If you are experiencing any issues with importing your footage onto the Shootsta iPad using the supplied SD card reader, here are several workarounds for getting your video content from your Sony a7ii or a7iii camera onto a device that will allow you to upload to Shootsta.
-
Use the black micro USB cable provided in the kit to connect the Sony camera's "multi" micro USB port on the side of the camera and your laptop's USB port, to import files directly from the camera (whilst camera switched off). You might need to use home computer, as your company’s IT Security may block external media/hardware access. This option will also depend on what image importing software is installed on your computer.
-
Use a computer that has a built-in SD card reader slot to read the SD card directly. You might need to use a home computer, as your company’s IT Security may block external media/hardware access.
-
Use an SD card reader that works with normal USB ports and plug into your laptop to import files. You might need to use a home computer, as your company’s IT Security may block external media/hardware access. This item is not provided in your Shootsta Kit.
-
Use an SD card reader that works with your personal Android device (either micro USB or USB-C type connection ports). This item is not provided in your Shootsta Kit.
