Examples include using the DawnTech 10-pin pass thru to enable a Giga T Pro intervalometer, no Giga T Pro intervalometer, FX & DX Crop, Live View and Viewfinder View, Silent Mode 1, & shutter release. I took 18 shots using different configurations. Update: I did some more tests this morning. Does this DawnTech device have a delay anything like the Snapbridge 5-minute delay? Is it either much quicker, or configurable in any way So I'm still interested in perhaps getting one of these units that connects to the camera, bakes the coordinates into the NEF file. QUESTION: my GPS unit is entirely separate (no 10-pin connection) and so requires syncing up the GPX tracking file with the photos in Lightroom's Map module. I found that the 1-2 minute setting was way too slow if you're doing any kind of moving around at all. I tested with my current camera and an external GPS unit using different time increments, starting with 1-2 minutes, moving to 30-60 seconds, and then 15-30 seconds (settings internal to the GPS unit I used - your mileage may vary). ![]() And that's not configurable to a shorter duration. Much less than SnapBridge.īesides everything else that's been mentioned in reply to this: the Snapbridge functionality only requests coordinates from the smartphone every 5 minutes. If so, I really wonder why anybody would use it on an earlier camera.Īs Bill noted, the drain on the battery seems minimal. Nikon claims (and my dealer assures me) that it is much improved on the D850. Very slow to pair, a constant drain on the battery unless you risk having to re-pair it, and unreliable. Also, the workflow is a bit cumbersome compared to having the coordinate directly inserted to every image - if only it were working correctly! I have not tried Geotag Pro, but that would be my backup plan if I can't get the DawnTech GPS working. It failed to capture about 30% of the shots on my recent trip to Yellowstone. But they seem to have not kept pace with the IOS updates and it is now very buggy. I have used GPS4Cam on my iPhone for years, and it used to work very well. Wouldn't it be easier to use Snapbridge or an app on the mobile like Geotag pro rather than bother sticking a GPS dongle in the camera which saps the battery somewhat? Then you'll need to figure out why it isn't showing up in a particular program.įWIW, I would never use Nikon Transfer it changes your file content. The first test would be to drag/drop the files and use a tool like Exiftool to verify the GPS information (I'm sure it's there). But this is my first time using the Dawntech GPS, and there seem to be a lot of satisfied customers out there. LR cannot find any GPS data in the imported images.Ĭan anybody help? I presume that whatever worked on a D800 or D810 ought to work with the D850. drag and drop to the desktop & then importing into LR ![]() I have tried the following:ġ) Imported images from the XQD card via the reader & LRĢ) Imported images from the XQD card via the reader & Nikon Transfer & then importing into LRģ) Imported images from the XQD card via the reader using the Mac Finder (e.g. The coordinates show in the metadata when I look at the image in the camera.īut, I do not find any GPS data attached to my images once I download them!Īt the moment I am only working with JPEGs. I just added the Dawntech GPS Eco Pro 2 to my new D810.
