C100: C100 Mark II wi-fi capabilities

[BrandonT]

So I just ordered my C100 Mark II from TMS. Hopefully I'll get it next week. For those of you who have gotten yours, I was wondering if you had gotten a chance to use its wi-fi features yet. It's one part that they were pretty vague on in the marketing. The FTP feature is cool for people in the field, but not something I'd use. I'm more interested in the features that let you use a smartphone or computer to control it. The marketing mentioned an app in some places, and said that it was through a browser in other places. Some mentioned controlling functions through the app, while the Japanese video showed a live view through a tablet.

So I'd love to hear more info once some of you get your hands on with it.

I've used the C100 MK II's wireless briefly, and it works just like the optional wireless on the C300.

You set up a network in the camera, connect to the network from any device with a web browser (phone, laptop, tablet) and then type the IP address you set the camera up as into a web browser.

You can start/stop record, see about a 10 fps live stream of the video, change white balance, shutter speed, focus, and a couple more things from any web browser.

It's handy for when the camera is on a gimbal, jib, or rigged up somewhere that it's inaccessible.

I believe the actual App they refer to has to do with viewing recorded media after the fact wirelessly from a phone.

I checked it out for a minute on my phone today. Easy to setup and viwe. Start stop and some other controls. The 10fps is about right. It was pretty choppy.
