This no doubt has been asked a few times - I did do a search, but many threads never had a definitive answer... so...
With this in mind, I've been pondering how best to organise myself for frequent trips with my cameras and recorders (GH4, GoPro, Ninja2).
Would Like:
I sold the 700T (as by the time I added the keyboard thing to it, it wasn't much smaller than my 15" Mac, so the last few trips I've taken my 15" Retina Mac with me, but its a pain...
Too be honest that is too big for me (as I'm on the limit of hand luggage anyway!) so I'm now looking at alternatives..

Would Like:
- SD to USB3 HDD Transfer (fast-ish)
- Playback of 4K Material
- Simple Organising / Editing (Binning / Flagging etc)

- Kingston MobileLite Wifi Thing
I purchased one for like €40 last week to have a play, and it works well with my iPhone for transferring from an SD Card to a 2TB USB Drive (supports exFAT) - but alas its only USB2 and the transfer speeds I get are 10.5MB/s - so working with 100Mbps 4K files - working out HOURS! to transfer stuff - and I have no real way of viewing the footage (Wifi payback stop/starts on the iPhone) - Android Device with USB3.0 and a OTG Cable
Only one I can find is the Galaxy Note 3 - But I haven't found any real world use of doing SD <> HDD transfer with one? And its an expensive thing to go and buy to find out it doesn't work - Apple Mac Air 11"
Much smaller than my Retina machine, similar size to a 10" tablet, light, but a low screen res (1366x768) - and I'm not sure if the i5 1.4GHz processor will play back 4K h.264 files? - SurfacePro2
I know, I know Windows 8. But nice screen, USB3.0, Slim keyboard. No FCPX.
I'm not Hackintoshing anymore - too many issues (Wifi, iCloud etc etc)
