It won't connect when you are in a building with lots of wireless devices and signals

It won't connect when you are in a building with lots of wireless devices and signals. As a news photographer, I am in these situations quite often. When I was covering a campaign stop in Atlanta it would not connect to my computer. I spent hours on the phone with tech support trying to get it to work. As soon as I left the building it worked fine.

Happy with the device out of the box, will follow up after next game.

Preface this review with, I just got it, arrived right on time as promised by Adorama. I will follow up in a week after my next indoor soccer game I work with actual live working conditions functionality. I had no issue setting the device up and connecting right into "Adobe Lightroom" for wireless tethered capture over my home wifi network. It took me only 5 minutes to set up ( I do have to say thought that I have about 15 years of experience in LAN, IT and networking ). For someone who is not familiar with network setups this device might present more of a challenge to set up. Again, I will follow up in a week after I have actually used this at a game.

WFT-E6A Works Great

I've got one of these for ech one of my 1Dx's. These are the best wft's Canon has made. They are faster and will resend automatically if disconnected. I use these for everything from sports to weddings for immediate review of images. I've been using WFT's on all my 1 series cameras since 2007. I would not be without these on a paid shoot. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

• For EOS-1D X and EOS-1D C DSLRs
• For C300 Mark II, C500, and C300 Cameras
• Wireless-Only LAN Function

The Canon WFT-E6A Wireless Transmitter is an impressive device that boasts several upgrades over earlier permutations. Designed specifically for use with Canon's EOS-1D x, this transmitter offers wireless-only LAN functionality for ease when transferring data. It also now supports IEEE 802.11n for safe, fast wireless LAN transfers. Additionally, an internal Bluetooth function (Bluetooth v2.1 + EDR) is included for a secure connection to Bluetooth-compatible GPS devices for high-capacity data transfers.

The WFT-E6A also sports wireless time syncing now, which is a great advantage to those shooting events, allowing you to make adjustments to the device without having a direct connection to a computer. And in another upgrade, the WFT-E6A is also lighter and smaller than earlier models. It still features the same dustproof and waterproof capabilities it's older siblings have. In addition, the transmitter is able to link up to 10 cameras for numerous points of view on a single subject - but now with improved linkage to a WFT server by allowing it to start simultaneously when the master camera and slave cameras are manually connected.

For EOS-1D X Mark II, 1D
