Buy: Pentax OFC-1 16GB FluCard for K3 DSLR Camera, WiFi SD Card Card Series: Unique (No Series), Card Type: SDHC, Package Count: Single Pack, Special Features: Wireless LAN

It serves to control and remotely view the camera from a phone, tablet or computer. The resolution is very limited, if you have a 1080p device, it won't use the full resolution, not even close.

It's limited to it own wifi network, you cannot use it on an existing network.

And I was really hoping for eye-fi like functionality where the files automatically get pushed to my computer, but there's no auto push and without access to my home network, it couldn't do it anyway.

I am sorely disappointed with this and returned it.

Very Limited functionality

The Pentax Flu Card works well, faster and more reliably than (at least on Pentax cameras) than the Eye-Fi Pro X2 I've used with the K-5 and K-3 in the past.
Of course, it has the remote control features, and live view that the Eye-Fi doesn't support.
Overall, a great product, and just what I was hoping for.

Works great, does what it is supposed to

Bought a Pentax K-3 camera Christmas 2013 and have bad the Flu fever since! The card arrived early March and have been doing some cursory testing. I had to visit the main Pentax (English) Japan site to download the user guide and supplement. The card is meant to work with Chrome and Safari browsers. I have Chrome on a Android Asus Tablet and Alienware 64-bit laptop. On either device you only get a minimum of the features available for remote control and it's a bit haphazard in operation. I borrowed the wife's iPad Air with Safari...now that's more like it, all features available just as shown in the user guide. Excellent. Wireless setup between the camera and external device is easy. Operation of the camera via the iPad is really good, via Chrome, not so good at all. So far, Flu Card is recommended for Safari users.
