Camera Buddy for SATA hard drives
The DigiMate III enclosure, which we call the Camera Buddy, is a small, hand held, battery powered portable digital storage enclosure, or Photo Bank. It can accept any capacity 2.5" SATA hard drive. Once the hard drive is installed in the unit, the Camera Buddy can backup and save photos from a variety of memory cards, thanks to the built in card slots on the unit.
Copy Photos onto hard disk
Every time a memory card is inserted into the camera buddy, and the copy button is pressed, a copy of the memory card is made onto the internal hard drive. If you need to access your photos, you can connect the Camera Buddy to your computer and retrieve the photos.
The display on the Camera Buddy shows information relating to battery power, the memory card inserted, and the percentage complete when copying from a memory card. A very easy to use portable digital storage product.
Long battery life
The internal Li-on battery lasts around 2 hours per charge. There are numerous power options available with the Camera Buddy. The unit is supplied with a mains charger. A car charger and 4 x AA battery pack is available optionally.
Storage Depot also supply Camera Buddies/ Photo Bank devices and other portable digital photo storage products ready to go, with hard drives inside them. These may be a better choice than this unit, if you are not sure how to format hard disks.
