Hi,

Is there any way to transfer photos and videos that ae taken and stored on an iPad or iPhone ONTO an external memory drive or SD card without having a computer? This is important to conserve space and to avoid having to carry a laptop with you.

I understand that Apple sells a camera connection kit that has an SD card slot, but from what I know, this appears to be only for importing photos into an iPad or iPhone, and not the other way around? Or am I wrong?

The filename of the video must be the same as the camera format - change it to abc12345.mp4 for example, any 8 digits plus the extension then delete from photo app when done watching to open space.
Let us know if that helps....

Thanks for the info. A bit disappointed about the lack of large media export though. Makes taking pics and videos and storing media on an iPhone and iPad an issue if it means I need to carry a laptop with me too just to export videos for storage.

Transferred a 350mb video from the ipad yesterday using the Photo Transfer app. Just set your browser to the iPads address and it's treated as a browser download. Assume size isn't a problem.
