Save $840+ on Wi-Fi for the Nikon D4

[Gear] Save $840+ on Wi-Fi for the Nikon D4


Via NikonRumors, this is something everyone should know about: a do-it-yourself $30 wifi kit for the Nikon D4! It really speaks for itself. Read on for the details. Who knows, maybe something similar could be done for the 1D X. I wouldn’t be surprised at all…
This is what NikonRumors had to say:
The NR reader Voudas sent me this inexpensive alternative for controlling your NikonD4 camera through WiFi:
“The idea was to connect the small VAP11G portable WiFi bridge device (available on eBay and Amazon) to the D4′s Ethernet port in order to use it through WiFi. I setup the Ethernet connection of the D4 and then used the VAP11G device to connect through my WiFi. I then used my laptop and iPhone to check the WiFi connectivity with the D4. It worked like a charm!
The limitation of the device is that it didn’t act as an access point – it would always need an established WiFi network, but the important thing was to prove that the price of the WT-5 price is ridiculously high ($877) and the VAP11G does the same thing for around $30. This limitation could probably be eliminated with the Asus WL-330gE wireless access point.”
Hear’s a link to get that bridge device on Amazon.

If we’ve learned anything from the record number of tweets sent surrounding Beyonce’s pregnancy announcement last September, it’s that social media users love baby news.

E! News reported earlier this week that Jersey Shore cast member Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, 24, is expecting a child with her boyfriend Jionni, despite denying it to various media outlets last month.

You may argue that no one cares about the personal life of Snooki; search trends suggest otherwise. Not only did the pregnancy rumors start trending on Twitter — with hashtags such as #mamasnooks — it also dominated Google search trends. “Snooki pregnant” made the top 10 most-searched list.

Although Snooki is usually active on Twitter, she hasn’t tweeted much since the E! report — and has yet to address it. However, actors Steve Carrell and Zach Braff shared their reactions via the site.

“I hope Snooki doesn’t have problems delivering her baby. She’d hate to hear the doctor say, “we have a little Situation here,” @SteveCarell tweeted.

Carrell’s tweet has since been removed without explanation.

Some users on Twitter said that Snooki’s alleged due date is December 21, 2012 — coincidentally, the last day of the Mayan calendar. But since some reports indicate that she is already a few months pregnant, this seems unlikely.

Although Twitter hasn’t released numbers yet regarding the number of tweets surrounding the rumors, the site has said that Beyonce’s baby news announcement at the 2011 MTV Music Video Awards received more mentions for each second than the Women’s World Cup, Japan’s New Year and Osama bin Laden’s death.
