Zaxcom and SD Cards in CF Adapters?

Guys and Gals -

 

When mirroring from a Deva 5 and or a Deva 16, does anyone have any experience with SD cards being used in CF adapters ?

 

I had a shoot yesterday with the client handing me an SD card. 

They did not plan on any sort of data wrangling process and were just taking all the files home on CF cards (pictures) and an SD card (sound) Not a huge problem - but it could have been, if they were any tighter on their flight.  I did have to get out the laptop and transfer from my CF card to their SD card. 

It might have been the very first time I had used the SD slot on my MacBook Pro!

 

Anyway, it just made me think that it might be a good investment to get and work with a couple of SD cards and appropriate CF adapters -  SanDisk Extreme Pro seems to work fine for me. 

 

Any issues anyone knows of ?  FW power transfers just fine? or not ???

I think that should work but I think you need a TYPE I adapter since a TYPE II might be too fat to get past the outer metal case.

Howy!

You may recall that nearly two years ago when we were in discussion about my Deva V not accepting SDCards (electronically)via an adapter. The Deva would not mirror to an SD. Card with either a Sandisk or Lexar reader and would not mirror to D-Lock even with a CF card. All the adapters fitted all the readers mentioned.

Sorry, I was thinking of Devas and Fusions that have a built in CF mirror card slot (which I am pretty sure works with SD albeit slower than CF).  I don't know the results of trying it with a FireWire CF adapter.  The FireWire adapter chip in the CF adapter would be responsible for being able to talk to the SD adapter.
