The Gnarbox team is working hard on delivering new features and updates to the apps, but it will take some time to deliver them to the end users. Once they are done, I check that everything has actually transferred using the app and then I format the SD card in the camera, ready to start the whole process again. To my surprise, I was able to see all the image thumbnails of RAW files from the X-H1, which is pretty cool! While entirely speculation, it is likely that the current status of GNARBOX and the reason for the departure of its team was due to financial troubles.

LamboTech does show the LamboGo can connect to a mobile device, but only in the case of charging that device. still looking for a rugged RAID1 solution (out on the road for N weeks and this dies with all my data!I cannot imagine what would happen to the unit if I let it copy a memory card at warmer temperatures – it would probably end up melting the chassis and potentially even destroying the data on both the unit itself and the memory card. While it is helpful to have the two LED lights, I personally would prefer some other way of providing information to the end user. This way, one could continuously use the Gnarbox in Mass Storage Mode without quickly running out of battery. Yes, it was smaller than a laptop and more handy in the field, but it was simply way too expensive for what it did. Somebody with deep Google skills might find a slightly more accurate version, but that's the gist of the law.

Initial transfer speeds on the drives are always very high, but as the heat starts to build up they slow to a crawl to compensate.

Pressing the right button temporarily powers up the LCD screen to show you the battery level, as well as provide a notification about holding this button to power up the Gnarbox.

This review was supposed to be published in September, but the development team asked me to delay it due to the new features that were planned to be introduced with the latest firmware and iOS app updates. That’s a big deal, because if I have a ton of cards to back up, I no longer have to worry about waiting forever for my data to get backed up.I think the overall footage looks decent, although to be honest, I would only use the Gnarbox to post something quick to social media. This product as nice as seemed to be on a paper has turned to be a too expensive non-upgradeable backup device. This also has a big effect on the battery life – less time backing up allows me to back up more data on a single charge. This whole thing shows, it doesn't matter how smart an idea is, the success of it depends on your people-skiils, and gnarbox had none of it.
