I recently received a batch of new Amrel Rocky DA5-Ms fresh off the production line for my Combat Camera Marines. These are top of the line mil-spec ruggedized Pocket PCs, with some unique features not found in consumer devices. They are great for use with Phojo as they have as a USB Host port (full size too, so much less prone to the cable falling out), for connecting to the camera, and a PCMCIA card slot for adding a military radio, or an ethernet card for connection to a BGAN sat modem. This combination will work great with Phojo’s Remote Editing feature. You`ll have to forgive the audio quality, I was in a hurry to get these shipped off to Iraq!

I am a sales guy at Amrel and really want to start showign this more to all of my potential DoD customers. Will this work with my Canon Digital Rebel XT?
Thanks!

Hi Jerry,
Yes, if you hunt through the camera menus you should find an option to change the USB mode from PTP to Normal or WFT Mode, this lets you shoot while tethered. You also need to turn on Phojo’s USB driver via File->Preferences->General. Give me a call on 951 750 1052 x3 if you`d like me to walk you through all the features, Remote Editing in particular impresses all those who see it in action:

I use an Amrel DA5-M and own a Canon 40D. Can you tell me how to accomplish this with my camera?
