  • I want close to real time display of the photos i shoot through a service I am planning to build. Once the file is on the FTP, the rest will be managed within seconds. The camera -> FTP transfer will be the big bottleneck here.

    5 minutes delay of the upload is not a problem, but if I shoot bursts of shots faster than the average upload time over an hour or two, then I will end up with a 40 minute delay from shot to display on the service, which is not acceptable in my use case.

    So one file taking 20 seconds to upload is not an issue if it is just one shot. But a burst of 8 shots taking 2 minutes will inevitably cause a queue wich will degrade the perceived quality of the service.

    For this reason I believe a USB-C tether to a device with a high speed 4G/5G/LTE connection responsible for uploading the files is the best option.

    The question is just, what does this box contain? How do I build that box to ensure the cellular connection, which I can not improve, is the transfer bottleneck?

    Hot tip:

    Set your favourite hero as your top priority hero. Then set two very popular heroes (I go for Arbrams and Seven) at the default white priority.

    This way almost always someone else will prioritize the other two higher than yours and you will end up with your hero of choice.

    Works well for me at least :)
