wow...is it really on the market? but looking the connector head kinda rare to find with the camera connector slot?

This thing can only be found at expansys webpages. Not even Samsung has it. So I wount give 2 much 2 it. Greetings Ottschke

Where I can find this item? I'm looking forward to buy it. Is there anyone who already has and working?

So what does this actually do?

What it does is allow you to put an SD card from your camera into one end and then connect the other end to the tab. This would allow you to move files back and forth, hence the name Camera Connection Kit.
BUT this product is vaporware because the tab is not a USB host. This thing will never exist and never did exist. It is something that the iPad has and perhaps a optimistic marketer either at Samsung or Expansys slapped a Samsung logo on a pic of the iPad dongle because they expected it to be released.
There are a few other solutions to getting pix from your camera to the tab, none are elegant and some are expensive.
1) Remove your MicroSD from your tab and insert it into a SD card adapter and then insert into your camera. This is cheap but is a pain and the microsd can get hosed if you do not carefully mount it and dismount it when reinserting or removing.
2) Root your tab, buy an Eye Fi X2 Pro card for your camera, install Android Tether for root users and use the card to wifi transfer to your tab, using Eye-Fi Server for Android OS or Fe-Fi or MoPhotos from the Android market
3) Root your phone, remove your microsd, use mobidapter (USB to microSD dongle) and then use root explorer to transfer pics to you internal SD card.

in other words, tab is not gadget to work with camera becaused of this connector issued

darn....... why does all this camera kits stuff have to be in SD Card Format???? My camera only supports CF cards..... and a lot of those mid to high end DSLR used CF.

response from expansys
Expansys inform me before 4 hours that the specific item has remove from the products list!!!!
What can i say?

Honestly... you probably don't want to use your tablet for DSLR photos anyway.
Besides the fact that RAW images are large files (~20-30MB) and huge resolutions (18 Megapixel) that no tablet can adequately handle... there is no way to calibrate the screens or make or convert RAWs on a tablet.
I would use a point-and-shoot camera with a microSD card inside a SD adapter.
Tablets are supposed to be about putting small size and mobility foremost over wide functionality or productivity.

would the current usb kit for the 10.1 work on the p1000?

How does the viewsonic gtab have usb host on 2.2¿
Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk

Because Viewsonic customized the rom and added it in.

so it becomes a software problem?
i thought there are hacks to enable it on 2.2/2.3 too?

it was possible to inject 2.1 with host mode, many cheap tablets did it. However the p1000 is missing the host protocol on-chip so cannot do the required functions like power regulations etc. So tis more of a no hardware than a software problem.

my thoughts are the usb chip doesn't have ability to control unit to socket power, hence why anything that requires a fair number of volts wont work (memcard reader, mouse, thumbdrive etc)
And I have a few 2.1 tablets with USB host, and a 2.2 tablet with usb host (Scroll and some other weird make).
So not sure what is not correct here? If you have info that rebuts this please share?

I would very much like to be wrong on this, but all of my development and rough research along with the fact there are no volt dependent accessories for the tab7 lead me to conclude that it doesn't do it!
The reason I want to be wrong is that I have a few tabs here and want them to be the product of choice for a project I'm doing, the limiting factor is usb host, I would really want it for 2 hardware accessories, but I found only evidence that the chip that controls the in-socket and the onboard controller do not have ability to play with voltage to the socket thus can never accept any accessory that requires above the base voltage of the board.
Again I REALLY WANT TO BE WRONG here
Let me know if you have any info to say thats wrong please please please !

Storage Solution: My Personal Take

I've been working on a little project of my own for the past few days, trying to fit the largest amount of storage into the smallest space. Here's the current version:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And here's what's under the heatshrink:
It's an 8GB drive, but I could easily do it again with up to 32GB of storage. I shorted the 5th pin to ground, so it is properly recognized as though it were plugged into an OTG cable. The Micro USB connector is attached to the memory with JB Weld epoxy. I used a SanDisk Cruzer FIT USB drive to make this.
Thoughts?

Great Project! Just to confirm, does USB OTG work with the Nexus 4?
On this thread no one seems to be able to make it work?

Just take my money please!

If it works, you should mass produce these.
Btw is that your nexus 4 already cracked?

It's a Galaxy Nexus.

have you thought about spraying it with plastidip to give it a shell?

That could work well. I'm currently waiting for the JB Weld to fully cure. This one was more of a proof-of-concept, if I make another it should look better and have more storage.

Does this drain the battery any quicker?
Let's say if you were using it to read data off constantly?

It looks dumb, they should have built it with an SD slot or have a 32gb model, will not buy until it does.

Good job to the Op - I don't see this sort of affair as a problem because I'd only need the extra storage while it's not connected to a charger or PC anyway.
But... Would it be possible for someone to make a very small USB connector that folds around the back (like a ribbon-cable sort of affair) to avoid the risk of snapping in the pocket - that way you could stick the SD Card on the back of the phone when you're using it.

Go buy a different phone with a sd slot and stop complaining, the OP's work is innovative to say the least, we'll done! A thought tho, a bumper case with built in storage device on the back, a small ribbon cable to a micro-usb connector in the bottom of it and voilà...
Edit: Previous post got in between, hehe... This is what you get for taking a break to smoke and chit-chat before typing out the last and posting... No offense, two people, same kinda idea! Awesome.
Tapatalked from my h4x0r3d up Maguro.

The way I see it:
Use a thick(ish) case, to protect the glass.
Make a mod like this, but with longer, flat cable.
Carve a hole in the case to accommodate and protect this all.
Use wireless charging since the microUSB port will be occupied at all times.
PROFIT.

Aftermarket Dock (using POGO). Would you Kickstart?

So I am usually a lurker on XDA, but I thought I'd get the community's thoughts. I'm a fellow Nexus 7 owner and I want a dock that uses the pogo pins. I'm tired of waiting for ASUS and I also happen to be a mechanical engineer that works in the consumer electronics industry. So, I've mocked up my own design. It's similar to the ASUS design and will have USB charging and audio out. The only way I could bring it to market is Kickstarter.
Before I go through that much effort (Kickstarter has revised its approval process) I want to gauge demand. The sale price would be $30. I've made a poll below to streamline things, but feel free to add comments. Rendered concept below. I am also considering adding stereo RCA outputs as well. Would you want that?

|UPDATE 1|
Thanks everyone for the feedback! I'm still in the early design phase so feedback helps. To address the request for speakers: at this point it's not something I'm looking to add. It adds cost, development time and complexity. Depending on how well things go if I put it on Kickstarter, a speaker option may be considered. Also, now that I've seen there is some interest, I refined the design slightly to slim it up. See below:

Would adding some sort of HDMI out be too complicated or difficult?

Unfortunately, the Nexus 7 doesn't have any method of outputting an HDMI signal. In fact, the pogo pins do not allow for data, just audio and charging.

Hi!
Is it easy to put a charging light on the front?
I would be interested!

Oh ok. I don't really know much about electronics. I barely passed my circuits class in college, lol.
At any rate, I have never used kickstarter, so as long as I can pledge without using paypal (we had a falling out back in 2005), I would be happy to help out with this!

Add a holo blue charging light and I'm in for one..

If you could figure out a way to make it with external speakers instead of an audio jack or (maybe I am getting ambitious here) if possible external speakers AND audio jack and I would pay the 30 dollars

I'd personally rather not pay to have a below-par amplifier included.

well, if you WANT to people buy your dock, putt 2 USB's. i would buy a dock, but a dock like this needs a USB ports. so everybody could use mouses, keyboards or harddrives.

I would love to, but the pogo pins do not support USB OTG (needed for keyboards, usb drives, etc.) That would require connecting to the micro-USB port. Also, as of now, charging while using OTG is almost non-functional. It may be possible with the Nexus 10 (6 pin pogo) but not the 7.

I'd buy it if available on Europe

Project FrankenNexus

Hey guys,
So i got bored and decided I wanted to try expanding the storage capabilities of my N7. Using StickMount Pro, an OTG cable, a Western Digital 500GB HDD and some double sided tape, I mounted the HDD to a back case and viola... I now have a 516GB N7!!! In the near future I will attempt to add a 4-port USB hub... stay tuned!
UPDATE:
Well this started as a bored guy having fun and has evolved into an actual project.
I've decided to scale back somewhat in an attempt to be more power friendly.
On this attempt I scrapped the HDD (for obvious reasons). I modified the OTG cable and added a 4 port USB hub with a dongle for my mouse. The remaining 3 USB ports will be used for 2x mini USB card readers w/ 32GB micro SD cards and another dongle for my wireless keyboard.
BTW the flip case makes a great mouse pad.
UPDATE 12/29:
Now that some of my X-Mas goodies have arrived I've added 2x mini USB readers and 2x SanDisk Mobile Ultra 32GB Class 10 micro SD cards.
Stay tuned for more awesomeness as the rest of my goodies have yet to arrive...
UPDATE: 01/10/13:
This project has morphed a few times now but I finally have a configuration that works for me. I wanted to make this a project that anyone can do without all the soldering and modding that I see in other threads around the web. I originally wanted to make a case with the mods built in to it, but after some serious consideration, I decided that I wanted a much easier project ( I am quite lazy). The only real modification I made was to the USB OTG cable, but is not necessary to make this work.
So here's some pics:

kudos for trying to work on the storage problem..but i wouldnt really call duct taping a harddrive to a case a "mod"

velcro woulda been a smarter idea as thats what i plan on doing using otg cable and usb-to-mini adapter so no extra cable

As you can see I have too much time on my hands and don't take anything seriously. This was just a fun way to waste some time. As for battery life... I get about 2 hours if I'm lucky lol.

SSDs are getting cheaper and use less power, that might be a route to go for the next mod

loooooooooool

Off topic, but what is that shell case you're using, OP?

Though implementation was a little funny, this is an excellent idea!
SSD and some more creative work with cable shortening/plug modding would make a pretty sweet beast.
Thanks for sharing!

Not really a mod but I do like the concept...Imagine having a really thin SSD drive strapped to the back of your n7

Doesn't that affect portability? I've contemplated using a wi-drive, but wondered how much constant activity would deplete the battery

Why not a usb stick instead of ssd? Can pick up a 64gb one for less than £23..... Take the externals apart and make your own case for it?

Hey,
If you don't mind me asking, what case is that?

I'm currently working on a few different versions. The one pictured, one using a SSD (which is much more portable and uses way less battery) and one using a 4 port USB hub and 4 x 128 GB Flash Drives. More pictures to come upon successful completion.

what about making a case for the hdd that it sits in and clips to the edges of the nexus 7 like a car mount but a hdd to the nexus type mount

homemade reverse side OTG adapter.

I often use on the go adapter for usb sticks and joysticks. The problem I find is that the micro adapter justs acts as a nice lever that is going to kill my socket. So I decided to adress the problem by spreading the load while at the same time tucking it out the way. Funny that when I came into the forum there seems to be threads about making some tiny little usb/sdcard adapters, obviously the smaller the better.
My solution is not small but when I fall asleep watching a movie and me nexus ends up on the floor hopefully nothing will snap!

It is comfortable and makes me nexus much more easy to handle while using OTG.
what's the verdict?
Update...
Power adapter addon.
Was going to make another adapter that included a socket for charging. But infact the original adapter already allows for charging using timurs kernel. But of course I could only charge or use otg but not both. I made this addon that attaches to the original and allows power and otg.
It is quite bulky! I will probably make an all in one at some point.
As for a tutorial... well wiring diagrams for making otg cable can be found all over the web. All I did was use the stripped down to the bare bones usb plugs and sockets, covered nexus in cling film, then used some milliput (can be bought in hardware shops, like plasticine bet sets hard) to fashion the adapter. Bobs your uncle.

Looks good, and does solve that issue.
Another good idea would be a non-OTG version for charging while in use.
Either way, very nice... :thumbup:

Thanks danvee, i had been thinking of one with charging capability as i use timurs otg kernel which allows charging and otg at the same time. I had not however thought of making one that simply charged though, great idea thanks.
