Practical workflow to move images form iPad to external storage
Ive had a play with my iPad Pro and can R5 with the C1 iPad app, and even though I though this seemed like a gimmick, its actually a really good tether system.
If I shoot a day and have to off load images that night before the next shoot day, how do I do this efficiently? For example I can shoot images from 200gb to 600gb per day and if I have a multi day shoot I need to offload these at night quickly (So I can some sleep) and make a second copy- before clearing the iPad for the next day. Icloud obvious isn't a realistic option.
How do you offload in an easy and fast way?

You can’t at the moment. Take a look at App Store reviews.

If you have a Mac and connect the iPad it will show up as an external drive in the finder. From there you can copy the entire C1 Catalog (with embedded RAWs) directly to your hard drive. I've done this several times already with no hassle.

Hey Paul, did you end up deciding the iPad process could work for you?
I tested an iPad Pro M1 256GB for file transfer speeds...
Export 400 A7rV photos. Total files: 35.43GB
OWC EnvoyProFX2TB formatted APFS - 2800MB/s spec
02:07 - Time from pressing “export” button in C1 to the location option menu popping up
00:41 - Transfer time to External Drive
02:49 - Total Time
Samsung T5 - 540MB/s spec
02:02 - Time from pressing “export” button in C1 to the location option menu popping up
02:19 - Transfer time to External Drive
04:21 - Total Time
Pretty happy to see the faster the drive the faster the transfer.

Curtis Gallon plugging the iPad into my MBP via a USB-C to USB-C cable. It will ask on the iPad if you want to "Trust" this computer, enter your unlock code and then it will show up in the Mac finder.
