Import 1D X files to iPad

[jrhoffman75]

Trying to import files from my Canon 1D X to my iPad using the USB3 Camera Connector. Works fine with my Canon T5i and a T6s. All I get when I connect my 1D X is grey squares; no images. Camera disk light flashes and if I select Delete Photos the files on the camera are erased.
Does anyone have luck importing 1DX files to iPad?
It worked last September before this round of updates.

Just received camera back from Jamesburg facility. The USB module was defective. Transfer works properly now.

Good.  Just to be clear to me, you are simply putting photos on your ipad?  You do not use the ipad 'while' you are shooting?

[jrhoffman75]

Correct. I do not know how to do that, or if it’s possible, via USB. I know it can be done via WiFi.

Well our 1Dx's don't have wi-fi so I guess I will stick with the laptop.  I currently use an active (powered) USB cable and a 17" laptop with LR to tether to the 1Dx.  It works great.  It is just big.

I have used up to 75"' of USB with the active cables.
