I am not sure about Nikon or Fuji or other cameras, but many of the newer Canon cameras that have two card slots allow for using the camera to copy from one card to the other. For cameras with one of the slots as an SD card, you might consider getting enough SD cards to make copies, including backup copies, right on to the cards. No external device is needed, not even a card reader. The cost tradeoff will need to be looked at to see if it is a worthy solution, but it sure would be the lightest weight way to solve your backup solution. Your 1DX II would need to be backing up on to CF, which are more expensive than SD, but you might even find that a different Canon camera could then copy the 1DX II files from those CF cards further on to SD cards....Show more →
I actually had to do something like that with the 5DsR because my older Transcend 1000x 64GB cards would not read in one PSD for some compatibility reason. Although the CF->SD copying did work it was not fast and did drain the battery. It's something to consider as a second copy, but I'd not trust it as the only copy.
