Combining robust connectivity within an integrated battery grip design, the WFT-R10A Wireless File Transmitter is a network workflow asset for the Canon EOS R5 C and R5 mirrorless camera bodies. This transmitter/grip combination permits transferring of image files using either wired or wireless LAN connections with FTP, FTPS, and SFTP support for secure sharing. EOS Utility and Network Setting Tool support, along with an updated and intuitive interface, permit creating various wireless configurations of varying complexities, including enhanced support for linked multi-camera shooting and wirelessly synced applications.
As a grip, the WFT-R10A accepts up to two LP-E6/LP-E6N/LP-E6NH batteries. It also provides users with a set of vertical controls and dials, including a shutter release and joystick, to make the camera more comfortable to use in a portrait orientation. Additionally, the grip has the same level of dust and water resistance as the R5 itself to suit working in inclement conditions.

Canon WFT-R10A Overview
Both wired (Ethernet) and wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) connectivity options are available for custom networking solutions. Wireless support has been upgraded over the base camera with 802.11ac/c 2x2 MIMO Technology to achieve transfer speeds of up to 867 Mb/s. Also, standard 802.11b/g/n at 2.4 GHz and 802.11ac/a/n at 5 GHz are options for compatibility with different networks.
As a vertical battery grip the WFT-R10A offers the expected advantages of longer battery life and easier operation for vertical shooting. It holds two LP-E6NH/LP-E6N/LP-E6 battery packs. It also has vertical controls, including dials, a multi-controller, and shutter release. Additionally, it is dust and moisture resistant to match the camera.
Professional workflows sometimes require advanced remote transfer options, including FTP and encryption. The WFT-R10A allows configuring for direct image transfer from the camera to local or offsite servers using FTP, FTPS, and SFTP.
EOS Utility software is avaialble, providing options for Live View remote shooting and image transfer. This works well with the Network Setting Tool for adjusting network-specific options using a computer. This tool allows the export and import of setting files (NIF), LAN setup, and the ability to check access to the FTP server and create folders.
One camera can connect to up to ten receiver cameras (all equipped with the WFT-R10A) via wireless LAN for remote multi-camera shooting or to sync time of all the cameras.

Canon WFT-R10A Reviews
Can’t use both batteries simultaneously for camera functions.

Didn’t realize it doesn’t use both batteries for camera function. Only uses one for camera function and one for wifi. Total waste of money.
Not worth it. It's not what you think

Long-time Canon user and CPS member. I love me some Canon because although they might not be the first to come out with something, when they do it's solid and well thought out. I can't say that about this item. All other versions of this is a way to get more out of your camera. For example, it allows you to prove double the battery power. So when I saw this version which also included a way to add better wifi and physical ethernet port I was sold regardless of price. But then I found out it doesn't utilize both batteries and separates the two. So now you can be shooting and barely use wifi or not at all and run out of battery with the other battery full. there is no way to switch via software or automatically. If anything at least allow me to use both batteries. That and the wifi is just as bad although better (I don't understand why camera wifi is sooo slow compared) What's strange is the handle with its ethernet poet is trying to reach out to studio shooters but why would any studio want to use this thing when you cant provide continuous power? I'm not sure if it works with a dummy battery but it seems to me if you wanted to add a physically port yet not allow a longer-lasting battery solution as you had before at least have a built-in AC adapter where you can plug the bad boy in. then the price would be worth it. make it right canon and provide a firmware update to allow the sharing of both batteries at least.

How fast are file transfer for jpg and raw?
To add value to answer,...I have a Nikon WT-7 for my D500 and D850. And it's also at the 802.11ac protocol (...though I'm not sure if it's 2x2 MIMO), but it transfers Full Raw images around 6.x secs,....Small Fine Jpegs near instant,...all others Jpeg sizes from 2-4 secs or so. Note, the Access Point (Router) must also be 802.11ac. Hth

How does this product provide extended battery life?
It does not. One is dedicated for the wireless function and the other is dedicated for the camera. Hopefully Canon releases a firmware update to allow you to choose how it manages power if not using the wireless portion.

The description reads "It holds two LP-E6NH/LP-E6N/LP-E6 battery packs for effectively double the runtime." but on the Canon website it states "*Each of the batteries works independently, supplying power to the camera and Wireless File Transmitter separately." Does this mean that at all times the grip will only draw power from one battery during normal usage, or does it only split the power when it's actively using the wireless capability?
I have this grip. In my experience the camera will not use both batteries. Once one battery is depleted, I have to swap batteries within the magazine to continue. I really hope Canon addresses this in a firmware update, allowing us to select the behavior.

What does this give me, when I get an r5 wi-fi, talking with a laptop and some kind of download workflow software? Do I really get much more for $1K here?
The benefits of this unit is that it is a battery grip, gives improved Wi-Fi connectivity compared to the camera's base Wi-Fi protocols, ability to connect to FTP/SFTP/FTPS servers with encryption, wired connectivity via Ethernet, and the ability to have a multi-camera setup with other cameras with equipped with this device.

If you shoot RAW+JPG, can you transfer just the .jpgs (for speed) while having RAW images on the card?
When using the Canon WFT-R10A Wireless File Transmitter for EOS R5 C & R5 Mirrorless Camera to transfer files, you can choose the type and size of file to transfer--JPEG Large, JPEG Small, etc.
