Hi there,
iPad connected with camera via wifi (Sony A7s) and active 4G SIM card in but no internet.
Is there a way to force data through mobile network?
Thank you!

Hi psou,
Sadly Apple does not allow apps to bypass the wifi network and use cellular data: when a wifi network is active, then all communications use it.
If you want to have live internet while connected to your Sony, I wrote an app called BluePrint that does exactly this using bluetooth. It is free. More information here:

Hi there,
yes I am aware of the app but it needs an iPhone for it to work.
Anyway, thank you!

You're welcome. If you don't have an iPhone and your event location has decent wifi internet available, then one cheap option is to buy a used iPod Touch (latest generation). That'll run BluePrint just fine.
