Ryan, I don't have the adaptor. I also transfer using the USB (and using an X-Drive and via card readers). And I use the remote assistant to copy slides. It all works well without the need for the adaptor if you use high power NiMH AA batteries. The secret to getting long life from batteries is not to use the internal flash or the image preview.
