Hey All!
I have a Z6 with no external XQD carte reader. I use a Macbook Pro for my main computer. I tried the following steps to connect the Z6 to my laptop to transfer video and nix happened.
1) Turn off Camera
2) Plug photographic camera into computer with USB-C (using Mac thunderbolt cable)
three) Turn on Camera
What am I missing?
I can do the WiFi, I've washed this for pictures. The WiFi is not skilful for the 1080/120p video I did, takes well-nigh 4 hours to transfer 10 mins of video.
-- UPDATE & Decision --
The conclusion is to get a card reader. Is seems to be the preferred method per Nikon Shooter (read below). The various softwares available to directly connect the Z6 to a MacBook may be duplicative and more than burdensome than the $30 - $60 options, unless those other software packages have other use cases.
Thanks to all who provided feedback, if you are new to the Z6 and have the same question as listed above, it's worth reading the thread.

What version of MacOS are you on? I am not sure if Image Capture handles the Z6, simply the latest release probably does.
Nikon did abroad with the mass storage way 10 years ago, so your camera won't show up in Finder.
Take you tried downloading and installing Nikon's own software?

Peter, I'thou using MacOS Mojave. I have the wireless transmitter software for the Z6, is there some other piece of software y'all recommend? I'm going to check out paradigm capture.
What version of MacOS are you on? I am non certain if Epitome Capture handles the Z6, but the latest release probably does.

I'm using MacOS Mojave besides and you don't need any software
to transfer your files. The card being in the reader, just copy to
the desktop the folder with the RAWs and get not bad.

With Mojave, Prototype Capture should handle the Z6.
Otherwise Nikon View NX-i should mount the camera and let yous transfer your files.
A menu reader is definitely the easiest style as Nikon Shooter suggests.

A card reader is ever preferable to a USB camera connection

Cheers all. I ordered a card reader. This was a practiced confirmation that if anyone is looking to achieve the same matter, the best route is to become a menu reader.

when purchase card readers make sure they are 3.0 or thunder bolt since are fastest readers on marketplace. besides make sure you check to meet what computer laptop has for usb port. some tin can be two.0 or 3.0 or back up thunder bolt too.

I honey information technology when someone asks a question and everybody sends replies that are of no use. Of course a XQD menu reader, should be the best way - but what do y'all do when the $fifty.00USD ($79.00CDN), SONY XQD reader craps out (afterward 1 month)? Well, next movement is to effort a USB image transfer - merely if it's not mounting, then what? That's the question.

Everybody?
Image transfer or Nikon's own transfer software were mentioned before the get a cardreader chorus started.
Nikons don't mountain in a conventional sense as there is no mass storage mode. PTP camera transfer solutions work, though.

A card reader that craps out after one month is still nether warranty AFAIK. Simply get it sorted.

Probably not the best mode to introduce yourself to the members here but I am sure you lot will get some other opportunity

In one case you accept connected your cable to the camera, then to the computer, turned on your Camera. Open Image Capture. Y'all should then see your camera at that place and be able to download images straight to your computer. The camera will non appear as a split bulldoze. I found you demand to use image capture to recognize the camera.
Adept Luck 😃
