I find it easier, and quicker to have extra sd cards, and just swap them out.

I do that too, but I always like to see what's on the camera so I know if I should move it or not.

The only issue that I have is that these card readers for the ipad require that the images be in a dcim folder.  I dont think the wild game photos are in a dcim folder but I may be wrong.

I used to just pull the card and check it on a small Sony digital camera. Then I found Apple had a card adaptor for the iPad. That changed everything, the iPad hardly weighs anything. I just throw it in my pack, down load the pics real quick right at the camera. Then I can delete the card and return it to the game camera. Review, keep or delete pictures as needed on the spot and it gives me way better picture quality on the spot as compared to the digital I used to use.



iPhone would probably work too right?

Yes, Iphone works too.  DCIM for the wildgame cams is fine, I use an Ipad like Bighammer with my wildgame camera and it works great.  Fast transfer from card to Ipad/Iphone, erase and replace card, and you are outta there.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

This is great news.  I will order the apple card reader today.

you can also put the sd card in a wii it works great once you have the card at home i always have 3 or 4 other cards to swap out the one in the cam when checking the cam if i like the pics on the card then i take it home and pop it in the wii :twocents:
