Smart phone sim reader
« on: September 26, 2017, 05:16:02 PM »
I've been packing in my lap top to read my game cam cards.  There has to be a better way.  Any suggestions?

Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.
Psalm 144.1

Curious as well. I prefer a stand alone reader though. Don't want to load my phn up with a bunch of un needed data.

Do I need some sort of app to use that?  This would be for an Android phone.

I use an old digital camera to read SD cards while in the field.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

You can find about a thousand different card readers online from $5-$15.  I have an android and downloaded the ES File explorer app and its lets you manage/navigate/view photos very easily. I think this is pretty similar to the reader I have

Without the ES file explorer app I believe your phone will give you a screen full of thumbnails then you have to click on each one individually then back out and click on another one without the ability to swipe to the next photo. with the app you can just keep swiping.  fyi.

I carry an old tablet with me that accepts an SD card, but lots of options as posted above.
