Does anybody use any of the iPhone compatible SD readers with success? Thanks for any help. I'm pretty excited about the camera. I set it up in the living room today so I can see what the Dog and cats do while we're away. Haha.

So I have the option of carrying the iPad when I check my trail cams, or my laptop.
I sure wish there was a way to do it on the iPhone. I did a little research but could not find any card readers that are made for that purpose.

what about an old phone, i have my old voyager phone (keep it as a back up just in case) still and it has an micro sd slot. the phone still turns on and functions just cant make calls or text. if you have an old phone with a micro sd slot charge it up and take that, just a suggestion

Just get another SD card, they are cheap, And swap them out.
:yeah:
No need for a 32gb card either. You could probably put about a gazillion pictures on that.

As far as SD card size goes, 32 is way more than I need? Should I just get another one that's 16GB or even smaller? I plan on doing one week soaks and I'm setting the camera to 4 megapixel instead of 8 to keep file sizes down.

I like the old phone idea. I do have an old Droid with an SD slot. However, I wouldn't be able to save the pics and email them to myself.

It varies greatly but I bet you might put 1000 trail cam pics on a 4gb card...I bought 8gb cards for mine and assume they are overkill.

But that would probably cost as much as the camera.

One other option is if you have a cheap digital camera you can throw it in your pack most have a SD car slot.This was the other thing I was going to mention to. I want to get some trail cams. I also have a cheap digital camers I actually use in my pack for hunting.

i dont know how well this translates but for reference sake, i run 8gb cards in my DSLR and if i set the camera to take fine quality 4.5mp jpegs the camera estimates the card will hold just over 2900 images 4.5mp set to course quality its just over 6000 images bump that up to 18mp on RAW its about 270 images

Now, back to an iPhone compatible SD reader...I called the local Apple store and it turns out that Apple does not make one for iPhones. Only iPads. However, there are some third party companies that make them such as the ZoomIt adapter I referenced earlier. I'm hoping someone has found one that works. it would just be so handy. Now that I think about it, I'd say it would be worth the money even if it were $50 or $60.

I do have two cards for every camera so I can just swap out cards, and I can look at the pictures when I get home. I do have a digital camera that I always have in my pack, but it doesn't work with sd cards bigger than 2 GB. Which is why I normally prefer to use the 2 GB cards, so that at least I have the option of viewing pictures while I'm in the woods.
The iPhone has a much bigger screen and if there was any way to use my phone to view pictures, it would easily be worth $50 or $60 for me as well.

This may be worth a try

My 1st concern is if the Apple one doesn't work with the iPhone but works with the iPad, how does this one work with all of them? In other words if there's something different about the devices that makes Apple's stuff not work with all of them, how does the aftermarket get around that.
