There is no reason to buy a card viewer if you own a digital camera you can use that. If you have an iPad that works pretty good as well, fits in the pack just fine, but you would need to buy the card reader for that.I have both, but the iPad screen is so much larger it would be nice to use it. Can you tell me about having to get a card reader for that? I assume you put the card in the reader and connect it to the iPad? Will any card reader do?

If you buy the mini sd cards, most Android and I-phones will suffice for a viewer as you can plug in the sd cards to your phone.
iPhones are not capable of viewing sd cards as far as I know. If you know something I don't, please share.
There is a plug in sd card reader for iPad but it doesn't work in the phone.

There's also a usb adaptor for iPad.
Looks pretty much the same.

Jackelope posted a picture of the adapter I use. I bought mine off amazon, came with two different adapters. They are made by Apple. I am sure there are probably other makers if you want to save a few bucks.
Here is a link to the adaptor I use...

That's the way I read it too, but you can't. At least you can't plug the sd card into an iPhone. iPhones don't have an sd card slot, and the adaptor that works in the iPad doesn't work in the phones.
That sucks for iPhone owners and thats why I stated "most" phones. Even the older style flip phones will accept mini sd cards. I guess that is just one more reason I refuse to buy an iPhone. :chuckle: I have an Android and have never had any issues with viewing pictures on my phone by swapping out mini sd cards.

Gotcha. I saw the part where you said I-phones and assumed that you meant iPhones. My bad. You can buy all sorts of inexpensive devices to look at pictures.

Not all file extensions from trail cams will work in your cameras. Some cameras will give you an error message so try it at home first.
Definitely try it out at home first. Pull card from tcam, view in camera and then put it back in tcam and verify that it will continue to work.
Some of my tcams won't read an sd card after it has been in my digital camera. They need to be formatted on the pc or in the tcam before they work again.

I recommend a light weight climbing device. You'll get great pics and keep your camera safer if you elevate it above the average Joe's reach. Remember, out of sight out of mind.I'm on it. The best way to keep everyone honest is to avoid giving "that one guy" a chance to be dishonest. Fear of getting ripped off is the primary reason I hadn't made the jump into trail cams yet.

I am no trailcam expert yet but I think people who are getting their cams ripped off are putting them obvious places or off a well beaten path . I think if a guy finds some well used game trails and places them there he will have a much better chance of the average guy finding them . If you place them along a grade where someone could possibly walk by and find them I would find a game trail and follow it back into the bush a ways and then set them ..It has worked well for me and in heavily traveled places .. I think when a guy is baiting he is making his own trails and people will find them ..Same down fall as a pot grower :yike: :chuckle:I recommend a light weight climbing device.

fwiw
I've never had an over head cam spotted that I can tell from photos.
