Title: Trail camera phone adapter
Post by: nontypical on January 31, 2016, 07:05:32 PM: I saw a Sims card reader that plugs into your cell phone on bass pro shop website. I was just wondering if anyone has tried one yet. They look really handy because they are small and light weight. Just wasn't sure how fast pictures would down load or show up on my phone.

If you were looking at hundreds of photos, it might be a little cumbersome. It wasn't all that slow, but it's that easy to work through multiple galleries and view every photo like it would be on a tablet, laptop or desktop computer.

Works with my android, micro USB, but I have to use ES File Explorer to transfer photos.

No complaints about speed, and beats lugging my laptop through the woods.
