Problem is, some of the trail cameras (Cuddeback and StealthCam for example), format the card so that it can't be read when you pop it into a digital camera. I have an iPhone 6s Plus and used the apple SD adapter this year to view my pics. The apple adapter only works with (I believe) the 5s and later iPhones.

Only problem here is when you google the "Boneview."

Ha. For the chance you may run into an image you weren't expecting, here's the link to the "boneview card reader"

https://www.boneview.com

I honestly really liked this device. I may contact the company and see what they say about it not working anymore.

Post by: browney5er on December 05, 2016, 07:33:20 PM: I've got a Wildgame Innovations card reader, pretty nice little unit. The screen is 2"x3 3/4, you can zoom on the pictures and have adjustable audio on video. I have no idea what it costs because my wife got it for me for Christmas a couple year ago. I'll try and post a picture it didn't work my first try.

Post by: wheels on December 05, 2016, 08:17:22 PM: does it only take certian cards ?
Title: Re: hand held card reader?
Post by: browney5er on December 05, 2016, 09:33:56 PM: Just the standard sd card.
Title: Re: hand held card reader?
Post by: Old Man Yager on December 14, 2016, 08:29:30 AM: I have the WildGame Innovations unit, I really like it. I would recomend keeping it in a protective cloth bag or something. I made the mistake of letting it rattle around in my backpack and in the gear box behind my seat, and now it has some pretty bad scratches on the screen. :twocents:

Post by: lamrith on December 14, 2016, 09:30:32 AM: I have a card reader for my phone. Honestly, it is a bit kludgy to use. Have to plug in, then find and open an app to search the folders on your phone then open the images. Mine would not scroll thru images, had to open one look, close it then open the next. Does it work, yes. Work well, meh not IMHO.

Title: Re: hand held card reader?
Post by: Naches Sportsman on December 16, 2016, 10:01:48 PM: The bone viewer sucks IMO. Like my much older wild game innocations reader, even though I can't save files to it.

Problem with the bone viewer is it wouldn't load s.d cards with more than a few hundred pictures to my s5.

Post by: wheels on December 17, 2016, 12:09:24 AM: i tried bone viewer also wouldnt read card
Title: Re: hand held card reader?
Post by: HookedOnQuack on December 17, 2016, 10:35:16 AM: I also bought the reader for my Iphone, very simple to use with the free app and you can save the images directly to your phone which is exactly what i was looking for. Got mine off Amazon for $20

Post by: Smoke on December 17, 2016, 10:39:08 AM: I just use a 9" tablet... larger screen for viewing, plenty of hard drive to store pics, able to delete pics from SD card and put back in camera, sort pics for later viewing and knowing where they were taken... light and easily fits in backpack...
