Title: Stealth Cam Issues
Post by: Kamo2112 on July 23, 2018, 02:03:50 PM: Yesterday while setting a cam (Stealth Cam P36) I set it up where I wanted and turned it on to take a few pics while I set my block up, so I could check angle, height and all that good stuff. I checked the 6 pictures it took in that time, cleared the card and put it back in, turned the camera back on. Now it is saying "NoCard". Any ideas what is going on?

I tried putting the card in my reader last night and if I put it in at the right angle it snags the lock and shuts it down :bash: Good news is this just means I have to make another trip to the mountains to set this cam. Silver lining right? Thanks again for all the ideas guys!
