    How many do the SD card shuffle when you are checking your cameras?

    Well I don't any more. :) I finally broke down and bought a IPAD mini and the camera adaptor kit. So now when I go check cameras I put the SD card in the IPAD SD card adaptor. Up load the pics to the IPAD, clear the SD card and put it back in the camera. Once I am done I upload the pictures to iCloud so that my hunting buddies can see the latest run and delete them from the IPAD. No more mixing up cards and I only have to have one card per camera and I can view the pictures as soon as I pull them if I want.

    Just thought I would share as this has simplified things for me this year. Hopefully this helps someone.

    Nice. I use my iPhone to view pics, but I still like to swap cards, just so I can get out of there as quickly as possible.

    What card reader do you guys have for your Apple devices? I see a lot of mixed reviews on the card readers on Amazon.

    I have been using micro sd cards and putting them in my Samsung Galaxy but I have an iPad and would like to use it.

    I have been using this one.


    Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader - Apple Store (U.S.)

    For 30 pin connectors they have these:

    Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit | eBay

    From what I have been told they only work on the IPAD not the iPhone unless you jail break it.

    I use an AirStash. I have the original, but will upgrade to the 2.0 when my battery dies.

    AirStash®: wireless flash drive + pocket media server + SD adapter for iPad, iPhone, Kindle Fire, and more

    http://www.amazon.com/AirStash®-A02...UTF8&qid=1407543303&sr=8-1&keywords=air+stash

    Mine looks like the one on the left. 2.0 on the right.

    I switch out cards then go through them on my Mac book pro creating folders on my desk top then uploading to photobucket.

    I've got about a doz cameras and the pics range from 800-4000 images per card. Hogs mostly.

    I'll use the airstash to flip through them on stand sometimes to see what came in the last few days.

    I use an Asus transformer tablet - it already has an SD card slot.
    I also have an ipad but whenever I hit the woods I take that Asus.
