    So got a Stealth Cam card reader for iOS, and it works like a charm for viewing/saving pics to my iPhone 6S... But I'm having trouble saving videos to my phone.
    With pics, you simply touch the "Save" icon and the file saves to my phone's photo section.
    With videos, there is no "Save" option that I can find. So I tap "Edit", then the arrow (forward icon), then save it to my phone.... The file will appear in the photo/video area of my phone, but when I tap the play icon, the spinning "load" indicator begins and never stops (therefor, it never actually plays). Also, if I try to post the video online, it tries to load but won't.
    Do I have a defective unit, or am I doing it wrong?

    Weird thing is that I CAN text the videos... I tested this theory by sending a couple to my girlfriend's phone, and she immediately sent them back to mine via text. They will then store and play in my pics section, but they turn out super "grainy".

    Things just got a little more weird. This is actually the original download from my card; the one that won't "play" on my phones pics section, or load to FB... but for some reason, it will load and play here.
    I don't get it...

    Have you tried other videos shot with you phone? Mine has this problem with videos I've actually shot with my phone, it will load but never play.

    Yeah. I've posted all kinds of videos shot with the phone, with no problems.
    I'm a sucker for sharpness in my pics & vids.. makes me wonder if the file is too large, being that I have the cam set to take the highest quality pics/video..? It's on the highest of 3 possible settings (I believe). Maybe I'll try turning it down to the mid-quality and see if that changes things.

    That may be the issue the pixel size would probably be that issue
