How do you guys view your trail cams out in the field? I currently bring my laptop and check them at the truck but I'm wanting something more convenient. I'd like to check the card at the camera and see if I need to reposition the camera in any way before I leave. I've seen sd card viewers but I've also seen a device you can hook up to your iPhone if you have one (which I do). Has anyone tried that?
I use a $10 card reader for my android phone, got it on ebay last season, works well enuf and fits in my pocket, like this one.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-O...629?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item463e5d3d35 Iphone: http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-i-Flash...5-5S-6-iPad-/121718147840?hash=item1c56f78b00 I also saw some Ingenious hunter has added a horn decal, called it a Bone View, and doubled the price
I never check mine in the field. If there's a problem with the aim, I just correct it when I come back. Half the tie I have coons crawling all over them and twisting them around anyway, it's hard to strap one down tight enough that a 25# coon doesn't twist it sideways while using it as a handhold.
I have a pack for my laptop. I upload at the tree and put the same card back in. I don't really check the pictures, but I can tell pretty quick if something is wrong and correct it then.
I used to use an airstash, but I put it through the washer. Oops. I've been using my dslr until I get a new one.
I also use a card reader I picked up for about $10.00 for my android. Just copy them to my phone, look through them, then go through them again on my laptop at home. Works great imo.
i use tablet...7" display...has sim card and you can send picture from field to someone if you want, and easy to carry
