Best device for checking camera cards in the field

[Mudslinger]

But what if you move cam 1 to stand 6? Then you have to rename the cam and the card
It's a lot to keep up with.

Nope, just have a game cam for each stand location!

And every water hole, food plot and scrape
Gotta keep some extras on standby too because there's always something wrong with one of them.

I just swap cards at the camera first. I keep an older digital camera that I high speed flip through pics and use protect mode to keep anything that looks somewhat interesting. I do this flipping on site in case any adjustments need to be made. Then "clear all" clears everything but the protected pics. Then I have a greatly reduced number of pics to scroll through on laptop for close study. I have used this method for 200,000+ pics per hunting season for the last 10+ years.

Microsoft Surface.

This is what I’ve found works best

I like my Bone View it works great

I bought a reader made by stealth cam. It plugs into your phone via the charging port and the sd card fits inside. You can view the pictures from your phone and then save them directly to your phone.

Thats what I do. Very pleased with it.

Swap the cards with clean ones, go back to camp and drink some beer while viewing on the laptop. You had it right to start with!

To me this is the easiest thing to do. If it is during the deer season then I will take my smaller laptop with me to look at pics while I am in the stand.

Can you post a link to the exact stealthcam reader your use? There are several. I need one for iPad.

I just use my iPhone. Dont know if its compatible with the iPad. I found mine at Walmart for about $19, but if you dont mind the wait, this one is cheaper. The reviews arent good on eBay, but I have had really good luck with it.

Not to mention getting et up by skeeters, in the bottoms I hunt.

Yes! Plus you would be loitering in the deer rich hotspot looking at the peekturs when Brutus shows up and you are busted!

^this. Cheap and easy

I carry a hard sided SD Card carrying case. It holds 12 SD cards. Got it on Amazon for like $12. I can hold 6 cameras worth of cards in it (2 cards per camera.) Each side of the case is 2 columns by 3 rows. I have a system. All the blank cards are on the left. I pull the card, put in on the right hand column and place the new one in the camera. If I want to look at the pictures, I will either use my phone or my android tablet with the ES Filesystem viewer that lets me scroll through the pictures or look at thumbnails.

When I get back home, I'll upload each SD card's pictures into their own folder and place it back into the left hand position for the next time out.

Having 2 cards for every camera is just too cheap these days to not do it... and it is a big time saver in the field. I used to have to sit in the truck and download them, reformat, etc, etc... now I just walk up to the camera with my case in my pocket, swap cards and am out of there quickly.

Bingo!

I have 4 cameras...1-4, 2 cards for each camera, cards are labeled 1-4. Regardless where you put the camera, just use the 2 cards for each assigned camera. Very easy, quick, takes 4 seconds to swap card and Im outta there, minimal pressure and disturbance.

Ordered one. Found it for $15, not to much try it out. Just hope I don’t have to import ALL pics before viewing like I had to on old iPad.
