Wanna get dad one along with some trail cams , think he'd firmly enjoy it since he always loved looking at my trail cam footage. Wanna get him one of those little I pad looking deals that you can pop the SD card in and view all your footage but never messed with them. I know the ones that plug into you phone usually never seem to want to work ( lat lest the five or so I've tried) so any recommendations?

Also takes a lot of time for pics to download onto it. Lightning reader like second pic has worked better for me just to quickly download pics onto iPhone or iPad then review pics later. They don’t seem to last more than 3-4 years for me but it’s quick, usually I end up leaning my card reader in my pocket and it gets washed which really shortens lifespan. LOL If he’s got a smartphone you might with a cell camera, prices have really come down in price.

I've wasted money on adaptors and card readers. Hard to see. Slow to load. Pain to delete pics using them. Small laptop is the only way to look at them. Buy a cheap one from Walmart /amazon. Or you hit the pawn shops, just pick one up there for hardly what viewers cost.
