I've got an old laptop that I can lug thru the woods and hook into the camera thru the usb port, but that would be a huge hassle. Or I could pull the card out of the camera, bring it home and view on my desktop. I'd rather find a way to view the pics without pulling the camera or the card.

I've got a digital camera, but its kinda old and won't read the newer style card in the game camera. Is there any sort of adapter that I could use to run from the usb port of the game camera to the usb port of my Droid Incredible? That would sure be the easiest solution if I could find a cable like that. The port on the phone is a different style than the one on the game camera, so I got no idea if such a cable or adapter exists. The card in the game camera is the SD/Mini style; looks like there ought to be some way to view that card on my phone.

Thanks for any help.


If the game camera and the Droid use the same type card SD/Mini you should be able to put the card in the Droid and view the pictures unless the cameras have a particular proprietary file type, I believe cuddebacks have that type file that can only be read by their program.

I would have plotwatchers or primos brand plotwatcher type cameras if you did not have to download their "program" to view the "movie" because I don't want to have to take the card 2 hours back home or buy and lug a laptop to the woods to see if that location should be hunted that day. Unuser friendly is never a good strategy.
