Wild Game Innovations VU50 Trail Pad Handheld Card Viewer

Wild Game Innovations VU50 Trail Pad Handheld Card Viewer is a no hassle snapshot viewer.  It’s as simple as removing the SD card from your trail camera, inserting it into the Trail Pad and scrolling through the photos taken while you were away.  Since it’s hunting season in New Jersey, I’m looking over a few ways to view hunting camera photos.  I recently took a closer look at the BoneView Trail and Game Camera Viewer for Smartphones.  That’s a great device for use with your smartphone.  The Trail Pad doesn’t require a smartphone and means no more need for your laptop … Read more
