this product is very easy to use i have had no problems using this valuable SD card reader. The old reader i had was not very reliable because it would be to cold outside so it ill not turn on in the wild during the deer season in the snow.

VU60 is Junk

I do not normally write these, especially bad ones. But, I have different game cameras spaced over a 50 square mile area, both cellular and standard, thought this would be a good Christmas gift to ask for. My 1st time trying to look at 5 second videos "AVI" files I get a "Decode Error". I called the 800 number that is given on 90% of the questions asked on this site. They informed that this reader only works with their game cameras and using a Micro SD with an adapter will not work either. When I asked why that information was not on the box or on the company website, I was told that those were made overseas and they don't control what is put on the box, that's right she actually said that. Her suggestion was to go buy their game cameras, that is not going to happen. Was also told that I could send my suggestions to change the box.

Sometimes you get what you pay for but not always

It does a lot of things right but what gets me is the extremely noticeable sluggish processor. Fortunately, I bought this used for a fraction of the retail price. I can’t overlook the fact that it freezes up if you have more than around 100 stored pictures on your SD card. If it says anything, I sill use it sometimes but I would rather go w/o. The slow processor and lack of internal storage makes it feel cheap and not even close to being worth the hefty price tag. Maybe it wasn’t designed to be a computer but it should still be a stand out product with the potential of greatly enhancing a persons hunt. I’m still waiting for them to release a firmware update to fix the bugs if possible. Otherwise it’s gonna collect dust. Wild game makes great stuff but they missed the Mark with this one.

Haven’t been satisfied with this device

I have had this portable card reader for over one year and I haven’t been close to being happy and or satisfied with it. The quality of the pictures (has nothing to do with the camera) . In order to see 100% of the details in pictures I have to hook it up to my t.v. and quality isn’t that great on my newer flat screen, I hooked it up to a 2 year old (boob tube style tv) and the pictures were perfect. I eventually got rid of the old tv so I would have to take memory card and hav my pc read it, and pictures look good on pc. If I could do it over again I wouldn’t waste my money on on of these, (even though they are dirt cheap) and like the saying goes, “you get what you paid for l”! I can’t even use this reader if I wanted to now because it stopped recognizing any memory card that was properly formatted. This happened after a year and I honestly didn’t really use it that much. Better off staying away from this portable hand held card reader.

Better than Nothing

I've had it for a few years and it's a love/hate relationship.. Thank GOD for CELL CAMS!! But for the few Cams I have or my 13yo son uses, the trail pad is nice to have!!
For the Price you thought it would be WAY Better!! But it constantly Freezes or lags and sometimes it just cuts off on its own, and it used to only happen every now and again but now it's almost constant that it says Invalid Format or can't Read card!!!
But, when you do FINALLY get the dang thing to work, the pics and videos are very poor quality regardless of what SD cards you use!!

Delete All

I had trouble deleting all the pictures at once.
Turned the device over to IT (wife) and she figured it out in 5 minutes.
Directions aren't very good for delete all.
Good product once it's figured out.
