How to get files off your cell phone. NOT!!

I actually was looking for someway to get my 60,000 images off my cell phone instead of the other way around! This has been a problem for me for a long time.

Card reader for I-pads

This SD card reader works as expected. It plugs right into our i-pad, and reads SD cards from our trail cam and Nikon SLR. This reader never fails, and the SD cards always feed images and movies very well. This is actually our second reader, because I don’t want to ever be without it. Both work flawlessly! This card reader is highly recommended for i-pads and SD cards

Handy product!

Nice to have this handy product! Just carry it along with your DSLR camera, and when you snap pics you want to share, upload them immediately to your phone or someone (everyone) else's phone. Only takes a few seconds!

easy to carry and easy to use

I have the Sony RX100 and use it when I want something of a higher resolution instead of using my iPhone 8+. It has a 1" sensor so the dynamic range is also better. But when I am outside and don't have the PC to edit, I just upload a group of selected photos and use my photo apps on the iPhone to edit the photos and post to my social media. So that is ultra convenient.

Plug and play - worked perfectly with current generation iPad

I was looking for a quick and easy way to upload digital photos to an iPad for review and this product does the trick! The interface through the iPad is intuitive and provides an easy way to review photos on a larger high resolution display. kudos to Adorama! Placed the order on the website and the card reader was delivered very quickly. The price for the product was in line with Apple and retail stores (none of which are close to where I live). Very happy!

Perfect for My Need

I bought this because when I travel I wanted to be able to edit my photos using Affinity Photo on my iPad. The Apple Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader lets me do just that. All I have to do is take the SD card from my Nikon insert it into the card reader and then insert the card reader into the iPad. This automatically pops up the screen to select all or specific photos to import to the iPad. That is exactly what I needed to be able to do to get started in editing the photos on my iPad. Highly recommend.

Easy Way To Get DSLR photos onto your IPhone and IPad

There's no comparing a photo taken by a DSLR camera with a photo taken by a cell phone. But posting those DSLR photos online is nearly impossible without a computer. If only there was a way to upload those high quality photos straight to Facebook and Instagram...that's where this neat little gadget comes in! Just slide in your memory card and plug the lightning jack into your Iphone or IPad and all your photos will be available! It's extremely easy and handy and you won't be disappointed with the results. Now you can have your high quality pics on FB in an instant!
