Hate the cams I own. Looking to buy a few new ones

Any info on where to pick up some 8 gig class 10 cards at a good price w/o going online ?

Thanks

BestBuy and Walgreens are the places I check the most around here locally. They tend to always have a card on sale. I bought a SanDisk 64GB micro SD in November for $20 at Walgreens. Best Buy can be a little higher priced, but when a card is on sale, it can be 50-60% off. If I am looking for new cards, I tend to check Best Buy weekly as they add and remove sale items frequently. What will make you mad is, you go buy an SD card and think you have a screaming deal on it only to go back the next week and they have dropped the price again...:mad:

The Infinitive line that Walgreens sells are the SD cards we have trouble getting to work in any trail cam we have used them in.
 
Best Buy and Walmart have them at reasonable prices but it’s hard to beat Amazon.

The reason I didn't mention Amazon is, he wanted a good price without going online.

Amazon is the place to get just about anything at a good price, but it is going to put the local "mom and pop" out of business. People won't realize how much they need shops like this until they are gone. We had a very good camera shop here that was locally owned and had years of knowledge in the employees, but the internet ended up closing them down because they couldn't compete with the prices. I shop locally and will pay a higher price if I can find what I am looking for. If the internet item is $25, I'll pay $35 locally just to support a local company and not have to order off the web. The internet is my last resort when it comes to buying things I need or want. We have an Amazon Fulfillment Center where I live and an Amazon warehouse about 10 miles from here and I have friends that work at both, but it is the last resort for me. Call me old school.

P.S. I don't shop at Wal Mart if I don't have to either and we have 4 Super Centers and 2 neighborhood Markets in a town with a population of 125,000.

Sorry for side tracking here.
 
I ended up caving in and ordered 5 of the 8 gig class 10 SanDisc SD cards from amazon. $6 each, free shipping.

I also wanted a device to hold the cards. I saw one that caught my eye for about $18. I decided I would make my own as it's simply a rigid plastic box with foam on the inside. The foam has slots cut into it that the cards slide into. Simple enough.

My hand crafted SD card holder.

$4 for the waterproof container, foam was free.

Hopefully there won't be an issue with static electricity.

I have absolutely loved the browning cams I have been using. (2016 Dark Ops elite, and 2017 Dark Ops HD)
The redesign they did late 2017 appears to be awesome. They have been highly reviewed, and I can’t wait to try them out.

Here are some of my favorite pictures from my brownings.

The picture of the flock of crows ( why is it called a murder instead of a flock ?) is incredible. It is a great example of the quality of picture that camera takes. No blur at all.

Those are some very usable pictures your Brownings took Ikeman TX. And the bird picture is awesome. It's incredible how sharp the birds are up close And the depth of field of the picture at the same time. To get so much out of a not expensive camera model is very exciting.

And Rusty, I like the card holder; after seeing yours, I'm thinking of something along those lines as well. Managing which cards come from and go to which camera is not possible with the system of 1 Ziploc bag for leaving off cards and 1 Ziploc for picking up cards. Thinking of using one of the large Flambeau plastic lure boxes with all of the optional compartments. Cards could be visually numbered as well as cameras so each camera would use it's own two cards consistently.
 
This SD card holder from Pelican is a great product. It’s waterproof and fits in your back pocket. I’ve had this one for 10 years but you can buy them on Amazon for ~$15. The non name brand similar cases are less than $10.

Never thought about a SD card holder before. So what's wrong with my method of losing them out of my pants pocket, and having to retrace my steps to find the blame thing?

That’s one way to do it! I can’t remember how I stumbled onto my Pelican SD card holder years ago but glad I did. We have unexpected down pours in Hawaii and my card holder has saved me big bucks! Also a great way to stay organized if you run several cameras.

I don't think rain would hurt them, I've washed about a dozen and they still work fine.
 
One final shout out to the brownings. They take great looking videos. Here is one where I strung together 6 consecutive 10 second clips of a buck I call “Jr”. The detail is very crisp, and video makes it very easy to catch small details I may have otherwise missed.

I did slow down the video speed about half way through in editing to make it easier to see some antler characteristics. That wasn’t a camera malfunction.

You are ok Lakn. I've got the card holder that Weekender showed but I still can drop the card into the leaves when removing it and watch the ground swallow them up. How can they dissappear I don't know.
