WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF CABELA’S SO PRO MEMORY CARDS.
Cabela’s SD Pro Memory Cards are manufactured with high-quality performance
parts for optimal photo and video storage in scouting cameras/recorders,
digital cameras, and more. These cards are fast and durable for extensive
shooting in the most extreme outdoor conditions. Secure Digital High Capacity
(SDHC) PRD Cards work with Cabela’s game-trail cameras (SDHC refers to 4GB-
32GB). Never erase your SD card from any device other than your Cabela’s game-
trail camera. Any time you erase a card or take a picture on a card, you are
formatting it. If you erase your card in the computer, another digital camera,
or any other device, you will format your card to that device and your
Cabela’s camera may no longer be able to recognize it and read it properly.
