Cuddeback Viewer ??'s
Hi everyone! We have just borrowed a Cuddeback digital and if you have one, we'd like to know what kind of portable tv do you use to view the photos in the field?
Cuddeback's website isn't very informative and we want to buy one this weekend.
I've seen the LeafRiver one, but wondered if you know of any others?
Thanks in advance!!

RE: Cuddeback Viewer ??'s
I don't know about Cuddebacks, but I know with my Moultrie 200 (that I just got today actually and have been testing it out) it comes with a Camera-to-TV cord. About five years ago I got a little portable AC/DC-powered 5" black and white TV, since it has a yellow RCA video-in plugin all I have to do is take the small TV with me as well as the cigarette power cord and I can plug the camera right into that.
The sad thing is, I paid like $35 for the new 5" TV. I bet the manufacturerers want at least twice that for a simple little "digital viewer" as they call it that does the same thing (and less) than my TV can do.
Unless you need some special type of device to view whatever is on your trail camera, if it comes with a simple yellow RCA (video-out) camera-to-TV cord, you should be able to view it on a small $35 or less TV. I don't know how much these "special trail camera picture viewer" things cost, but I'm willing to bet it's more than $35!

RE: Cuddeback Viewer ??'s
Thanks everyone! I actually took the Cuddeback to Best Buy this weekend and purchased a 2 1/2" portable color tv and it hooks up with the yellow video plug andrgo mentioned. The one I got was $85. Not sure if that was because it's color...
