For example, if you had one JPG file and one.MOV file, name them GOPR0001.JPG and GOPR0002.MOV. Incrementing numbers may not be required, but 'GOPR' + 4 numeric characters are.

Safely eject SD card from computer, plug Reader into the iOS device, place SD card into the Reader, and Photos app should open. If you're file naming is acceptable, Import will remain open and allow you to view/import the files. Import and you're done!

Note #1: Other common digital-camera file naming conventions will most likely work. Note #2: I've successfully imported several image filetypes:.jpg,.png,.raw.

And these video types:.mov,.m4v,.MP4. I am sure many more will work. Also, you can have a mix of filetypes on the SD card simultaneously, and the import will work.
