Rich Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 Has anybody used it? Looks awesome! A cell sized aqua-vu! Very much want to order one but hoped to get some real life reviews before dropping $400.
BillM Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 Ouch, $400 for something that probably costs $25, lol.
Lunker777 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 seems like alot of $$$ to watch a cell phone sized screen....
Fisherman Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 I've read a few comments on other sites, the most mentioned is it only has a 50' cable which limits your depth. Second is the lack of a power port to provide backup power when the battery depletes. Battery is supposed to be good for about 6 hours. Other than that, most seem to like the clarity and small size for portability. I almost bought one at the x-mas sale at Tromblys, but like usual, wrong item and wrong price.
Tdel Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) Cabela's.ca has Aqua-Vu Micro priced at $319.99 Haven't used it so can't give any kind of review to help you. This one isn't the + version. Edited January 16, 2013 by Overcast

buick14 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 Im a little sketched out with "aqua vu" seeing as it seems like ownership has bounced around a few times lately, so I dont know of the long term quality on these puppies
Rich Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Posted January 16, 2013 It'd be nice if they sold the camera / cable on its own and teamed it with a smartphone app. THAT would be ultimate.

The + version does have AC input, AND video output for recording or transferring to a larger screen (tablet etc). The 50' cable will be 30' too much for almost all my fishing trips, so that doesnt bother me.
