Sorry if this has been posted here already, a search showed nothing.

 

So is this a one trick pony or will it provide useful data and fishing porn ? Looks big so maybe on monster pike and musky ? Guess they're targeting the offshore marlin/tuna etc crowd.

Looks similar to a Waterwolf camera, seen some good footage of downrigger fishing for lakers off Grimsby. The only bad thing is no live feed, don't know what you got on film till you pull the card and view it.

I would be nervous about attaching an expensive camera to my fishing line.

 

I guess you could attach it to some heavey line and run a light leader so that you will still have the camera if lose your lure.

You can build a housing pretty easily for a GoPro or SJCAM style camera (and possibly others) with some ABS or PVC pieces and a weight of some kind. I am strongly considering doing it myself, just in case I get some cool footage.

 

Here's an example of how to build it:

 

 

Live feeds don't really work too well when the signal has to be sent through water, not to mention if your line and cam is far out, so I wouldn't really worry too much about that.

 

I have an SJ4000 Wifi (genuine, not the cheaper clones) that I got from Amazon for about $115, and I'm really quite happy with it, considering the alternatives. Compatible with GoPro mounts, too. I've only really used it at the beach and on my ATC so far, but it's been great. Hopefully I'll get some footage while fishing sometime to enhance a decent report, we'll see.
