Aqua Vu's etc

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

I am thinking about getting an ice fishing camera this year-one of the aqua vu's or similar camera's to add to the ice fishing collection.

 

I was at BPS recently, and I was thinking either the AV 715 c or one of the AV micros. Any feedback would be appreciated. The 715 seems kinda heavy and the micro maybe less durable? What are the better camera's these days?

 

Probably will buy from BPS, have a gift card to contribute, Santa was good to me this year!

 

Thanks,

The price they want for the one with 100' of cable is nuts. If I was to buy one I would go this route instead. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Eyoyo-30M-7-Monitor-Infrared-Fish-Finder-Underwater-Recorder-DVR-Camera-Battery-/141859774826?hash=item210780616a:g:VN8AAOSwk1JWePpk

At least you can get all the way down to where the whities hide.

I just like to watch the vids guys make from these toys.

A few years back I bought one of the knock off systems, I found on Ebay. I was pretty impressed with it, in the shallow (10-15') waters of Long Point Bay. Went to lake Simcoe and ran it down to about 50'; it lasted about 10 minutes and the screen went dark. Brought the camera in to find it full of water and all the circuitry shorted out.

I couldn't have lost that $200.00 any faster at the casino.

disposable income = underwater camera

 

I have (had) 2!

 

They're fun in the right circumstances and it usually involves a hut, kids and crystal clear water is a must

 

To be honest the only time I found it useful was shallow water perch fishing on Simcoe and I use my Aquavu Micro now on a 15' golf ball retriever to walk trout stream and check out what are the best undercuts and runs

 

Saw one of the 4.3" $100 ebay models running last ice season. no difference to the micro I have except it seemed a little lite on the powerpack through the day
