One of the best ice fishing camera reviews on youtube.... awesome video. Ive been debating for a year on which camera to buy.... I think I'll have to go with this one !
Honestly I wasn’t looking to buy anything absolutely amazing with hd. I just picked this thing up and honestly I think it will get her done. Nice video too!
You're right about the fragile container that the tripod came in. I took a 14" length of 4" white sewer pipe/PVC (without drainage holes) and two end caps to make a carrying case. I lined the inside with a couple wraps of aluminum bubble foil insulation and some packing foam in the end caps. Overkill? Just didn't want to start a day ice fishing with only two legs on the ice pod! Next project......? Something that involves almost 9 feet of the 4" PVC pipe!!! Enjoy.
Nice review. I just got one yesterday at cabelas in Barrie. Can’t wait to get out this year and be able to see what the marks on the flasher actually are.
Aqua view are more robust than Marcum. On the Marcum camera, where the cable enters the camera, cable is prone to failure. Not repairable. Replacement is $$$. Almost as much as the whole unit. FYI
i just picked this unit up as a combo deal . the pod, camera, and an extra 25' of cable. how have you enjoyed the unit after having it for a while? did you ever figure out the battery indicator light on the screen?
For people who have used this may or may not have complaints about the battery indicator..the manual says to charge the battery for about 10 hours..I do it and turn it on and it reads 2 bars right away..so I swapped the battery with a new one fully charged and it does the same thing. Perhaps its a malfunction issue with the camera but overall very nice system
Neil Mohammed I got one two days ago and after a full day of charging, it bounces back between one and two bars. Managed to run the camera for 10 hrs with no issues. Only problem I had was picture clarity. Couldn’t see past 4ft in front of the camera on Mille lacs lake which is quite clear.
How deep were you? I wanna get camera but not sure what one. This one for 299 or marcum quest hd for 599. Can't see spending the extra 300 if this is a good camera. How is it in dirty water
Hell of a review. I think I will get myself one. Also have you tried it outside and not from the cover of a tent?. And if so were you able to still see the picture?.
No. Haven't really tried. I've simply just placed a camera on a small tripod to record some action. Works well enough but I may look more into it in the future.
