Starting my quest for an under-ice camera

[Rumtan]

Any suggestions or know of any good deals out there? Because I have only viewed a friends cam, I would like a few opinions of what others use and what works well. Also what do I need to power one?

Thanks in advance for your help

I ordered an aquaview 700 from WSS it was on sale for 140 bucks off, and I liked the features, the compass onscreen will be a big help so I dont miss out on another big fish because I didnt know which hook I was looking at . Even a 5 inch screen is ok, I used one last winter, but I do have to admit Im looking forward to the bigger monitor.

Thanks Wayne.....I was beginning to think no one used a camera on this site. WSS sounds like a good starting point for one.

You might want to check out the new aquavu micro on there site. WSS does not have them in the N side store ED. and just heard of them from me when I went there on Sat. LOL. Thought they were going to try harder to win customers back.

We just bought the marcum 380. Mostly due to the marcum reputation and where it fit budget wise.

I like my Marcum 380. Sure wish it recorded though. The picture sure is nice and clear.

There is a video out on the 380 but my handi cam does not have a video in doh!

I do like the two camera optiion as well, just need to figure out where to get said camera. hopefully one with 100' of cable for those days on spray.

Thanks everyone for your help on this.....I ended up getting one heck of a deal on a Aqua-Vu 700 brand new in the box ....... I probably would have gone for the marcum if they would have had one, but now im set.

Was your camera bought at a store and if so where at?

Marcum 625. New style best type camera on market. Can see 10x better, further, clearer than a fishtv.

I went online to find a deal, but the best deal I could find was from a repair shop in Edmonton.....guess it pays to shop around
