Yep, crap.

Ended up exchanging my Micro for a real camera - their 760C. Tried 5 different camera heads including the original. All lasted maybe 5-6 trips at most. Some only 1 trip and that thin, pathetic camera cord or the camera head itself would wear out. That paper thin cord cannot handle our temps.

Too bad because I was getting really good on using for lakes like Gull to sight fish for whites from above. You could lower it down a few feet in 9 FOW and still sight fish for whites. Had some good trips too...but the camera is crap.

On the good side, Aqua View did send me 5 replacement cams and cords and eventually exchanged for the 760C at no cost. So that part was handled well. Got an AquaView hoody out of it too.

I`ve had the 760C now going on 3 years....not one issue...works perfect. Big cam and thick cord. Sucks for site fishing above...just to bulky but works for every other application.

715C has been a good camera for the money

I have this one with the 100 foot cable and I can see clear as day at 100 feet deep in mountain lakes. It wont work as well that deep on non mountain lakes though. Still works great though!
