It is a Vexilar FishPhone... Underwater camera that uses an iOS or Android device as the screen. It can serve the camera video to as many screens as you want via wifi (100ft radius). Records stills and video right to my iphone library so real easy to share. I can even control the lights right from my phone...lol.

Check it out...

Playing around above water looks like at most a 10th of a second lag even with tons of motion. That is to an iPad w/retina screen. My iphone has slightly less. I can't see it affecting fishing much if at all.

Anyone with an iOS or Android device just search your App Store for
"Fishphone" one word and grab the app. I will be fishin' off RR23 @ the North end of Sylvan tomorrow (grey Kia Sportage w/a Black Frabill one man flip).
Drop by and check out the video on your device!

Is the flood water at the lake access area frozen or still a concern ?

Were off to the Legion for some Moose Milk ... perhaps we'll see you at 7:00 tonight for the fireworks at the pier.

Flood water is not an issue.

I might make that not sure yet?

How is the camera working. I have a gopro 3 with wifi in the camera. It does not work under the ice.

I am following this thread with keen interest. The video makes it look like a fantastic product. I haven't checked the mfr's website yet for specs on the camera itself, but what is your impression so far? Good clarity etc?
