fishcam underwater camera from Menards

My son bought one on Black Friday also. I fished with him this weekend. It really worked good, nice picture. His infared at night worked great. I wish my ovs worked like it, only my camera will pan. It has a small 12 volt battery, not as large in size as a flasher battery, but my vexilar battery fits in the battery compartment, so you could buy a bigger sized battery. If I didn't already have a camera I would buy one!

Does anyone own one of these? How do you like it? and how long have you had it?

Not sure if it is the same brand as they had last year. But I talked my buddies wife into buying him one for X-Mas and with in about an hour of use in only about 8 feet of water. It filled with water and died! He brought it back and didn't try another. I hope they work better for those that buy them. They are fun to use, kids have a great time watching even if the fish aren't biting. Me Too! wink

I have one. It works great during the day, but the infrared light glares off of any little thing thats suspended in the water when used at night, It realy shortens the viewing range. I don't know if the $300 ones work any better at night, but for the money, it works great for day time use. It does come with a smaller rechargable battery, I have used it for three hours straight with the light on one night, so far so good. I would buy one again. Good luck!!!

My wife bought me on eon the black friday sale. i am pretty surprised how it work. You can see everything pretty good the IR for at night works pretty decent. The only thing is when fish are out of range you can only see thier eyes and they glow so it makes them all look like walleye's but it they probably all do that. The only other problem is they battery is kind of small so if you use it all dayyou better charge it up at night. But for $70 how can you really complain

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
