New underwater camera retrieves stuff from bottom!

[Ice_Ice_Baby]

Guys,

Look at this deal I just found on Aqua Vu’s facebook page. It’s a camera that picks stuff up from the bottom of the lake! Not cheap but super cool.

[LMITOUT]

There was sure a lot of stuff around that dock!

[reinhard1]

always someone who has a great idea to help others out. i drifted accross a bay one time on rush and you would be amazed at all the cans, bottles and junk on the bottom. if i had the extra money i would get me one of those. good luck.

Wish they showed the view from the claw cam instead of one off to the side from another cam. Pretty cool though.

I'm not sure I like the idea that you're lifting whatever it is you grab with the cord of the camera.

I'd rather see a rope or something along side it that does the brunt of the lifting.

[Chad Peterson]

That is cool stuff. I bet you could a ton of stuff like that in the lakes.

I'd rather see a rope or something along side it that does the brunt of the lifting.

AquaVu has a stainless steel braided cable molded inside the cord on all of its underwater cameras to take the weight. A rope would just make a tangled mess with the cord.

Does anyone know how much they are?

[hovermn]

It was only a matter of time. Great idea!

[itchmesir]

so is this for the sad folks that after buying their AquaView they still cant catch fish so they can just grab them out of the water like a claw machine at your local Perkins?

[PurpleFloyd]

Wow.

maybe the DNR can adapt that as a way to get rid of the Zebra Mussels.

[Ice_Ice_Baby]

They do have lots of junk under that dock, dang kids. Impressive how it picks up that big rock. Facebook page says $799.99. Might have to rent one if needed I guess.

I like the music.

[walleye44]

Thats looks cool. Could have used this one a bunch of times for sure..

[Wish-I-Were-Fishn]

Might open up a whole new sport. Like treasure hunting under water.

[Ice_Ice_Baby]

I like the new sport idea, it could take Geocaching to a whole new level like 40-feet down on the lake bottom.

People who sell used golf balls will be all over this.. same with people who go swimming for lost frisbee golf discs

[BronzeBrother]

That is really cool... Agree with the comment to see the actual view on the grabber. Ya the golf ball retrievers will be all over this bad boy.

Almost makes you want to start a business for retrieving car keys and other valuables things for folks stuck on the water.

Awesome garbage picker upper as Reinhard1 said. There have been countless times while fishing bass that I have seen garbage that I tried snagging or using the net to get out of the lake. Plus those bonus tackleboxes, lures and sometimes fishing rods would be an easy grab with this baby...

[LightningBG]

I carry a big magnet on a rope with me for the day when the keys go splash. Doesn't work for everything, but will do the trick with some items.

[LightningBG]

Ah, the power of editing. They were probably out there all day trying to pick up the 7 items.

Maybe they should make a really big one for all of these guys that cant seem to hold onto their anchors. Then they can sell them back their Richter anchors.

Losing an anchor is littering.

[Ice_Ice_Baby]

Or it could actually work, looks pretty cold in the video to be out there all day. The big resorts should all have one of these things on hand to rent out.

[shnelson]

I think this would sell incredibly well if it'd fit down an 8" ice hole, looks like the basket might be a little too big though.

Neat idea, but I bet one could fix up his own contraption of similar ability for a heck of a lot less...

[LakeoftheWoods]

they should have showed it picking up some keys or a cell phone.

[bobbymalone]

But can it go down an 8 inch ice hole? 10 inch?

I would like to see how easy it is to just grab it and pull it up if the bottom is rocky.

Great in theory for trash pick up, but it looks like it would probably take forever to clean up a decent amount of garbage.

Def a cool product though, one of those things that you don't ever need until you suddenly need it really bad. Agree with whoever above mentioned renting them. I can't come up with a need or 8 hundo that would make me ever buy one, but I would throw down 25 bucks to rent one for the afternoon if I needed it.

[Ice_Ice_Baby]

I just read on Facebook that the claw will fit down a 10 inch hole. I guess if necessary most anglers using 7 or 8 inch augers could just punch another hole making it big enough which is easy.

Hey “shnelson”, how’s it going building your own robotic camera claw retriever deal for a heck of a lot less or are you waiting for the robotic parts store to have a sale?
