[Kodiak]

i almost have the slush fund built up and have had my eyes on the av micro camera?? any good findings,,,anyone integrated it or attached to their flashers with a ram mount or anything?

i was thinking of putting a ram ball on it and mounting it too my ice 55.

Search this forum for Aqua vu micro. There are several posts, good and bad, about the Micro. They have had their fair share of issues with a diode problem. By most accounts, those units should be out of the market by now, but I had this problem with a camera I bought just last week. I am going to try out the new camera they sent me and will post some feedback tomorrow night.

yeah, it seemed that post was flooded with diode issues i was inquiring on actually using the thing not reporting of problems...also integration or mounting it to anything.

It has a standard 1/4" coarse thread camera mount, so you can figure lots of ways to mount it. Ram, etc. My son was using it Sunday and I watched him struggle with holding the camera, managing the cord and fishing, etc. (he likes to watch and fish) I made him an arm mount that holds everything and he has both hands free to fish. I will post some pictures.

I also made a home made camera compass which works very well.

I used the Micro all prefishing during the NAIFC championship over the weekend. This unit is by far the best thing to come out this year for the ice. To have this camera this portable it is a must for the portable fisherman. Found all my cribs on Lake Thompson using it and identifying the best spot on those cribs!! It is a must have!!

Ingredients:

one old belt

two 1" x 1/4" hex bolts, nuts, washers

one Christmas ribbon spool

one plastic storage bin clear top

misc small hardware for door

The larger spool loads the cable much faster than the small one Aqua Vu supplies. I put a "door" on the spool so I can store the camera and accessories there. It also pinch-holds the cable when the camera is down in the lake.

Now my kid can fish while using the camera and I don't have to worry about it getting ker-plunked!

I plan on mounting mine on my "troller bucket". I currently have my showdown troller ram mounted on a Frabill sit n fish bucket so that its out in front of me while fishing. Im gonna re do it to add the camera. I also purchased today a Window mount for a spotting scope. It fits the tube in my trapper perfectly and removes from it in seconds. Ill get pics up when I get it done.

That's a slick setup fishinfools.

So other than the water in the camera issue how did it go on the ice???
