aquafang Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I heard aqua view is putting a camera out for only $200 this year. What are your thoghts of this camera. Is it a good buy. I've heard aqua view has had some problems in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain B.R.K Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I don't think you'll be disappointed with any Aqua-Vu camera. They put together a great product and if I'm correct, did real well with their AV Scout model that came out last year. This model was for $199 so I'm not sure what you heard about a newer model coming out for around that price point. I haven't heard anything but kudos for the AV Scout!

Deitz Dittrich Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I own a Aqua-Vu Mc2X($399.99) and I also own an Aqua-vu Scout(199.99).. and to be totally honest with you.. I use the scout more.. Its a great unit, larger screen, perfect for the ice angler!Unless you fish ultra stained water, I dont see how you would be disapointed in getting one!

Pete Riola Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Don't forget to look at Marcum....Marcum's new vs350 will set the mark for the units at $199.00. The 7-inch screen, 65 foot cord, Sony camera with solid low light viewing make the vs350 the choice in starter units. It's even got a dimmer on the face of the unit so it's easier to see in all light conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subzero Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Just picked up a Scout this weekend at Cabelas for 199.00. Can't wait to get it in the water and see what it will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I assume your Aqua-Vu Mc2X camera works better on LOTW then the Scouts Camera would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deitz Dittrich Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 actually to be honest... no it really doesnt.. The MC2X really only works better in clear water at night. In stained water at night, no camera is good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy airjer W Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I think for $200 bucks I might jump on the bandwagon. As long as everyone agrees not to tell my wife! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler D Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I bought one of the scouts last year, and I really liked it. Only draw back is it doesn't have night veiwing capabilities, or a thermometer on the camera. The fish camera is great, compared to my freinds unit that has the regular camera I see many many more fish, they seem to be spooked more easily by the regular one. I would highly recomend one for any serious ice angler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceseeker Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 If the Scout does not have night viewing capabilities what one does. I have thought of an Aqua View for quite sometime but have never bitten the bullet. But at $200.00 how can I not. It is REALLY something I need, OK want..

stubby1 Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 I bought my scout last winter and I take it with every time.Like others have said,in stained water it nor that great but in clear water its awesome.This camera does come with infra-red light so you can see in the dark.The first time I got my I used it in the house at night without a single light on and it worked great.No red,green or blue lights that light up.It has extra ports on the back so if you have the right cable you can hook up other cameras and it has the rca jacks on it too. Good luck sinking those lines. Stubby1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
