Aqua View Pro

[stpauliguy]

What info does anyone have on one of these am possibly looking to get a used one believe it is 2 years old. But the one thing I dont like about it is that the lens points down. Have not used them much but would expect that a horizontal view would be better??? Also sounds like its hard to see in the sunlight even with the soft sided sun visor over?? Just looking for some advice from possibly anyone whos used one or has one. thanks good luck fishing!!

I have one and would rather have a Scout. There are things you can do to make it convert either way. I tried wrapping the cord around the tail of the Crappie camera to get the side view when I wanted it, but the results were tilted. I ended up buying the down viewer fin from Nature Vision and made the holes on the tail fin a little wider to make the screws fit. I now have both options, but it's modified.

My suggestion would be to go with the Scout from the start. I found the downview to be worthless most of the time.

I bought two ICE PRO Aqua views from the nature vision web site. One for me one for my brother. I really screwed up and bought a side view camera for it. My brother was smart and just bought the front view fin from aqua view, and put it on his camera to side view with it. Only cost about $6 for the fin. The fin doesn't fit around the tail of the crappie camera so he just put the fin on one side of the tail drilled one small hole so the screw holes on the front view fin would work and presto works just like when you use it on the side view cam to do down viewing (only oppsite since you start with a down view camera). Wish I would have did it, the side view cam I bought was $100 from nature vision. We both used them thursday out on the Ice, both worked just fine, and it is nice to have the 7in screen. The sun shade works just fine, just have to make sure that you sit with the back of the aqua view towards the sun. Had a Scout camera last year and took it back, I didn't like the 5in screen to small for me. Also with the Ice Pro the spool allows for a larger battery than the scout did, so I don't need to carry two batteries anymore. Also I like the rectangle spool that the Ice pro has isn't has tipsy has the small square spool on the scout. I'd say if you can buy it right go for it. These are just my opinions thought sure others won't agree, but to each is there own. Hope you catch some fish. (I agree with you on down viewing. It sucks. All we ever do is the side view)
