MrCarp:

I would highly recommend the VS380 from Marcum. It has a 7-inch rugged black/white CRT monitor utilizing a Sony Super HAD CCD camera. The optics are top-notch and used in many surveillance and security applications. The softpack it comes in has an built-in sun-shield. It's a bit above your price range at $249.99, but the 7" screen along with the higher end optics are premium features.

Below is a link to a pic of the unit, so as not to increase your download time on dial-up.

i just found one on the popular auction site brand new for $58.00 + 20.00 s/h. this is the conclusion i came to.cabelas sells 2 cameras under there name but i think marcum makes them for them. i compared the auction camera to cabelas and i cant tell the differance except the the monitor may be a earlyer version and does not have a small sticker on it, i think it said vs350.this is the one cabelas is selling for $179.00. 7" monitor with 65'cable. these are brand new but dont include the battery, charger or carry bag but i have a extra battery and charger for my vex anyway. as far as the carry bag i dont need one since it will be kept in my wheel house anyway.in case you want to check it out#300183585196.these words are just my opinion so dont take them as fact.

Sounds to me like you should take a look at the Cabela's camaras. I do belive the 5.5 is a Marcom and for $119.00 I don't think you can beat it. The reason I would go with that 10 out of 10 times over an internet buy is customer service. If I have a problum I want to be able to take it somewhere and replace it. Just my 2 cents.

The camera Humpback was talking about looks like it could be a good deal. It makes me a little nervous, since no brand name or anything is mentioned. What makes you think it is the same as the Cabelas camera? Also, anybody have an idea for a carrying case for that?

EDIT: Nevermind what I said before. I just ordered the 7" camera from Cabelas. It's in the one shot deals section today for $119. That's the same price as their 5.5" screen that everyone seems to like, so I figured what the heck. By the time I bought a battery for that hsolist camera, and figured something out some type of carrying case, I probably wouldn't have saved much money.

go to the nature vision HSOforum (makers of aqua vu) I was just there tooling around yesterday and they had a clearance/markdown section. they had an aqua vu scout 50 for $149 I believe.

I just purchased a reconditioned unit from them off hsolist for $118 shipped from Brainerd. so far, I'm having issues with the battery (I think I got a bad one) but the unit works well.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
