Tricks with Underwater Camera


Jigging55

Recommended Posts

I agree with the Swede that the camera cords continue to swing and twist which is frustrating when you are trying to find your lure. I usually have to mess with the camera for quite some time losing quality fishing time. I use the aqua vu tripod to hold my camera at the correct depth. If I need to turn the camera a little it usually swings too far and then too far the other way... The more I look at them the Aqua Vu 4 way camera or the Marcum with the rotating camera looks more and more inviting... The only thing that is holding me back from buying one is the cost of the camera and the fact that I usually don't catch enough fish to justify the cost.

Just wish I could find an easy to fix answer to this problem.

Several people have suggested a tripod on here but I think it is getting confused with the tripod system that sits on top of the ice. There is a tripod that your camera mounts to and it holds it 1 foot off the bottom. I purchased one at the ice show this year and it is the solution to the spinning problem. I took a few minutes off of working the booth today to track it down at the St. Paul sports show. The product is called a "Steady Stand". You can find the guy at any of the shows in the Capras booth. He doesn't have a HSOforum but you can also call him and order one at 952.435.7702.

When using an Aqua Vu Mo-Pod, I found just tapping the switch turns the camera slightly and it doesn't wiggle much afterwards.

I guess that I have been too stubborn to purchase the Mo Pod because of the price but maybe that is what I should do to fix my scanning around problem. It probably moves more smoothly than what I can do by hand and my little tripod...

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • 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.
