AquaVu

I was thinking on getting one of these. Any of you guys/gals have one
and can comment? Thanks!

Amen ! I worked at BPS for awhile, and we got the Aqua-Vue's returned
constantly, they leak ! We never got an Atlantis back the 8 months that I
worked there.

Take a serious look at the Atlantis instead.

I will second what Eric has posted wholeheartedly. Better system, camera,
carrying case (very, very good case) and monitor, 51/2 B&W or color".
If you look at the two you will see why.
The *only* down side to the Atlantis is it is not a waterproof monitor.
I think only the color unit can be hooked to a VCR too?
I have an Atlantis as well and am very satisfied with it for my third season
now.

Wrong on that last one, Steve. You can use the monitor RCA outs
to hook up a VCR or camcorder, using either to record the
Atlantis' camera output.

Amazing unit, as you said.

Well chop my legs off and call me shorty!
Eric, you mean on the B&W units? I'll try to find out what unit/model I
have (he said hopefully) and see if we have the same one!
I think it is the 552M or something like that? Mine has provisions for two
cameras on it. Tell me more, have you done it yet, special cable?

It depends on your water clarity and the setting you can select on the
monitor, not night vision but there is an enhanced vision called "day" or
"night" settings.
I would estimate a hundred feet or so +/- , my water is quite clear. The
deeper the less though. It's deceiving. Even at 90' you can see very well,
the plant life is very short and sparse.

It's the Green&White monitor with standard RCA jacks for output.

I haven't done it yet, but plan on it during the winter when they're
more lethargic. I'll post a few mpg conversions on my web site for
the group.
