I don't know how many of you have had the opportunity to use one of the available underwater
video cameras yet...........I would suggest you get one. They are a fishermens vitual toy and you
can spend most of your trip just watching the the screen and the fishing becomes secondary.
Myself I take a lot of photos with my Canon Rebel XTi and and this becomes a real
challenge to get good pictures of how Bluegills really bite and survive in this underwater
world.

I previously had another make camera of which you have seen a lot pictures of gills in action
on this site when I get out ice fishing. The only problem with that TV camera was it did not
have an on/off switch for the lights and also didn't have a dimmer control. This creates a
problem when all of bio life down there lights up like little neon signs and tends to obliderate
most of the detail.

Last year I decided to upgrade to an Aqua-Vu Sport which is an underwater camera with some
light controls on it. I didn't get out too much last year and the few times I did get out
the fish were a little scarce in the camera so I didn't catch many of them in action.
The TV camera worked great with a great picture. Well a couple of weeks ago I decided to take it
with me to do some deep water fishing for gills. It worked great in 35 ft of water and the
lake I was fishing had great clarity and you could see in good detail all of the weeds and
rocks on the bottom. You did have to keep the screen side curtains up and away from the sunlight
and bend down a littleto get closer to the screen in order to see a decent picture.
  I didn't get any pics that day with the camera because of these conditions.

The following day I and the wife deciced to go fishing and it was very dark and cloudy out
and I thought today's the day to get some good pictures with the camera. Well I put the
camera down right where we had a good school of gills laying in 32 ft. of water
suspended from 20-30 ft down. The pictures were great and just as I was setting up the
camera for pictures the screen started to roll all over the place. I couldn't
get it to stop rolling and thought maybe it was the battery and shut it off.
I charged the battery and the vertical roll was still there. I contacted
Nature Vision by Email and they responded the same day. After a few Emails back and forth I
found out that they didn't have any record of my purchase in their files. I can't remember if
I sent it in or not... All I know is there is not a warranty card in the box of which I still have.
It looks like I will have to pay the shipping and repair charges if I want it fixed.

LATEST UPDATE
I recieved a Email from Nature Vision this morning that they will make an
exception for the warranty and send me a new replacement monitor. I will be
sending them the defective monitor in return.  RECIEVED 09-21-07
New Monitor Recieved from Nature Visions Inc.
If you decide to buy a Aqua-Vu, send in the card and make sure they
acknowledge that they recieved it.
