While my toes thaw out from plowing snow (I LOVE THIS TIME OF THE YEAR…seriously) thought it would be a good time to wrap up the camera phase on the talk on electronics. There are a few other small companies, but MarCum and Aqua Vu are the main two in the category.
MarCum offers several models in their “VS” series of cameras, ranging in price to meet the needs of the anglers looking to purchase. The VS-250 is the basic model, and what you see is what you get. You can downview by wrapping the cord around the back fin of the unit.
The VS-560 is a unique unit in the feature it provides. The camera actually rotates 360′ allowing the angler to pan around and see everything at once. You can set the speed at which it rotates or keep it one position. It reads out the water temp, the direction the camera is pointing, and lets you know how much juice is left in the battery.
The VS-825c is a unique unit that offers a LCD flat screen with a color monitor. There is also a version for a bit less that comes in black and white. If you have the same concern I had about LCD units in the winter, MarCum answers that question with a built in heater unit to keep things moving on the screen. There is also a unique lighting system with bright LED lights mounted above the camera to cut down on glare.
MarCum also offers a tool to lock the camera into position while protecting the hole from freezing up. This lid, has studs in the top to wrap the cord through, much like an anchor tie down on boats.
