How fast can I troll with my underwater camera?

The answer to this question depends on depth and the length of cable you have out, which determines water resistance. Deeper waters and longer cable lengths mean more drag, or water resistance. Increased cable length and resulting drag require slower travel for good viewing. Generally, for optimal viewing we recommend moving at less than two miles per hour. Remember, the slower you go the more detail you will see. Also, when trolling forward use special caution to avoid getting camera and cable caught in a boat's propeller, rudder, or underside rigging.

How do I steer the underwater camera?

For viewing in the direction of travel, use the Front Viewing Fin. With the Front Viewing Fin attached to the back of the camera, slowly troll (less than 2 mph) or drift along the structure you intend to observe. Thanks to the Fin, your camera will face the direction of the boat's travel. The opposite holds true when using the Back Viewing Fin accessory. With the Back Viewing Fin, you will be looking "backwards," or in the opposite direction of the boats travel.

Can I use my Aqua-Vu in saltwater?

Yes. All Aqua-Vu cameras are saltwater-rated. They are constructed with stainless steel hardware and materials that are impervious to corrosion.

Can I hook my Aqua-Vu up to a larger monitor or hand-held recorder?

Yes. Your Aqua-Vu can be hooked up to a larger external TV, provided it has a "video-in" jack. The same holds true for a hand-held video recorder. Because of its compatibility with television and video recorders, Aqua-Vu is ideal for use in a winter fish house or large boat with a built-in video system.

Can I get a longer cable than what is currently offered?

The longest cable available is 100-Feet. Cables cannot be spliced.

How far can I see?

Naturally, the clearer the water the farther you can see. As a general rule the camera will "see" two times farther than the human eye in water. If you can see 3 feet down you will be able to see approximately 6 feet with the camera. This is a general rule and all bodies of water will vary. For anglers, two feet of visibility is sufficient for studying bottom structure with an underwater camera.

Will my Aqua-Vu work in subfreezing conditions?

Aqua-Vu systems are designed to operate at temperatures from -40 to 120 F. Expect your battery life to decrease in cold conditions.

What is the camera's angle of view?

Your camera lens has a viewing angle of 92 degrees. At 4-1/2 feet in front of the camera you will view an image approximately 6 feet wide.

Can I splice the camera cable to obtain more length?

No. Attempting to splice in additional cable violates the waterproof integrity of the camera and cable, voiding the warranty.

What is the resolution of my monitor screen?

Your screen has 420-line resolution for crystal-clear viewing.

Is Aqua-Vu Legal?

To our knowledge there are no restrictions anywhere that regulate the use of Aqua-Vu underwater viewing systems. Aqua-Vu is an approved pre-fishing tool for B.A.S.S. tournaments, In-Fisherman PWT events, and other professional tournament circuits across the country.

What is the difference between Infrared and Spectral Response lighting?

Infrared is a non-visible light and is meant for dawn/dusk/deeper water. Spectral Response is much more intense and a better choice for anglers that will use their camera after dark, along with dawn/dusk/deep water.
