Title: AquaVeiw,need help
Post by: crappieman6 on Dec 17, 2003, 04:57 PM

I want to record what my underwater camera see's, I have found out a digital can not do it, so is a camcorder the only way? and everyone says the still pictures from a camcorder suck. thanks in advance for any help someone may have

What a surprise to see Aquaveiw getting there act together, I wonder how much that bugger recorder might cost...

I've always just plugged the jacks from my camcorder into the aqua vu and taped some stuff from the depths that is unreal....make sure you warm up the camcorder first, or the first minute or so will be rather 'scratchy' footage.

Never tried, not sure how to do it...if someone can help me out, then I'll post some for sure...I have an 8mm camcorder...I believe DR. BLUEGILL used to post actual video on here...I'd do it if I knew how to download it to my PC....clueless!

The camcorder works well. To get the kid of footage that I have posted on my website, I have taken hours of video in a single day... I've recorded over 3 hours in a day just to find some useable clips. I'd be curious to hear the details of Aqua-Vu's soon to be released recording system. I would think it would use some kind of flash memory similar to what the digital cameras are using these days. If that's the case, we may be limited on how much we can record over a full day on the water. Always looking for the latest and greatest, bigger and better ;)
