Fish Phone

Just ordered my Fish Phone by vexilar, has anyone else used one? They were on back order so I won't get it for awhile. They were sold out every where so hopefully it works well.

Here's my review....

Short Quick review:
Pros: Inexpensive camera that added a lot of enjoyment to my day and saved my neck and back.  What was really cool was that when a fish came through the hole, I could point it out and everybody fishing with me could see the action for themselves.  Impossible to do if you are peering down a hole.  The batteries on the unit lasted all day ( 6hours) with juice left over and I was even more surprised to see my iPad with the brightness turned down lasted 6 hours and it was only down to 50% batteries.

Cons:  Terrible light gathering qualities.  It records in only 240P  The LED light seems worthless as a lighting mechanism in all but the clearest waters.  The LED light was useful though in getting the camera pointed in the right direction.  But its like driving in thick fog with high beams on for anything but the clearest of water.  Looks much better on the iPad or phone than the recording.

Having said all of that.  I have gotten my money's worth out of it already.  Mainly because I can keep the kids entertained while fishing.

Read Kardinals review on his web site.  He has a great and honest review of the camera.  I have one as well.  I would say many of the same things he said about camera.  I got it both for me and for kids to watch.  Resolution could be better but for the price I think it's a good value.

Thank you for the input, I should be getting mine at the end of the month. I was hoping to post some of the video but just watching my bait and what the fish are doing would make it worth it. I picked mine up for about 170.00 so that's pretty cheap for what it does as long as it works, I thought it would be a little better than the fish TV at sportsmans for about the same price.
