I have seen a number of those units on the ice and they work fine. I dont think they have any lights on the camera so you would need super clear water all the time. All the cameras being made now are very well made so it is word of mouth and personal prefferance. There is always going to be horror stories, but most are very good.

I watched a guy with the Aqua View on the ice last week and it was fantastic.
He claimed it has an infrared light and all I can say for sure is you could see perfect under the snow covered ice. Only problem was the screen is tough to see in bright light unless it is covered or inside the shanty.
Real nice unit and I was amazed at the fish we saw. The camera part is like a little pearch and I wonder what will happen when a big Pike or Musky decides to take a bite.

Make sure'n check out eBay.  Sometimes you can get burned, but if you do your research on the person you're buying from, most of the time it works out ok.  I've heard alot of good comments as far as the Atlantis' durability, but the viewing quality leaves something to be desired, & no lights kinda sux.  They are good units, though.

You can get a Aqua Vu Scout for under 200.00 at Cabala's your might save a few dollars else where but the quality and lights with 5 inch screen are nice. It may take a little more time to save up for but it's like tools you can buy a Quality or re buy it  again later. Of course I am a little bit influenced by the fact that I use a aqua vu scout and works good for me in and out of shack. Of course water clarity is aways a factor! Good Hunting and only problem with TV's is your watching them more and fishing less!!! 8) 8) 8)

Make sure you call before you go.  Everyone in the Twin Cities is out of them.  I know all the Gander Mountains in my district are.  They are very hard to come by.
