Marcum vs AquaVu
« on: Oct 02, 2019, 08:20 PM »
Already looking forward for ice season and wanting a camera for this season’s adventures.

Does anyone have any personal experience on the Marcum or AquaVu models?

I had the Aqua vu micro for a couple of seasons. I found it most useful to find weed lines than see fish, but that's just me

I use the AquaVu micro. Here is my setup although I have replaced the green base w a smaller base to take up less space.  I use 3 holes in hut. Flasher & camera in middle hole & rods in outer holes. I can swivel the camera to watch my baits.

Thanks guys - I appreciate it. I posted this question on another forum and received similar feedback on the Aqua Vu models.

Sweet set up by the way!

Do you have any footage from your AV micro?

Recon 5+ user here. It's good for finding weed lines as others mentioned but that's about it. Occasionally the light panfish bite looking down but I've only done that once. Compass has never worked no matter how many times I've tried resetting it. Also depth is usually off...considerably. But for what I use it for, I don't care.

Curious if anyone chimes in with feedback on the larger units. I'm considering getting a 7" HD unit for the wheelhouse this winter. I say it's for the kids entertainment, but that's only me trying to justify the cost of these. Definitely tempted to try the AV HD7i Gen 2 this time around.

I also have one of the AquaVu Micro Revolutions and I love it. It's small. I have it mounted to a RAM ball, claw/clamp mount and clamp it to one of the bars in the flip over. Works awesome. This is exactly what I use to mount it to the hoop pole:

Water clarity in this neck of the woods is most time less than great. Use that AV, micro to find the edges. Small carry it in a pocket use a snake arm to put it on my Vex or Helix.

Aqua Vue for sure, although if that water is dirty or stained it doesn't make a difference unfortunately.
