Aqua-vu scout or Atlantis AUW 503 drop cam

[mr shiver]

I am looking to buy one of these two models. Can anyone shed any light on the pro and cons of either one, And has any one run one of these behind a cannon ball during the summer? Is it even possible with this model?

i,m also looking to buy one of these if any one has some in site as to which would be better i like to hear your input.

Keep in mind, these are only my thoughts

I bought an atlantis two years ago. A third grader could have done a better job of writing the owners manual, I mean the spelling, gramer, everything was hard to understand and lacking info.
I simply returned the unit after being unsatisfied with the results, but I have heard horror stories concerning thier customer service. I have also heard unconfirmed results that they are going out of business.

I think you will be better of with the aqua-view. Again, JUST MY THOUGHTS

just make up something that will hold the cable, you can't do it while your fishing

Hi Trimmer,
 What I would suggest to hold your line would be the ice pod, made by aqua-vu. It is an underwater camera cable holder that will work with all underwater cameras. It uses a tripod system, you just set the camera to the depth you want and click it in, the tripod sits right over the hole. If you want to get really technical and follow the fish easily, you can purchase the motorized ice pod, again made by aqua-vu. To view these products there web site is www.naturevisioninc.co m . I have an older model aqua-vu and the regular ice pod and they work well for me. You will be amazed what you will see, I sure am. I hope this helps, good fishing and enjoy.

i just use the downviewing it's nice and no hassle of twisting and turning the cord

I rigged up a board with a notch in it for the cable and spring clamp for a stop.then just rotate the clamp to look around.Works good but i think i,ll get the tripod anyway.

Ive had a Scout all season great cam for the money.My brother got an Atlantis in the end of Feb .First real trip out the camera leaked and he had to return it.His second one works but the picture quality is not as good as my scout.We hooked his camera to my monitor same thing the camera must not be as good.The monitors look like they are made by the same company.As for holding the cable two 10" pieces of 1x2 screwed together at one end slip the cable between them from the open end the pressure from the one screw holds it nice just set your depth and rotate the bords as needed.

as my brother perchpuller stated I had the atlantis sports cam 1st one was a leaker  took it back to bass-pro no problem exchanging it  2nd one the picture wasent even as good as the one that leaked so went back to bass-pro now am a proud owner of a aqua-vu mc2x havent got to test it other than a quick dip in the lake but I think Im going to like it much better clearer picture better workmanship.The best part is got it on sale for 180.00 on sale from 250.00 

[DR.TROUT]

OOOO , were did you get it at the price???

[PERCHPULLER]

Madbomber got it at basspro in Auburn it was an unadvertised sale to clear inventory they only had a few left so it wasnt in the ad.At least he took my advice and ditched the Atlantis Aqua View is a better product. :oTold ya so
