that is the smartest thing I have seen so far with this tiny little camera. Personally I thought they looked useless, who want to pay $300 for a camera that is designe to hole hop, but making it usefull at the hole makes it more valuable.. now if you could only improve the battery life
Guys,The micro camera is podded so the issue is not leakage. A small shipment of micros arrived with the wrong diode from the factory. The issue was discovered very quickly but some had already shipped to retailers. The retailers were contacted and pulled everything from that shipment but some had already been been sold to customers. Basically the diode will malfunction in cold temperatures but work in temps above 60-degrees. If you have this problem and again they anticipate it to be a small amount from only a few retailers, contact Aqua-Vu support and they will fix you up ASAP. ThanksChris Munchow
Tiny, Did yours leak?
The one I have is running a strong 7 hrs. on a charge at room temperature
Lance how does that Trent power pack hook up to the Micro. Is it like plugging in a cell phone to a charger ?? Glenn
I got a Micro for Christmas. I charged the battery and tested it inside. Seemed to work just fine. So yesterday I take it to the ice and the monitor goes blue screen, grainy video, blue screen, back and forth. It would not work. I brought it inside the shack for a while and it worked a bit better, but still issues. Not going to cut it if 30 degree weather malfunctions this thing.So, thanks to this post, I was able to figure out we have an issue. I called Aqua Vu and they are sending a replacement camera. Bad Diode problem like was mentioned. I was instructed to cut the camera cord and send proof of this in an email. Then new camera, cable and spool is being sent out with a "free gift" for my troubles. I will let you know how long shipping takes as well as what the free gift entails. Nina assisted me and she was very helpful and apologetic. **Don't do anything until you contact Aqua View support obviously.
I got my camera today. So they obviously are overnight shipping these. I plan to take it out today/tonight and see if it performs like it should. Customer service and shipping on this issue were awesome. Although the "free gift" for my troubles was a pair of can koozies. I wasn't expecting anything, but then they had to go and say "free gift for my troubles" getting my hopes up for a carrying case, or something of SOME value. They may as well not even mention the "free gift" by phone, just ship em and have the customer be "thrilled" with the koozies at that point. Don't build it up in the customer's minds. I wasn't expecting anything, but a $300 piece of equipment malfunctioning day 1, there should be something in the form of retribution for the customer.All in all, no harm now that the camera is back in hand. Had I been on a trip and had this issue, i would have been really upset. Thanks for the fast shipping!
