Underwater Video Camera

My wife suprised me with a kodak mini last week before a fishing trip. It's a small digital video camera that can be submerged. She got it on sale for $29.99, they usually sell for around $99.

The video and sound clarity are not great, but it's fun to mess around with, and I can keep it in my pack without it taking up much space.

I took it out on one of the local creeks yesterday to get some underwater shots of trout. Here's a quick vid of a brown and a bow from yesterday.

    Nice.
    I thought the underwater clarity/focus was good.
    I've seen worse from more expensive cameras.
    Have fun with your new toy.

    Very nice! Now if you can rig a remote wire to it it would make prospecting those "unknown" areas much easier. Just throw it out and look for fish.

    She bought it at target. It's an item they typically only sell on the internet. The one she bought had damaged packaging. I figure that's the reason for the discount. Here's the link:

    I now know what I want for x-mass 

    great video and I thought the clarity and focusing was just fine. Now if I can just find one with damaged packaging

    That was exceptional. The bow was a really good fish. That's where I'd be fishing.

    What, no suckers?


    I do, in fact, have footage of a sucker caught that same day. Believe it or not, I didn't catch it.

    I'll post a link to the sucker, and some steelbow action after I kill something tomorrow.

    You didn't catch it, but you were able to guide someone else to one?
     
    You are definately the sucker king!
