Not exactly Muskie related, but I need a little help. I am looking to buy an Aqua Vu camera and would like to hear some opinions on some of the different models. I am leaning toward the Z series. I dont think I need the temp or direction for my purposes.

Any opinions on whether or not the lights on the camera scare the fish at all?

Thanks in advance.

Baldy....I got both the Mc2X and the Z-60....go with the multi color...t's best for thick ice and low-light situations. the Z is great if you dont have alot of ice or cover on the ice and sunny days.

Look into the new Ice Pro too, if you're planning on using it just for ice fishing in a shack.

Baldy,

Head on over to www.icefishingfirst.com and ask this question there. OutdoorFIRST's Mr. Bluegill Troy Peterson will have some valuable information for you. He is one of the most experienced people I know with these types of cameras.

Good luck,

Hi Baldy,

Glad you posted this. I have been toying with the idea of getting an underwater camera, but first I need to educate myself on these things.
Black & white? Color? Cost difference between them.

Let me know which one you decide to go with and why. Thanks!

Mc2X.......$400.00 for the basic unit
Z-60.......$300.00 for the basic unit
Ice Pro....$270.00

Prices can vary with the Mc2x, because you can get longer camera cable, temp, direction and other goodies.
