Has anyone used the VS 560 by Marcum? Or the new Aqua Vu with the 4 camera angles?
Thoughts? Suggestions, or opinions..I am going to get one and want to get the best one of the 2.
Thanks

Another vote for MarCum. Great electronics built by Muskie fishermen.

Used them both and I hate the Aqua Vu 4 cam camera. The screen has 4 different pics running at the same time and it's irritating. I've heard a small number of complaints about the "bat camera" (ovs) freezing up and not turning, but I haven't seen it happen.

Marcum is making a camera for us this winter, will be priced at about $200.00. I know that Nature Vision (Aqua Vu) is making DVR cams and accessories for this winter, that would be interesting.

The Marcum has a better/sharper/better contrast screen and have been more dependable than the other companies so far. In addition to the 460 and 560, they are coming out with a 360 that has a large 7.5" screen that will retail for $200-$220 this winter.
Hope this helps,
