See the world beneath your boat, or pier, with the Micro 5 Plus Underwater Camera System with 5" LCD Display & 1MP Zoom Camera from Aqua-Vu. The camera has an operating depth of up to 100 feet, so you can study deep environments with the 5" color monitor while remaining dry on the surface. This system is ideal for saltwater, freshwater, and ice fishing, but may also be used for various other applications, such as explorations and inspections.
The camera features a color 1/4" image sensor for streaming the live video feed to the monitor, which is connected via the supplied 100 foot cable. Additionally, the camera is equipped with two infrared LED lights to enhance visibility in dark conditions and murky water without spooking fish, and offers a wide 90° angle of view for ample coverage. You can angle the camera down or to the side depending on your needs. Power to the underwater viewing system is provided by the internal, rechargeable, 12V, lithium-ion battery, which fits securely inside the monitor base.
