LOWER THE CAMERA AND VIEW! Begin your viewing trip by simply lowering the camera to the bottom. (Don't worry! The camera won't break if you bump a rock or suddenly "hit bottom.") In most waters, fish relate to bottom structure. So, while drifting or slow-trolling, you'll need to guide the camera over the ups and downs of bottom contours. You will quickly learn how to "swim" the camera over bottom terrain. With cable in hand, simply raise or lower the camera, paying out more or less cable dependi

When an underwater camera is submerged and out of sight - in deep or murky water, or below the ice - the user might ask, "Which way am I looking? In which direction is my camera facing? Which way must I turn the camera to bring my ice fishing lure into view?" Nature Vision's sophisticated Direct-Tech technology enables the Aqua-Vu DT user to know the direction in which the camera is "looking." This advantage simplif

When ice fishermen return to the same fish house or set of holes in the ice, they can easily aim the camera in the right compass direction to quickly bring into view one's bait, lure, and nearby bottom or structure.
