Here's an underwater camera that does a nice a job for the person seeking year round fun! Smaller screen is not as limiting as one might think. Visitbiilty is very good plus you now get the new fangled fish camera for better lighting than on older models like the Scout SRT, Scout 2, and Scout XL. Here's the feature list:

This camera is essentially the same as the old Scout II. Same size, same features but a much better lighting system!

Other Cool Stuff
This particular camera also gives ON SCREEN WATER TEMPERATURE from the camera's location. This is particularly helpful if you are seeking thermalclines in the fall, of if you are trying to remember why swimming below the ice is not as much fun as you once may have thought.

The protective case with the Zip-out sunshield is a simple, fast, feature that will make a huge difference when you are out of the shelter. It's deep when extended so you'll be able to see the screen.

The perch-pattern camera is designed to not spook the fish. In fact, I think it will attract fish because it really does look like a good decoy. You can buy the other body types (fish species) for the camera as well. All you need is a Phillips screwdriver to change them.

The only details I don't like about this unit are somewhat minor. The handle is also the stand and you need to pull out the sides slightly to rotate it around from being a handle to becoming a stand. You might have to watch so it doesn't stick to the ice. Another detail is the camera direction. When you drop the camera down into the hole, you have absolutely no idea which way you are pointing. You will need to mess around with twisting the cable at the top of the hole in all the Aqua-Vu units to get set up to view and I can see where that is going to be a bit frustrating until you come to accept that that is the way it is with Aqua - Vu. Having to rotate the cable is a pain, but you can make this problem go away really easily with one of these tripods. A great accessory for your camera and they work pretty well, too!

When I go out, I like to drill three holes. One for the camera that is placed so that it can see two holes without having to be moved. Here's a diagram:

Summary - As with everything, all cameras have trade-offs. If you want a reliable, effective camera with temperature, this one is a good one to consider.
