Anybody have one of these? If so, how is it?

B&W underwater camera & monitor package for $99.
(I found it on the Harbor Freight site while looking for something else.)


We messed with some similar stuff, and my opinions come as a diver,,

They are hardly worth fooling with unless you boat in water with fantastic
visibility, like 20 feet or more. Average river/bay water has about 3 feet
of visibility and that's it. So if you can't place the camera within three
feet of something, it isn't worth your effort. You can't really float along
in the current examining the bottom either. When the camera is near enough
to the bottom to see anything, then the camera is usually bouncing of rocks
or bouncing off the bottom from slack in the line due to boat rocking motion.

Hardly more than a mere toy which grows tiresome after the first hour.
If you do buy one, use it in combination with a depth finder to locate
and look at unusual echos that appear to rise up from the bottom.
If you want to see fish. go snorkeling, or get scuba certified.
