I would go with the camera if I were you, you already have a flasher at your disposal and she will probably enjoy watching the camera more than little colored lines spinning around in a circle. Good luck.
That was my thinking but I’m a little worried about the durability of the camera and if it is going to be or is a legacy product.
With only a 1 year warranty and I have seen what happened to a lot of cameras, granted they were not Marcum cameras but a high percentage of them fail.
I do think she would love the camera and hey it would help me in those tough bite situations, just worried about lugging a 7″ Tube TV along.
Where are the IDO Staffers Joel, James?
They are fishing of course.
The VS380 is a very good camera, it has been on the market for a while already and has out lasted most of the competition cameras in a similar model…ie cabelas. I would imagine a very good selling camera at this price point. The camera itself is a high resolution camera that gives a clear vison of whats below. The 7″ tube style monitor is a bonus at this price, most cameras with a bigger screen means more money, not with the VS380. It also comes with a camera panner (50 dollar value) inclueded in that price.
A lot of guys will buy this camera and hook it up to the big screen in the permanent house simply because of price point and the quality of the actual camera not because the monitor isn’t good for viewing. Since you have a flasher already the camera is something to use to keep the GF entertained while fishing, I am sure she will enjoy watching the fish just as much as you catching them.
The MarCum VS380 is a good durable camera to buy, I wouldn’t let the 1 year warranty scare you either.
