    Press Release:

    MarCum VS625SD underwater camera creating ‘nervous fish syndrome’
    New tricked-out viewing system introduces numerous optical breakthroughs

    Minneapolis, MN – More than a decade ago, many of the country’s top touring bass and walleye pros began quietly stowing a new fish-finding device in their boats. For these renaissance competitors, the underwater camera became their secret prefishing tool—the only electronic device capable of finding and positively identifying their target species, as well as verifying cover and the big tournament winning fish hiding there.

    Today, a new leader in underwater video cameras has emerged. At MarCum Technologies, genius meets passion, and the outcome is innovative products built in the USA. New for 2010-11 is MarCum’s VS625SD. On ice or in your boat, it’s easily the most complete underwater camera system ever made. The proof lies above and below the surface . . .

    Innovation #1 – New advanced Solar-Intelligent® LCD Technology yields incredible screen detail, even when viewed in direct sunlight. The screen is 3 times brighter than previous technology. An intelligently engineered 6-inch waterproof Flat Panel LCD broadcasts the brightest, clearest underwater pictures possible. It’s like having HD TV right in your boat. (The video resolution is so sharp that several national fishing shows record footage directly from off-the-shelf MarCum systems.)

    Innovation #2 – The VS625SD features another MarCum first—a Dual Switchable Color/B&W LCD display. For maximizing underwater detail in clear and shallow conditions, select Color Mode. In deep, dark water where color fades naturally, switch to high-contrast B&W Mode. Now, you don’t need to choose between Color or Black & White. With the VS625SD, you get both!

    Innovation #3 – All new high-resolution SONY® Super HAD II CCD optics yields the sharpest colors and the most vivid screen detail available. An advanced, larger image sensor efficiently gathers light and produces a super-high resolution image in either Color or Black & White. Additionally, MarCum’s Darkwater™ Lighting Technology boosts visibility in dark and dirty water.

    Innovation #4 – New on-screen displays of camera depth, water temperature, camera direction, and battery status enrich the viewing experience. These enhanced features allow you to track moving schools of fish, as well as pinpoint precise depths of fish and cover. Even locate the level of temperature breaks, including the hot fish zone known as the thermocline. Plus, this system is calibrated for use in either fresh or salt water, and, the units of measurement can be changed from standard to metric.

    Complete with a Deluxe Padded Softpack, Stabilizer Fin, 75-feet of camera cable and a more powerful 12-volt 9-amp rechargeable battery with 3-Stage Auto Charger, the MarCum VS625SD is ready to fish at any time of year, regardless of the conditions. If that weren’t enough, MarCum is offering a special mail-in rebate for a FREE Auto Camera Panning Accessory ($50 value, offer valid Oct. 15 – Dec. 31, 2010).

    Manufactured in the U.S.A. by Versa Electronics, MarCum Technologies offers the highest standards in flasher-sonar units and underwater viewing systems available today.

    That is the Bees Knees…….Being able to view either color or in Black and White will be a great benefit for the guy that fishes the river and gets to fish clear water also. Cool stuff right there

    Lots of little things that together, will make this an awesome open-water unit too. Especially the on-screen depth and temp indicator. I’m looking forward to the direction indicator as well. How many times have you panned the camera to see a school of fish off in the distance, unsure of which direction to focus your drilling efforts!!!???

    The 9-amp battery addition should help get even more usage off of a single charge too.

    I would guess with the added features, especially the brighter screen will draw more amps so the stronger battery will be needed.

    I already have more than half of the money for one rat holed to buy one.
    Did I say that?

    Not from what I have read so far. But I just returned from the Marcum web site and discovered they have this unit along with the vs825sd which is basically the same as the 625 but the 625 has a 6″ display and the 825 has a 8″ display. And the MarCum Automatic – Remote Control Camera Panner which comes with both units is also listed. BTW the 825 cost $699, maybe this is the one I will get instead of the 625.

    Anybody want to buy a VS380 cheep?

    So $139 is the going rate for a cat guide to go ice fishing with me and scream out what he is seeing on the screen? Then another guy recording said cat guide?
