Anyone tried those $100 Chinese underwater fishing cameras? Are they any good?

I've been thinking of purchasing a Water Wolf based on seeing excellent underwater videos posted here on BFT.

Here's a link of a search of all mention of Water Wolf in BFT and many of them have videos of it in action for you to watch:

Thank-you for your contributions to our fine group with your aerial photographs.

Been having enough issues with my Marcum that I'd be nervous of a China built model, but that's just from other products not the camera. Later J

it is hard to tell what kind of camera you are talking about

the water wolf is a good camera but it is more for trolling and you need to use a PC to watch the video

here are some live cameras

Yeah I got one to see how it was. It works ok but doesn't have as wide of angle on the camera so it's hard to see things off to the sides like I could with my Aqua-Vu camera.

Also after a couple dozen times it developed a short in the cable so when I try to put it down 30' it starts to short out sometimes.

You definitely get what you pay for on those things.

Mine worked well for several years. Sold it to a friend and he is still using it. I didn't have high hopes for it but it still works. I'm kind of surprised.
