Camera Mounting Options
Your Fish Scout comes with two cable holding options. One
is an elbow suspension arm attached directly to the bottom
of your internal ABS frame. The elbow arm is ideal for when
you wish to look down an ice fishing hole directly next to the
monitor. The elbow support arm easily folds out of way when
not in use. The “egg” attaches to your cable and allows you
to suspend the camera at whatever depth you wish to hold.
By simply rotating the cable and dropping the egg back into
the round slot on the elbow arm, you can hold the camera at
any depth or direction.
Another option is to use the folding over-the-
hole suspension arm. This arm is kept in the long
pocket on the side of your Fish Scout soft pack
case. This is used when you want to suspend
the camera over the ice fishing hole away from
the camera. This is a common application since
having the camera too close to where you are
fishing will result in the fish getting tangled in the
cable. By using the larger over-hole suspension arm, you can place the camera in a secure
viewing position five to ten feet from where you are fishing to avoid hooking the cable
while fishing.
The camera incorporates a custom designed
zinc cast waterproof housing. The amount of
weight in this camera housing is balanced
and designed to give you good camera
control while still fishing or trolling. For added
open water stability, add the optional tail fin
(included) which screws into position in the
back of the housing.
With the trolling fin on the camera housing, you are also able to attach
it to a long pole to hold the camera at unique angles. This feature is
popular with marinas and boat owners who want to see the bottom
of a boat or look for something nearly impossible to see underwater
without a camera. The actual pole is not available from Vexilar but is
commonly found at hardware stores in the paint or the window cleaning
departments.
The housing is also designed to make it easy to attach to your cable and
use in the popular Down-Viewing perspective.
