      Comments about MarCum® VS380 Underwater Viewing System with FREE! Camera Panner:

      I have had this unit for 3 years and have not had a problem with it at all. it works just as good today as when i received it 3 years ago. you can find replacement parts with no problem and the customer service at marcum is very helpful. the only problem is it's hard to see the tv monitor when its bright outside.

      Comments about MarCum® VS380 Underwater Viewing System with FREE! Camera Panner:

      Bought in Dec. 2012 for 210 bucks. Used it twice in 10 fow and cam filled with water. When I finally got a hold of Marcum they took care of it quickly.($11.00 shipping) They never answered any of my emails. Phone only, and keep trying. The screws in the panner batery compartment were stuck and one had to be drilled out and then the brass insert had to be repaired. Panner battery box is too small for the batteries, have to be forced in with a screwdriver. The camera battery had to be replaced within 2 months, not on warranty. ($25.00) Fully charged it would last about 15 minutes. This is definitely my last Marcum product.

        I bought this camera 2 years ago and I absolutely love it. Out of all the black and white cameras this one is by far the best. Built well and video is very clear. If the water is deep and muddy though it ain't very good but none of them are in that case. I would definetly recommend this camera to anybody looking for one.

        Ive read many reviews of other peoples cameras being damaged by water. Ive had mine for 3 years and it works great. You can even record your underwater fishing with a camcorder attached to the VS380. However the only thing thats negative is the greyscale camera, you have to be in a shanty to even see whats on the screen. You can upgrade to a color camera.

        Ive read many reviews of other peoples cameras going out..I must have gotten lucky, I havent had any problems with this product and Ive had it for three years. The only downside is the black and white greyscale camera. In the bright sun you can barley see the screen. But you can upgrade to a color camera attatchment. Overall this product is great for the price if you wanna see your underwater surroundings! Also you can use a camera to record your underwater fishing, just need a yellow video cable and a recorder of some type. hope this helps!!

        I used this camera for ice fishing. It worked once then the camera got water in it and stopped working. I orded and payed for myself a new camera for the unit, it worked once and got water in it and quit working. I have been trying to get ahold of customer service but can't. Spend a little more money and go with a different unit!!

            I use this camera for ice fishing. I really like it when it works. I have had it for two seasons now and I am on my fourth camera. The camera gets moisture in the lense and is totally useless. [...] I would prefer to have a camera that worked without having to take back all the time.
