I use mine all the time, both under the ice and under the boat. There are many uses for it, from just looking at the structure down there to verifying the target fish to actually watching for the bite when they are seemingly suffering from lock jaw. My only complaint is that I sometimes need a 75-100' cable since I live on Bear Lake and mine only has a 50' cable.
I use a marcum vs485c and love it. The screen visibility kinda sucks in open daylight, but I can shade it and still see what is happening down there. It has really been a game changer for my perch fishing. When I find perch, but can't seem to get them to bite I simply lower the camera, rotate it to look at my lure or bait and start the process of finding out what pattern of teasing it takes to get them to bite and then it's game on. Many times I get bites without the slightest indication at the rod tip.
No good in murky water however.
