We have the Aqua-Vu mini with recorder...love it...I'll post up a couple videos we have taken...as others have said water clarity will vary greatly on all types of conditions...depth, water itself and snow cover.
I do like the idea of the bucket lid so will be trying that out...but at least you'll get the idea. The Aqua-Vu is very small and compact has color, IR, motion sensor and can download the videos...
Here ya go the notional setup...
Board was a scrap I had lying around...dimensions are for an 8" hole...16" long 8.50" wide and the cable cut is 1/8" and 4.25" half of the width. If I had the proper wood tools I'd make the board circular to cover the hole.
Get yourself a mini tripod they are very cheap...
Weight on camera holder is 1/2 oz...Make sure to pinch the plastic where weight goes else once on bottom you may loose the weight...we lost a couple...duh...but thats how you learn.
I use a clothes pin to turn the cable and orient camera plus will eliminate spinning...trust me the cable is TINY a larger clamp could potentially damage the cable as its like 1/32".
Finally drop down a white rope I use a buoy marker in the hole you have the rod...in other hole with camera turn camera with clothes pin or whatever you use to find rope. Pull up rope and drop down your offerings...
Good luck and I like the DVR capability very easy to use press the button and your recording...press button again and its off. I also like that the whole camera is small as a cell phone we can't deal with anymore weight in our sleds.
