Aqua-Vu’s amazing Multi-Vu Pro System adds value and underwater video to sonar

Crosslake, MN – Similar to your tablet or smartphone, modern sonar units now offer an expansive array of interesting apps. Most valuable for anglers, top-end sonar-GPS screens now provide video compatibility, and the ability to play live underwater action when connected to an Aqua-Vu camera. For ice anglers who fish from luxury hardwater houses, the same simple connection fills the TV screen with crystal clear underwater video—a live fishing play-by-play that keeps everyone engaged in what’s happening below.

The ultimate in fish-finding technology for over two decades, Aqua-Vu recently introduced Multi-Vu HD Pro, a turnkey sonar- or TV-to-camera adaptor system that turns your LCD into a live underwater viewer.

“The Multi-Vu Pro system provides instant connectivity between my Aqua-Vu camera and my big screen sonar,” says professional angler and electronics wizard, “Doctor Sonar” Bruce Samson. “High definition underwater video gives me a superior view of my fishing area, in the sharpest, brightest, and most amazing sunlight viewable picture available. The ability to view sonar signals side-by-side with real-time underwater video is a remarkable advantage, confirming fish species and the true-to-life appearance and layout of structure.”

Complete with a high-definition Aqua-Vu XD™ underwater camera (with 75-feet of cable), Camera-Cable Shuttle and Control Module, the Multi-Vu Pro System (MSRP $699) features both analog (RCA) or digital HD (HDMI) video compatibility. Also included is a 12-volt power cable for connection to an auxiliary power source, such as an on-board battery.

Camera Control Module includes power on/off switch and infrared (IR) lighting dimmer switch for adjusting IR light intensity of the Aqua-Vu camera optics. For connection to HDMI or RCA enabled TV or sonar units, Aqua-Vu offers optional HDMI Video or RCA Video cords, with IP67 waterproof connections.

“The Multi-Vu Pro system is a powerful tool for tournament prefishing,” adds Mark Lassagne, who scouts with underwater optics on West Coast bass waters, such as Clear Lake and the California Delta. “If sonar marks a fish, I can quickly drop the Aqua-Vu and see if it’s a bass, as opposed to a carp or other species. I can also uncover fish hiding in heavy brush or grass; these fish aren’t always possible to discern on the meter (sonar).”

The Aqua-Vu Multi-Vu Pro System upgrades any video enabled sonar or LCD with live, HD or analog video functionality. Run underwater video side-by-side with a digital mapping window and drop waypoints on individual big fish. Play live Aqua-Vu imagery simultaneously with sonar and remove all the question marks. The new Aqua-Vu is perfect for boat-mounted sonar displays or a TV inside a wheeled ice-fishing shelter.

Fully sealed and functional in fresh- and saltwater, the patent-pending Aqua-Vu XD camera housing features versatile underwater viewing options. Connected to the camera’s Quick-Attachment™ Slide Rail, XD accessories (sold separately) offer various underwater perspectives.
Multi-Vu HD Pro is compatible with most high-end sonar/GPS displays.

Multi-Vu™ Pro System Specs:

  • Aqua-Vu XD Camera Resolution HD (720P)
  • Auto-Clear Technology provides superior resolution, color and clarity in all water conditions
  • Compatible with all Aqua-Vu XD Accessories
  • Camera Low Light Rating .01 Lux
  • Camera Field of View 120 Degrees
  • Adjustable IR Lights
  • 75′ Camera Cable with base unit
  • Compatible with select sonar models from Lowrance, Garmin and Raymarine
  • Camera Control Module with power and light dimmer switches
  • 12-volt wiring harness for in-boat applications
  • Waterproof (IP67-rated) video cables (HDMI or RCA) sold separately ($39.99 each)

USA Shooting Responds to “No More Guns” Article

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado

To say the least, these are challenging times in the shooting sports industry following another unthinkable tragedy, this time in Christchurch, New Zealand. Every one of these high-profile, senseless killings engulfs the world in a renewed and impassioned gun debate. The inevitable result: shaming, blame-shifting and social stigma.

Sportswriter Alan Abrahamson’s latest column in 3 Wire Sports titled “At the Olympics: No More Guns” does all of that for one of the oldest Olympic sports, while adding in a blatant slap in the face. It’s an alarmist’s reaction to a sport millions of people across the globe participate in.

His column calls for the removal of shooting as an Olympic sport. This response is in defense of USA Shooting’s Olympic and Paralympic athletes as well as our hopefuls and those safely participating in this sport on a daily basis. All of them are unwillingly stigmatized because the sports equipment they use is so negatively associated with tragedy. Read more
