Thinking of hitting the ice with a SondeCAM underwater fishing camera? Due to its rugged design, you won’t have to worry about it handling the harsh elements. However there are a few simple tricks to get the most out of a FishSens SondeCAM<\/a> while ice fishing.<\/p>\n

You won’t have to do anything to modify the SondeCAM itself, but you are going to have to bring a few extra things. Most importantly we are going to need a power source. Unless you are hauling your gear with a truck, you’ll want something more portable than the battery you used in the boat. Pick up an inexpensive and maintenance-free 12-volt, 9-amp battery. It is going to provide plenty of power, but will be much lighter and take up less space. Just add a couple female spade terminals to the SondeCAM power cable and you are ready to go.<\/p>\n

Next we have some things to address with cable management. I spool my SondeCAM up on an electrical cord storage reel. They are light weight, brightly colored, and allow me to manage the cable efficiently. One quick tip with them is to cut off the edges that are meant to stand the reel up. I will lay the spool on one side so I can pay out cable while it is connected to the power source. If you don’t ensure the outside of the spool is completely round, the cable will often catch each time you unwrap the cable.<\/p>\n

Other than a power source this is the most important thing. Have you ever tried to use an underwater fishing camera without some sort of camera panner? Well, unless you like spending your time being extremely frustrated and not catching fish, I suggest you don’t. Do not hit the ice without some sort of camera panner. You can purchase a disc or tripod style, or you can build one. A quick Google search on a homemade underwater camera panner will show you all you need. A camera panner will keep the cable from rotating in different directions, so where you point the camera is where it stays.<\/p>\n
