I have 2 cameras, both AquaVu.
I have the tiny Micro Revolution 5 pro which is super easy to use, fits in a parka pocket and has a wonderful cable-reel built into back as well as a built-in DVR. Cons are that the cable is only 50 feet long (which doesn't usually matter as it gets pretty dark deeper than that except on sunny days with very little snow on the ice) and battery life is 6-8 hours. I bring a cellphone battery charger to go longer. The video is not as high dev as my other camera.
I also have a HD10i Pro Gen 2 that has wonderful HD camera at 1080P and 125 feet of cable. Installed a Lithium battery and will go more than a full day on the power. Amazing footage on 10 inch screen in the shanty. Bright enough for outside use. Cons are that it is larger, heavier, and does not have a built-in DVR for recording. I recorded using the HDMI port (which the other camera does not have). Takes longer to set up and there is not an easy cable-reel and is more expensive.
Glad I have both but if I were to buy one to start I would go with the smaller one. Much easier to use.
