Aqua-Vu The Best Underwater Video Camera
The waters and its life always bring us joy and that sense of happiness. Every time we wander out the sea, we are always full of smiles and glee. But too bad, we don’t have that luxury to enjoy the beautiful deep sea because of the limitations we people have. Oftentimes, we are envious of some cable channels which offer various underwater clips and are mainly contented with what we see.
If you don’t have that physique to go under water and that breathe to match those of the fishes, then your under water fascination might always remain a dream. But don’t fret, with the advent of technology, it paves way to view the waters and under it in a more convenient way for us. Thanks to some pioneers, underwater video cameras had been invented to help that enthralment of ours a realization now. And one of the best underwater video camera to date is Aqua-Vu.
Aqua-Vu has been in the market for 3 decades already. This was spearheaded by Al and Ron Lindner and its inventor Jeff Zernov. During their first In-Fisherman magazine, they wrote a good prospect in viewing fishes with an observation tower. This idea was quite futuristic those times but nonetheless the three brains worked it out. Unfortunately it wasn’t made because of some financial and physical constraints. Nonetheless, they shifted their idea with a portable device that can be carried on the waters and underneath it thus Aqua-Vu was born.
What are the things that Aqua-Vu can offer to us? Why is this device considered one of the best underwater video cameras? What are the advantages of purchasing one? And is it even worth the price? Let me point out some wonderful things that only Aqua-Vu can offer and give us.
Sturdy Camera Assembly – is the strongest asset of Aqua-Vu. Their video camera lines are engineered to be not only water prone but also pressure resistant. A certain epoxy resin is used to encapsulate the device making it hard and durable. The cable and the camera are linked together with the use of another graded epoxy making an extra strong connection between the two. Thus, if there are any pulling stresses, it is directly catch by the epoxy and not on the crimp connection.
Definite Cable Assembly – is another durable edge of the Aqua-Vu underwater video cameras. Their cables had been closely studied for five years with continuous trials. Their cables are designed to stretch to 1% and can carry up to 200 lbs. The wires underneath the cables are water resistant with the Olefin insulation. Video signals are protected by its conductive thermoplastic. Such complexities and rigid assembly makes their cables suitable for underwater exploration irregardless of harsh outside factors.
Underwater Lighting – in terms of Aqua-Vu provides two light sources that can help enhance any underwater videos. One is their IR or infrared light and the other one is the MC or the Multi-Color lights. The IR improves viewing during dawns and dusk mostly in deeper waters. On the other hand during sunrise and sunset times helps viewing of increased underwater activity. Aqua-Vu’s MC offers superb light penetration after dark. Thus, during night time, it gives more illumination and visibility than the IR. It also minimizes reflection and can greatly improves color frequency of the water particles once viewed.
These are some of the things that you can enjoy and benefit from having Aqua-Vu. No doubt this is one of the best underwater video cameras ever made available to us. Thus, if you would be enjoying the waters soon don’t forget to get a hand of their lines and you can surely enjoy the waters better with a little memory keepsake in return.
