With the use of underwater fishing cameras you can now lift the veil on mysterious behavior of the fish below you. Using compact underwater cameras you can now watch fish take your lure in real time and scout out bottom structure in a heartbeat. Here I compare and review Marcum's Pursuit HD with more affordable Eyoyo 7" underwater fishing camera. Both cameras offer built in DVR for recording the action, infrared, and a host of other features.

Good and fair evaluation. I bought the nine inch should. It was consistently 4-5 in top ten units and again consistently beat Aquaview . Price was a concern.

[@djbzyczek]

Great review! Merry Christmas!

Good info and I like the way you respond to the questions, you have a new subscriber here.

Thanks for that review..I was looking at those cameras for a while.

[@CatfishandCrappie]

Great Review! Happy Fishing!

[@tommycodfish]

Caught 2 white fish on 7 inch eyoyo camera on lake Simcoe near Barrie, Ontario, Canada. Lake Simcoe water is really clear so having the eyoyo really help. Much more fun. Marcum persuit is a lot easier to use but the price is to high for me. Either way best results is on a good sunny days. On cloudy days I use a flasher. eyoyo should try to add a flasher with the camera in one package.

[@robertcalamusso4218]

Pard you are a hell of a fisherman. And great presentations.

[@sMileHighCity]

Great review man!

[@PoserdaveOutdoors]

Someone bought me the aquavu planner for Christmas, now I have to buy a freaking underwater camera hahaha

[@kingstondunk3465]

The option to know temp at depth would be great for downrigging lake trout. Multi purpose.

[@coryolson3340]

Another great review

[@swbuckmaster]

The depth on the marcum works just fine if you use it properly. You need to turn it on before you put it in the water and let it stabalize. If you put it in the water first it's unreliable.

[@krismclinden4243]

I have Marcum HD and brother has 7" eyoyo. My camera is far better but his screen is much easier to see in daylight. Inside hut it's a wash. That Marcum needs a matte screen. The gloss one makes seeing it in daylight darn near impossible. Found a Matt screen protector and waiting to try that and see if it works. The Marcum will also work with a external battery pack. I bring my Lithium jump pack unit and run the camera from it on a usb cable. Adds about 6 hours. Looking to build a external monitor for the marcum. Really wish they would put in a Oled screen or something from a cell phone as those are easy to see outside. Seems silly for a outdoor ice fishing device to have almost not consideration for glare.

[@kingstondunk3465]

I had a aqua vu mopod but it died quickly. Cut slot in a frisbee and slid cord through slot then attached a small clamp to hold depth and turn direction.

[@nicolelewis1828]

Brilliant, thanks. Better than a tupperware - love the frisbee idea!

[@jakeclarke8706]

Good review man. Not a bunch of nonsense like others. Good comparisons

Thanks!

Hello sir, is this Patterson lake..? I plan on going there on New Year day to do some crappie/perch fishing (after I watched your video of crappie fishing at Patterson :). Not sure if ice will be good then.

[@spiltmilt]

No. Ice is still rotten up there.

[@dennisprah223]

You said you use your fish finder in conjunction with the camera. Do you them at the same time? How far away is the fish finder from the camera? Do you have some interference ?

[@spiltmilt]

Yes I use them at the same time. I try to put the camera 1.5' from the lure. I don't have issues with interference on my Panoptix I do with traditional sonar.

[@josephinecompana1071]

Sir How much e yoyo camera monitoring under water

[@adamwight1147]

Hey! Still undecided, can you tell me the depths for the last couple of videos? And was the ice clear or covered in snow for those last couple as well?

[@spiltmilt]

Snow covered ice. All of this was filmed in less than 30' of water. Under 10' provides the best color.

[@JustYourAvarageJoe]

I would love to see a comparison with the aqua vu

[@recordfishhunter9234]

Moocor way better than aqua View or ayo yo detail is awesome on moocor cost $150.00

[@Joy2829]

Noticed that the on the side of the Marcum beside the ports that there is like seam or crack. Is that a crack or is that like a normal seam found on this product? Just curious. Thank you for the great quality review.

[@spiltmilt]

Its a normal seam.

[@Joy2829]

@@spiltmilt thanks!

[@simpsonrdlarry4385]

Does the China camera have video out I heard you say the marcum did but you didn’t say anything about the China rig

[@spiltmilt]

It does have a video out cord that could be plugged into another screen but unless you used a splitter the 7" wouldn't work then.

[@icefisher1171]

My 9" Eyoyo picture quality is better than Marcum or aqua-vu.

[@jjmcg9688]

Great video. What would you say about using it in the summer?

[@spiltmilt]

Great for scouting out habitat and bottom loving fish like walleye and catfish

[@jjmcg9688]

@@spiltmilt seems like summer walleye people like the marcum a lot more, but they are out of stock. Is the Eyo your #2? ( I don’t ice fish)

[@chadthiem8371]

i was gifted an eyoyo 7” non dvr and it’s alright. nothing to brag home about but it’s just to cumbersome for me to use often. to many plugs and to much wires and the case flips back drives me nuts and there is no way to mount it to a tripod to keep it up high off the ice/slush. great camera for the price but i just never want to deal with setting it up or drying it out. i’d rather fish then be in a tangled mess

[@dltorres17]

Do you know anything about the moocor 720p camera in comparison to the eyoyo 720p

[@spiltmilt]

I don’t have any experience with it. Sorry

[@aaronalto3034]

You seem to fish outside a lot. Does the Marcum Pursuit screen show bright enough to see decently when it's sunny and you're fishing outside in the open? I like to sit out too, but have heard some complain about lack of brightness in sunshine. Thanks and keep up the fun and educational vids and adventures.

[@spiltmilt]

The glare can be tough on the Marcum. I def use the lid to help shadow the screen if I can

[@aaronalto3034]

@@spiltmilt Thanks for the feedback. I can figure out a screen for when it's sunny. Would you say it's best bang for the buck on image quality, size of unit, battery capacity, and camera head adjuster? I'm looking at getting the HDL with the new camera adjuster style. Thanks again and keep your fine vids coming.

Hi. Would this work in Clear salt water ? Thanks

[@spiltmilt]

I think the video quality is terrible

[@milkman2591]

@@spiltmilt not too many people talk about it

[@jakedogfish241]

I had the eyoyo camera and used it one time attached to a crab pot. It never worked after that. I think maybe the wire may have got damaged inside although nothing was visible. I threw out the whole camera. Now Im thinking I probably could of just got a new wire and lens? Oops!

[@nicolelewis1828]

I have read that their customer service is excellent. Did you contact them?

[@fjin1]

Can the marcum connect to external power source while using ?

[@spiltmilt]

Yes

[@mtcoiner7994]

The Eyoyo seems like it only records in 30 fps. The Marcum looks like like 60 fps

[@swbuckmaster]

Your going to ruin your marcum camera putting that hard of a bend coming right out of the back of the camera. Thats why you have a white curly piece of plastic on the cable it prevents this if its put in the proper location

[@RAM-19]

Own both...my picture with eyoyo is much better than you got with yours (i have the same one)...and the eyoyo is still going strong...my marcum crapped out after a year and a half of use...and in Canada the marcum is $250 more...so the million dollar question...is the marcum worth $250 more??? I say no way...after 2 years of hard use eyoyo still going strong and my experience with the marcum has not been good...would not buy another... Great review though...always enjoy your vids... From my very wet , melting igloo on the mountain in grande cache alberta Canada 🇨🇦 D.

[@spiltmilt]

My Eyoyo crapped out after 1 season and my Marcum is still going strong. I just got a new Eyoyo and image quality is even worse.

100ft of cable when you can only see 20-40 ft is just extra for nothing ? Good review.

[@kapa9999]

❤👍👌

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

i ordered that cheapo camera last year and it sucked ass. i could not see anything in rather clear water. i sent it back pretty quick.

[@spiltmilt]

I don't think its the same model. Last year's model didn't have the high def camera nor the built in DVR.

[@jasonlong30]

I have the eyoyo 7" and my camera is way clearer then that. I fish dirty and clear water. you have to adjust the settings. I can see fish and identify them at least 4ft away. this review is trying to sell you on the Marcum that costs 5 times that of the eyoyo. I never use the led/infared lights.

[@spiltmilt]

I don't think I am trying to sell you on anything. I think they are both great cameras. I just presented the results.

[@Mrv1960]

He wasn’t selling anything but I will, that pursuit has a Sony camera. Don’t compare Japan to China crap for quality. If you can’t afford it I understand but there is no comparison between the 2 cameras.

[@ychongy]

@@Mrv1960 I agree. It works fine after a few uses but the camera leaks and fogs up. The thinner cable also would have issues later and plugging and unplugging cables while reeling wet water cables lines up everytime is annoying.

[@ychongy]

Eyoyo cheap chinese units are bad quality. Went through two which died and water gets into the camera. Also when its cold, you dont want have time to mess with the wonky wires and hand reeling wire.

[@swbuckmaster]

The marcum panner sucks!

[@spiltmilt]

Why do you say that? What panner do u recommend?

[@swbuckmaster]

@@spiltmiltif the marcum panner gets wet it will ruin it. Its not water proof. The aqua view panner sits up out of the water and doesn't have the same problems.

[@spiltmilt]

I had several people tell me not to buy the Aqua View panner because it is not durable and breaks easy

[@patricksoto62]

It is hard to keep the wire in the slot. It kept sliding out and you spend more time trying to keep the camera just off the bottom than seeing. When it is working, it’s great but I found it less frustrating manually spinning the cord.

[@djomegaminus]

I would highly highly recommend staying away from the cheap chinese cameras. You literally get what you pay for with these things. If you want to buy a pricey paperweight, go for it, but you will end up buying a decent name brand camera after that one with no warranty fries.

[@spiltmilt]

Did you watch the video? The quality on the Eyoyo is actually decent.

[@djomegaminus]

@@spiltmilt it probably works ok now but the quality of all the components are obviously very cheap. The case itself is the same cases they used for cheap makeup totes in the late 90's. Corners were cut dude. Let me know how the resale value of that camera is in 2 years. Lol. Cheap Chinese quality. Indisputable.

[@djomegaminus]

@@spiltmilt there is a reason no one has ever heard of Eyoyo but everyone knows about Aqua Vu and Marcum.

[@Mrv1960]

@@spiltmilt you do know that the Pursuit comes with a Sony camera. Spec wise there is no comparison and quality wise Sony kicks ass. I was a videographer for 30 years and Sony quality is A1
