It is a FourQ underwater fishing camera. It came with a clamp mount that fit perfectly on the side of the vexilar FL8 handle (it would fit on any fishfinder handle). It has a 4.3 inch screen and 100' of cable. It does have the infrared lights and cost me $50 on Amazon.
It was kinda interesting, because before the sun came up, it was pretty dark on the camera screen. I turned the infrared lights on and could see some kind of underwater bugs swimming in front of the lens, they looked like shrimp or scuds or chironomids. I could not see them unless I had infrared on.
No idea what they were but it was really cool to see the perch stacked up down there probably chewing on those bugs. It was pretty easy to be selective when the little ones would grab ahold of the jig, shake the hell out of it, then spit it out.
That was my first time ever using an underwater camera and it was flat out awesome.
Orienting it to my jig was a battle but once I got it, it was deadly combined with the vexilar.
