Thought this might be of interest.
have a look here:

A group of scientists fitted small compact cameras to various 'critters'.
Fascinating insight into what really goes on down in the depths.
On the home page click on the
'on TV section' choose 'Crittercam' scroll down and click on 'video previews'.
The turtle and shark clips are good, but the emperor penguin clip is exceptional.

Sounds great, was chatting the other day with a friend about disguising his remote control boat and fitting a Cam on it.

Would like to try it out on the River cray & see how close we can get to wildlife, or sealing the cam in a water tight container with clear front, place it on the river bed and bait up around it, should be fun.

Will let you know if and when we get round to it.

Hi gent's

Seen a great toy here in Oz at the last Tackle show, it's a camera about the size of a goose egg, all sealed and attached to about 25metres of rubber coated co-ax cable, it attaches to a small B/W TV. The whole thing runs off a car battery, you just lower it under water from a boat or a bank and sit back and watch. Cost about $400 though, but very nice.

I've also heard about a fishfinder which is a module you attach to a kids Gameboy and either cast or lower in with a pole.......wouldn't mind one of those, Nintendo in Japan developed it apparently.

the best I`ve seen was a few years ago, at an exhibition they had a Z gauge model railway with a camera fitted in the cab of the locomotive, this was displayed on a large screen over the layout, you got a tracksoide view in miniture
