Mine has the rechargeable 12v gel cell, you can use AC to recharge it or rig a plug so you can plug it in out on the boat. It is a neat toy, and very useful for finding submerged items. The orientation is hard to figure out... like others said it can be very hard to figure out which way the camera is pointing, especially when trying to actually retrieve something from the bottom.

I spent a good hour on retrieving the first fishing pole, the second one took several sessions... probably a couple hours on that one. It was stuck in the middle of that brushpile. Just a plain ol Zebco that had been there for a LONG time, the guts were just one big glob of rust, but the mono was still good! lol

If you dropped a set of keys in the lake, I bet I could get em back.

Next trip in June, Ill try to get some pics of it in action.

They have a video on YouTube showing a guy using his camera to get keys out of the lake. It is set to music and is pretty entertaining.
