Best underwater camera setup

[Guest]

AquaVu is the pioneer in this retail space, IMO. I've never used their products, but they have a foreign made competitor that is much cheaper. 

Are these cameras worth the money? I want to be able to identify/confirm what I'm seeing on the down imager sonar with this camera. Basic fish identification. 

I once had a go-pro mounted to a cheap flippin stick. I mainly used it on clear water smallmouth creeks. Poking it under logjams & down into deeper water. It worked pretty good, but I couldn't see it in real-time. Plus the flippin stick limited my range of motion with the camera.

Would the AquVu or its competitor be a better option than a modified GoPro ?

I paid over $600 for an Aqua View.  I couldn't see anything with it on Stockton so I gave it to my s-I-l to play with down at his dock on Table Rock.
