Mrcum Underwater Camera Panner

Date:March 4, 2012

Worked great until I got some moisture into the remote switch. The remote control for the panner allows me to turn the viewing direction of my Marcum underwater camera without geting up from my seat. Just be careful to not drop the remote control in any water on the ice or into the water in your drilled hole. I did this and the control shorted out and the panner stopped working. The rest of the unit has seals to keep water out of the panner, but the remote does not. I think that Marcum should wise up and realize that ice fishig is the type of sport where it's difficult to keep anything dry and design the remote so it is waterproof.

Marcum Ice Camera Panning Device

Date:March 3, 2012

Mine came included with my Marcum camera, so it didn't cost me anything but frustration. I really wanted to like this, and for the first 5 times out, I had no complaints. But this time out, it decided to keep turning to the left. It only stops turning left when you make it turn right, and as soon as you let go of the button, it starts going left again.

Unlike others, I've got no bad feedback on battery life. I will echo others complaints about the screw heads...whoever put 4 little bitty phillips screws as the only means of holding on a battery compartment has obviously never been on the water. Imagine trying to remove & replace 4 very tiny screws while icefishing, just to swap batteries...good luck not messing that up.

I wouldn't buy one of these. Stick with the old school method.

Great Idea, Terrible Design

Date:February 18, 2012

I've had the same problems as the other posts. I'm currently on the second unit and this one is ready for the trash. I have the tools to build a PC so thankfully I have a small enough screwdriver. It didn't matter though. After changing the batteries 3 times the screws are now stripped. The rubber gasket inside is off and was when I purchased it (Both units). I've glued it back down myself a couple times. One big problem is the battery door is on the bottom with a worthless gasket so the inside fills up with slush and stops working.

I'll use the pan option for about 10 seconds every 30 minutes and I'll be able to get 3 hours out of the 2 C batteries.

Save yourself the trouble and do not purchase this until they come up with a better design which shouldn't be to difficult.

JUNK

Date:February 3, 2011

I purchaced 2 of these and out of the box both were faulty. The first one would do nothing. I think the motor was bad. I returned it and got another. This one out of the box would only turn in one dirrection. I think this one had a bad switch. Marcum usually means quality but this thing is pure junk. Dont waste your money.
