I would want to buy here in the USA. I've got several cameras that can do IR and regular light. If I could match my cameras with your transmitter system. I've wrote to Fish EyE and for some reason they are not bothering to write me back. I guess they must have too much business in the U.K. Or just don't give a crap about selling to others outside the U.K. Like me here here in the USA where Carp fishing, Bait Boat using is unknown and I'm apparently the only American who found this type of fishing and have really liked it. I proved my catches tremendously with ALL types of fish. I have two JABO 5CG boats and an HYZ-100G single hull boat with four top mounted hoppers. They also make a dual hull style with two recessed hoppers and two rear top hoppers. Tried Eagle, but they use magnetic held recessed hoppers and either I got a defective one, or the design is poor. First time with about half bait limit in hoppers. The hoppers opened up as INWAS putting it into the water spilling bait all over the shoreline. They told me I was wrong. I made a video to show them. They still said I was wrong. I said I want my money back. And all of this adds up to my desire to by English made gear, but not one U.K. Based company has even bothered to respond to my purchase requests. What's up with that?
Neal Van I'm just a hobbyist buddy not a business. Why not have a go at your own? Cheap 2.4ghz FPV 200mw transmitter will get you 100 yards with clover leaf antenna. I actually made a system up with 1.2ghz fpv gear bought from readymaderc (US company) and tested out to 150 - 170 yards. Not hard to build components into a project box. Getting a good camera is hardest bit so if you have that already you're onto a winner.
thanks for reply mate , sorted power out lead going with a 600mw tx and a 1200tvl fpv camera what range do you think id get if you know mate with omni direction antenna on instead of 5.8 dipole roughly cheers
Range has always been an issue. With directional antenna I could get reliable 120 yards maybe on 200mw tx with 5.8 gig. I switched to 1.2 gig and using dipole it's not much better. I need to try directional on my 1.2 system but can live with a good 100 yard range 😅👍
how many mW transmitter are you using, I'm having problems with the range of my 300mW transmitter with tbs triumph antenna's. at 30/40 meters it's starts flickering. the antenna is 20cm above the water.
Team Nootdorp was 200mw, range not brilliant but good enough for 120 yards, as far as I'll ever fish! Actually got a 1.2ghz system these days and range isn't that much better surprisingly, but more reliable. Decent antennae would probably help a lot 🙂
Team Nootdorp not really sure, but common knowledge that water attenuates signal badly. With my 5.8ghz 200mw was using cloverleaf antenna and much better than the standard dipole. Some of the guys are using 600/800mw transmitters but I got far enough for my needs on 200mw. Also try receiver on highest mount you can get away with. I had my receiver/monitor on a long storm pole, which helped.
Getting that kind of range is going to difficult. You could try using FM transmitter and receiver rather than 5.8 GHz or 1.2 GHz. Search some forums. Mines only good to 100m or so but does the job 👍

Any chance you can post a list with links of all the parts you need

Do you know why the water makes the signal so bad? on land I easily get 300 meters

When it out??
where do you get the power lead to go in the microcat power out slot ?
Just a standard phono to phono mate, I just used a phono plug on my gubbins box on the boat to make it easy.
Hello, im looking for a cheap way to get a camera on that will go at 300m. Any help?

are you still making these pal
