NightBoater

Yep, you absolutely can. Lots of people using that option lately!!

WaterEnjoyer

what type of battery is in it? is it easy to swap? I know it is rechargeable.

NightBoater

NP50 normal camera batter. Yes rechargeable and yes you can swap them out. I bought an extra 3 pack for $11 on Amazon

So, if I buy the current "sport" tonight, will there be a software update to the current sport version to be compatible with my current (2) 12" Simrad Evo3s on my dash as you say the next sport will be MDF compatible?

NightBoater

Hey TroutRunner, no way I can make that promise to you as I'm really not sure how this integration is going to go (software, firmware or hardware). To be really honest and fair I think you best approach this that it won't integrate and if it ends up, then it's a bonus, but if it's not able to then you won't be disappointed. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you, but I'd hate to have a disappointed customer.

thank you for sharing

Anyone have more feedback on this? I want to pull the trigger...

NightBoater

Do it . Also, feel free to do a search here on THT there are several awesome threads on the product. Also, a THT user named Chris just sent me a few photos yesterday too. Here they are!

I got mine last night and played with it some. I was impressed with the quality of the night vision. I want to use the camera to boat at night, but I'm having wfi issues. The wifi keeps losing connection, and when it's connected it's super slow, which means you can't use it to navigate. Hoping to work some of the kinks out.

NightBoater

Shut off your bluetooth and that will make the connection stable

Also, the wifi will stream at 20 frames per second, should be pretty smooth, I cruise in the 30s no problem with mine.

WaterEnjoyer

that is exactly what i would use it for. Very similar area.

i'm on the fence with this and another product.

How well does show unlighted structure such as jetties ( Gov cut or Haulover in Miami)?

MayhemFT

Thanks! I'll give it try. Overall pretty impressed for the money

When you mention it is connected using WIFI versus Bluethooth does that mean it won't connect where there is no cell coverage? In other words does this help you see at night if you are running at night to the canyons?

NightBoater

Watch this around the 8 min mark, we're filming in Miami past a bridge .

NightBoater

No, no. Wireless connection from the device to the iPad or tablet - no cell service required.

Did you mean to tell him to turn off WIFI??

Bluetooth is how you connect two devises wireless,

WIFI is a way to extend wired connect or LTE

NightBoater

No I mean't shutoff bluetooth. We connect via wireless (wifi) to the device. Our camera makes it's own hotspot - it provided a better data transfer rate than bluetooth.
