That's his opinion. He must be pro camera lol. I've used one for quite some time. And yes it takes time to get it set right.but after some getting used to it you would do just fine. I've used mine in 25 fow on Lake Erie hard water and during the summer months. In both conditions I can get mine set up to where I can view my bait and watch it the whole time.on the hard water I'll drill a hole about 5 ft or so outside my shanty to send camera thru. I can get it set to where I can watch my lure jigging the entire time. Caught many walleye using this method and it's entertaining watching the fish.if waters murky or tons of current it can be a pain in the ass. On those days I end up pulling out the flasher.so look into before you take anybody's advice and run with it. What's good for one is not always good for another just my opinion
