I used this video camera http://www.goprocamera.com/ with the "Normal" Lens.
The quality of the little thing is pretty good. The only down side is if you don't have a laptop handy you really don't know what you shot. Their is a viewfinder but in the positions I mounted the camera it would be impossible to look thru it. Next time I'll have a better idea of what I'm really shooting
2007 Dauntless 180

Interesting angles. I'm not familiar with the camera. The videos were impressive and the engine was very quiet.
This all coming from a guy who can't wait to get rid of his 225 Opti's...

You should hear it with the speakers turned off. Even more impressive.

I did not pickup much on the volume because I forgot to remove the mic plug from the water proof box. I'll be shooting more video this coming weekend now that I understand where I need to position the camera

The transducer spray in the videos was a big surprise. Woah!

Yes it is, its not the normal rooster tail. I need to hang off the back of the boat while my son drives it to see what is going on. Its seems to be also kicking up from the starboard side underwater light which I don't get. The starboard side of the engine is being sprayed. I might just need to make a small shield like I had on my Montauk 170. I never loose bottom.
