The last five years has been marked by the spread, first gradually and then exponentially, the ActionCam, known for its use in diving and extremely compact design. Being accessible to all, it has become an everyday object, from sports enthusiasts and experts in different categories; to photographers and videographers, who appreciate the versatility to shoot in extreme conditions and with very specific angles.
Recently, the Danish company SAVAGE GEAR, specializing in fishing equipment, has designed and released the Water Wolf camera, developed specifically for sport fishing. The Water Wolf comes in a bullet shape and is about ten centimetres to 1.5 cm in diameter. The camera is capable of recording video in high definition at 30fps in widescreen format. It can float on water and is completely waterproof up to a hundred metres deep and is equipped with a built-in rechargeable battery that lasts up to four hours. The Water Wolf is designed for fishing, and for this system has a very special mount, made of a thin steel cable that engages with the spindle axis of the chamber, giving the angler the ability to locate it at the end of its system of fishing.
Through a system of seals that come with the package, you can change the layout of the room and redirect it down depending on the fishing technique. Also using the float provided with the kit and leads simultaneously can keep the camera in a vertical position, then recovering towards the bottom (ideal for bottom fishing or other vertical techniques).
With these specifications it can be used practically in all the fishing techniques such as spinning and casting, documenting therefore also the launch phase due to its cylindrical shape that is both aero and hydrodynamic. It can also be used for trolling and also for vertical techniques including those dedicated to cephalopods. The Water Wolf presents the advantage of being able to float and is extremely hydrodynamic, plus it can also be used in fishing without additional mounts. In short, a combination of technology addressed to all fishing enthusiasts who want to know and document everything that happens underwater and behind their bait!
