SwimScout, an underwater camera for carp anglers

Why it surfaced

SwimScout is unusually concrete about the fishing problem it wants to solve: a sinking umbilical, four reversible thrusters, snag-resistant skids, infrared night vision, and a planned emergency recovery system. It is still in development and collecting interest, but the page reads like a serious prototype built around the realities of a particular swim.

A powered underwater camera system that lets carp anglers inspect the lakebed, check rigs, and watch fish behaviour from the bank.
