Happy Cow i-Spy Rays 777-273 Underwater Camera Boat Review

Pros
- Really an amazing toy for the price.
- Remote controlled boat, powered by two motors. Can move forward, backward, right, and left. It's controlled by your phone using common 2.4Ghz WiFi.
- Built-in 3.7V 250mah battery provides approximately 15 minutes of operation per charge. Can go longer if you use the motors sparingly.
- Automatic On/Off switch. Just place it in the water, or pick it up to turn it on or off.
- Bottom underwater camera includes an automatically activated search light, and remote controlled up/down gimbal. Video is recorded at 640 x 480 pixel resolution at 30 fps.
- Predicted range of approximately 15 meters (about 50 feet). But this range varies depending on the strength of the WiFi signal from your phone. I got a bit more than 50 feet with my phone, and still had very good signal strength.

Cons
- Video is not stabilized. Use in water that's relatively smooth for best video.
- No GPS return to home capability. If you drive it out of range or until the battery dies, hope that you got a boat or know how to swim. i.e. keep an eye on your app's telemetry information to prevent this from happening.

That is one cool toy, and would be cheap at twice the price!

Beautiful ❤ only for calm water though isn't it? I feel that power hole would be a danger on the sea

This looks like a good unit for hunting Mermaids and Bikini bathing beauty's 🤔🤣👍😎

What the heck eh?? We'll give it a go. Should be able to boost that range a bit. It'll be fun either way.. Thanks.

Lake Erie...yeah, the water is kind of disgusting there. Edit: Are you up around the Cleveland area?

[dms]

that would be great for squid fishing ....

[BrianChu]

Interesting. but won't that generate a lot of heat inside? no way for that price it is water cooled. only one way to find out :)

Okay so I've seen a couple of reviews on this but nobody has done a salt water based overview and nobody has done a review in over a foot of water. Soooo.... will this "toy" work in the Atlantic seacoast environment? Can I scope the an area for scallops or mussels or crabs or lobster? I may buy one and give it a try next spring... it's way to cold and miserable in the North Atlantic this time of year.
