So here's the scoop... over the years, I have gathered 3 different cable lengths for my Aqua Vu - 50 foot, 75, and 100 foot.  With winter coming I want to use the 100 foot cable.  Problem is both the 75 and 100 foot cameras have condensation problems after several minutes of being lowered into the water (on the glass in front of the camera lens) .  Obviously everything gets blury and it is basically useless.  

Now, I can remove the metal band and open up the rubber camera casings and remove the glass to provide accesses to the electronics and camera lens (I have done it with the 75 footer when a wire needed re-soldering) and then reassemble with a new circular hose clamp around the glass and rubber casing, but I need somehow to make sure that moisture does not get trapped inside.  Obviously at the factory they inject a gas before closing it up.  And as much as my wife feels I have more gas than any man should, it's not the kind I need. (Sullivan, don't even go there!)

So what can I do to eliminate moisture from condensing inside?  I know that some products make use of desiccants(look like sugar packets) that absorb moisture, like silca gel beads, etc..  - does any one think that would work?  There is a little room inside for one or two packets.  Or does anyone know any other possibilities for eliminating condensation inside electronic components?  

Rev,

Thats one reason I use a graph instead of a camera. If its not the fog its the battery problems, cable issues, etc.

Stick with the basics you will have more fun.

try water displacement formula #40, better known as WD40    an excess may cause a foggy view.  just joking, hope ya find a solution.

If everything is truly glass in the camera - lens and cover, then 95% alcohol would work well. It sucks up water and evaporates quickly. But if you have any plastic, it will definitely blur.

Cool! learn somthing new everyday!
