the camera housing. The amount of weight is ideal for trolling at low speeds or keeping the camera tracking smooth in current. For added open water stability or to use as a down view camera, the fin (included) snaps into the rear of the Manta camera housing with ease.

Following MarCum’s standards, the VS820 is protected with a stylish reinforced padded soft pack case. Under the soft pack is a molded ABS hard case with a built in battery tray and a Velcro strap to securely hold the battery in place. Next to the battery is a storage compartment for the camera and camera cable. The monitor folds down flat and the padded case encompasses the entire system protecting it during transportation. On the left side of the case is a carrying handle for ease of transport.

The sealed 7.2 amp rechargeable lead-acid battery can provide up to 8 hours of continuous use during ideal conditions. Battery run time will vary depending on the condition of the battery, use of underwater LED lighting, level of screen backlight (brightness) and LCD heater system. The 1 amp, two-stage charger will quickly charge the battery back to full capacity. Once charged, a small green LED light will be illuminated to indicate the charger has switched to a trickle charge mode.

The VS820 offers a full one year warranty backed by MarCum’s first-rate customer service!

Open the top cover of the soft pack by lifting up on the Velcro closers on each side and front of the soft pack. Once opened, loosen the knobs on the either side of the gimbal bracket (at the base of the monitor) by turning each one counter-clockwise. Make sure to loosen the knobs a considerable distance. Than depress both knobs by pushing inwards and hold in place. This releases the lock on the monitor angle. While depressing the knobs with the base of your palms, use the index fingers of each hand and gently lift the monitor up to the desired viewing position and release tension on the gimbal knobs. Once you have set the monitor to the desired viewing angle,
