For a brand that have been around for so many years there is more forum questions on how it might work, than there is answers on how it does work.

User videos are even harder to find, in fact I have not found just a single one..........?

Guess the best way was to get one and try it out first hand, found a dealer in Oz that had one in stock..........purchase made, it has now arrived complete with a 10" coil. 8-)

Got an Contour action cam on the UniProbe Headphones, a combination which is working fine complete with sound....... with a mount it could possible work on the Wader also..........to be tested later.:coffee2:

Don't have a spare mounting accessory at the present so will have to improvise with a little rubber band artistry.

Sound come across real nice, so now there is good picture and good sound ready for recording if needed.

Am waiting for words from our Detector Pro dealer on a few minor issues, once sorted some real action testing will take place on our local beaches.

Got the new camera mount in place and am ready for some beach action.

A reason for holding back on some extensive outings can be seen in the picture..........slight :merror:

I wouldn't be happy. That's a long wait anywhere in the world except maybe N. Korea.

Another month went by and not a sign of any after sales service or replacement. . Am starting to question the integrity of the West Australian Importer/Dealer. . Looks like they follow the lead by DeepTech. . ivanll

As mentioned earlier, have a new camera mount in place and it works just fine. Did a few beach video tests, sound is coming across well but not loud.

(If including a picture is regarded as advertising then I can remove it.) Hopefully the long awaited replacement part will appear soon, then I can say "something nice" about the warranty service. Aside from this little plug hurdle the Wader is easy and fun to use............ ivanll
