underwater drift camera advise

hey all got a few questions for those of you with drop down video cameras.
I have been thinking of getting one for some time but I don't want to buy a dud.

any advise appreciated.

are they any good?

what brands are the goods?

what sort of price is fair?

are the ebay ones with the 7 odd inch monitor any good?

can anyone post some footage with also the name or brand of unit?

thanks in advance

 Watch out for the actual depths the cameras good for most of the unit will easily go twenty mts only but sell with 40 mts of cable for ,deckie bought the same camera only online for $120 , just need to source a screen , I looked at the serious made unit good for 60 mts for around $2200 just depends how keen you are
