For gutter clearing it needs to be waterproof, reliable, durable and easy to fix onto the poles

Has anyone used one of these Aquafed camera/monitors?It doesn't say anything about them being waterproof and the camera life is only just over an hour?
I have also looked at SkyCams which come out at nearly £600, Screens not as big, Dont need the night vision, But has 3 hours operating time.
The Wifi on my Iphone is greyed out so I am unable to use the Gopro Idea.

They seem a pretty reputable company SmurfMost wifi cameras being sold now at a silly high cost for so say gutter cleaning are just wifi baby recorder/monitors.
I've used hard wire systems before with bullet cams of a much higher spec as that before but found the cable to be a real pain in the ****.It would output live video or recorded video to any screen of any kind as long as it has video input, could probably get it on your phone.
I've also tried other types of so say wireless guttercams which were usless to put it bluntly as were cheap & nasty china **** that did not last me very long.They seem a pretty reputable company SmurfIts £250 on there website:

Not knocking you though as you've obviously done a bit of homework on them before deciding to go with the go pro.
What would you recommend apart from the Go pro?

The gopro with an lcd touch screen fitted is not perfect by any means but does what I want it to do and more importantly wins me loads of work.
That's about what I paid for a hero 3+ silver by the time I bought all the other bits for it.
I'm sure you could pick up a good used hero 3+ silver with a bacpack very cheap from the likes of gumtree or fleebay if you bide your time.
I usually just go up and down the ladder as I go along, But this house is very modern glass fronted with wide box guttering like something off grand designs so don't want to take risks. And I believe it would be a good investmentIf you go back and read this thread you will see all the bits I had bought for it.
