Has anyone seen or used this?

I came across it at Farm and fleet today. It is selling for $59.95.
Just wondering if there are any reviews yet. It's not a Vex but is alot smaller and less expensive.

That's what I was thinking. Size doesn't matter if it doesn't do what you want it to.

I have one of those, i like it, your right its no vex, but it does the job, like any tool you just have to know how to use it. I finally figured mine out, it shows the depth, and then the fish on the screen, top, middle, bottom, you have to judge where the fish are by looking at the depth, and where they are on the screen, a couple of beeps, means smaller fish or several fish, big long beeps repeatedly means a big fish, didn't know this until it was going off one early morning and as i was watching the screen trying to figure out what was going on i heard my pole move towards the hole almost lost it, but i did catch a really nice 20" walleye, so for the money its not a bad tool, shoots through the ice to tell you how deep it is, wont show fish through the ice, but if you dont have money for a vex like me buy one, just dont expect it to work like a vex thats all.

Ken,
Can you get the four-zippered sun-shield/case that comes with the scout? I have an Atlantis camera that looks to be the same size as the Scout...Only the buttons on the monitor are configured on the bottom of the screen and not the top. My monitor doesn't have a shield to block the sun. Couldn't see anything in bright daylight.
