In MarCum's tireless quest to engineer the most technologically advanced ice fishing electronics, the category leader also recognizes the call for functional, durable, user-friendly technology that satisfies the needs of the casual or occasional angler. This alone justifies the role played by our stalwart VX-1Pro. For the weekend warrior, simplicity is sweet, and that's the VX-1Pro instruction manual in a nutshell: Open box. Turn on.

But with 1,000 watts of power, interference rejection system, and zoom, the VX-1Pro boasts features not found in competing systems costing hundreds more. Like its "flashier" brethren, the VX-1Pro also comes complete with a long-running 12 volt 7 amp battery, battery charger, and a padded soft pack. Entry-level? Yeah right
