Questions:

I viewed the ads mentioned so far and none of them actually state where the camera gets it's power source such as 12V power cord or rechargable batteries or both. Maybe I didn't read far enough.

Does the wide angle lenses distort the picture? I have seen some videos that made the fishing rods appear like willow limbs they were so distorted.

How do I mount the thing? Many look like a small box that just sits on the dash. On the other hand a tripod mount on the boat would seem in the way. Should I be looking for a body harness or hat mount of some kind?

And most importantly, can I edit or crop out back ground in the videos. As we all know, if I leave a portion of the bank showing where I am catching fish there will be 75 boats there the next day. That is why I have not considered filming before.

Thanks for the input.
