I see someone answered you can see 6 to 8 feet in regular lake water but how far would you have a clear picture out of the water?

When I got mine I used it in my basement and could see the wall and the stuff hanging on it at thirty feet. It might go farther but that was the longest distance I could get there.

It's clear up about 15-20 ft. You can see further but it's hard to make out the object because the image gets smaller as you look further.

If you have a good line of sight I would say about 200 feet, which we are currently doing.

Not so good if you're trying to see several feet away. Better if you're within a foot.

I get about 500 feet on a flat dry lake bed. I use it to trigger my larger fireworks remotely, safer that way.

I only have it about 15ft away, but I had to make the picture smaller from that distance, soI would imagine you could put it further if you wanted and it would be fine.

You can see out to maybe 10 feet. It isn't a great camera because it's purpose is to aid in hooking up you trailer. I find it to be like back up camera on my car It is adequate, but you still need to know what is behind you.

The camera will not trigger that far away. I would say 60 feet is the max. However the field of vision is much further than that. You would get clear pictures out to 150 feet I would estimate.

As any light would, it falls off softly as the distance increases. We have woods behind our house about 50 feet away. If outside, we can see into the woods a ways. If a flat level ground, it might be useable over 100 feet. This is at a brighter setting which is adjustable. The light is more like a flood light than a spot light.

Ooh! I would say about 10-15 yards is where your image first becomes clear. You can not adjust for that. The first mag setting is 4 times normal sight, so its "zoomed" in to start with. U Willard a blurry image within 10 yards.

At least 8 feet maybe as much as 10 a little hard to tell with it already installed in boat went around several corners

Almost 10ft, 9ft 6in. Can be seen at Dick's Sporting goods. only for lake use not ocean, whitewater. Bought for safety reasons since we have a lot of crazy drunk power boaters around. Hope they can see orange thru their red eyes!

Within 15 feet, I don't have problem seeing it. However, when it's 25 feet, I can't really see. When it's at 40 feet, I use a binocular :)There is another same product with yellow/black target that might do better (not at 40 feet)

2nd answer. If you mean the closest distance you're able to focus at? I can only guess at about 15 to 20 feet. If you mean the closest distance you can calculate by using the mildot system I would again guess as close as you can get a clear focused picture. Mine gives me a very clear picture fifty yards and out but I could not honestly tell you the minimum useful distance. KT

Atleast 8 inches from the water if not more. It's almost like two spot lights.

I would say approximately 10-15 feet before you start loosing any type of brightness. As far as the accuracy of color rendering....that is subjective to the shooting conditions...

It depends on the distance. This device is nice but will only give you clear image in the range of up to 50 yards. Beyond that things will not be clear and recognizable.

I am amazed how clear and sharp the photos are at a distance of 100' plus during day light hours. At night it's a different story. The subject has to be fairly near to get a good picture. I would guess between 25 to 50 feet.
