Nothing that clever I am afraid. I used a stick with a hook on the end:-)
I've got a long (approx 1mtr) pearl grabber which I bought at the local
market. It's semi flexible - like a drain clearing rod - and quite handy
for things like this.
I have my Stick of Getting Things, which is a piece of bamboo cane with
a hook on one end a magnet from a disk drive on the other.
I have my device for retrieving cameras dropped from the bridge into our
river by careless tourists...
3' of murky moving water is visually impenetrable.
A length of rainwater downpipe with a circular glass window sealed to
the end with insulating tape. A short length of stiff wire formed into a
hook visible through the glass completes:-)
Neat, but are the cameras actually worth retrieving? I suppose people
want the memory cards back?
River Lea water, probably not:-) The original was made for a 35mm reflex
job. The plan was to rinse with distilled water but they didn't come
back with an update.
