Garmin Striker Vivid 4cv - Pt. 1 - Unboxing and Setup Review

[@lucasschmidt8909]

Thinking about buying it. This was the best unboxing I've seen on this unit yet. Very simple and easy to understand

[@IrishChippy]

Hi Lucas. There are 3 videos. This is part 1. Thank you for watching

[@user-zw1ik3iy2c]

In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens kzbin.infoUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

I am sure with a bit of practice you will get better. Thank you for watching

Hello again my dear Pascal and Eden 🍀 Seems you intend to do a deep sea fishing in the future! Great tool you got there, mine is Lowrance Elite-5 HDI, but I do like your Garmin Striker Vivid 4cv fish finder too! Good luck... Thank you very much for sharing this very great purchase in a video! God bless you and your lovely family/Ned

[@IrishChippy]

Hey there Ned. I live beside the sea, and everybody fishes. Where do you go fishing?

Great video up the Irish 🇮🇪

Haha. Luke was one of my favourites ....

Awesome stuff Thank you for taking your time to do this I really appreciate you

[@IrishChippy]

Thank you for watching. I am glad you enjoyed

[@AntonioAugusto1010]

@@IrishChippy for sure I just got the same unit and was watching your videos to learn to use it before I go out fishing

[@stunningmisadventures]

That’s a cool gadget, Pascal!!

[@IrishChippy]

Thank you girls. Fish Escabeche with my own fish soon (maybe)

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? That's a fine looking unit!!! I hope it finds you tons and tons of fish!!! LOL Good luck and take care!!

[@IrishChippy]

Hi Mike. How are you keeping. Hope to see you building a boat soon to go with your own lake.

[@elyasazizi4367]

Hello, my friend, I saw your movie, it was great. Can you give me one tip about the battery and its type, what kind of battery and what amperage can be used for the device??

[@IrishChippy]

Any small 12v battery will be fine. Thank you for watching

[@marksallai2289]

I want this one - what came with my new boat is an old black and white fish finder and it is rubbish

[@IrishChippy]

Maybe it will be a bit cheaper on Prime day. Happy sailing

[@NinoSpinner]

Che profondità si può leggere in mare? Come marcature?

[@IrishChippy]

AFAIK in traditional chirp it is 1,900' and in ClearVu 750'

[@NinoSpinner]

@@IrishChippy mi sembrano troppi 500 metri...forse in lettura fondo, ma in lettura pesci?

[@IrishChippy]

Maybe so.

[@serdarbozkurt2348]

Do you have any idea about the depth capacity in saltwater ??......for example: in med. sea

[@IrishChippy]

I haven't tested it, but the specs say 228 metres

[@alexstubbins6298]

Hi just bought the striker 4cv. In time zones I couldn't find u.k does it come under western European time zone ? Many thanks for your great videos very helpful 👍

[@IrishChippy]

It should be correct at western Europe, but that is a little used term. When it latches on to the GPS it should set the time

[@dragonslayer4327]

How long is the transducer (length measurement) Did you transom mount or mount it on the trolling motor???

[@IrishChippy]

Exactly 150mm. At it's widest point it 52mm and it is 22mm thick. The reason I know is because I measured it just now. I only put on the trolling motor for now, but may put on the transom of my next boat. Thank you for watching. There is a second video going into more detail, and I hope to do a third one soon.

[@dragonslayer4327]

@@IrishChippy Thanks you Do you have a picture mounted on the trolling motor? and a link to the 2nd video?

[@IrishChippy]

Fitting it to the trolling motor is by means of the supplied strap. ATM we are trialing it on my friends boat (on the transom) The second video should be linked at the end of this one, but here is a direct link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqbCf2etdtmBopY

[@Gabion6]

I've set mine up on my boat, when I switch it on its showing 23ft deep and the reading is moving along does it reset itself in water or do I need to do it manually? Thanks

[@IrishChippy]

I am not sure what you mean. How deep is the water? Check Device configuration on page 11, and Range etc on page 5

[@Gabion6]

@@IrishChippy sorry didn't explain properly, I've set it up in the garden best I can, so when I get to the water do I just switch on and away I go? 👍

[@IrishChippy]

@@Gabion6 Ah. If you are not able to get it in the water, there is lots of other stuff you can do. See my third video on waypoints and navigation

[@Gabion6]

@@IrishChippy Thanks will do, heading to Anglesey now weather not looking to great but fingers crossed 🤞👍

[@drl453]

What’s the length of that transducer ?

[@IrishChippy]

Hi Dustin. It is 150mm in length, which is almost 6"

[@strollmoto437]

How much do you cost sir?

[@IrishChippy]

Depends where you live. Check the description for Amazon prices

[@Rick101755]

What is the depth range

[@IrishChippy]

1,750 ft freshwater, 830 ft saltwater for the 4cv. The 5cv is deeper, because it is 500W

[@Rick101755]

@@IrishChippy Thanks

[@walleyehunter8862]

A 7ah battery is good enough

[@IrishChippy]

Yes, 7Ah is plenty good enough

[@islabirasiquijorangler5814]

Can amazon ship directly here in the philippines?

[@dragonslayer4327]

I don’t believe so (Even if they did, it would probably take for ever to get to you. That’s if it actually ever gets to you)! Your best best would be to have someone you know (who travels) pick 1 up for you Or possibly try eBay

[@IrishChippy]

Yes. It was shipped from Amazon to my address here. I think it was about $25 shipping, no taxes/duty as it is under $200

[@IrishChippy]

@ Dragon Slayer. Took about 3 weeks, but most of the delay was from Manila to here

[@islabirasiquijorangler5814]

Thank you sir @ Irish Chippy
