Lowrance Active Target2 vs. Garmin LVS34 Comparison On the Water Forward view!

[@zcookie9272]

Humminbird M360 Garmin Livescope Lowrance 3D structure All 3 together. Nothing can beat it

[@patshively6094]

I like my Garmin LVS34 all day long VS Low

[@Joshua_Matthew_Fishin]

Russel Marine setting the bar high! Always doing outstanding work!

[@bassmasterbrewski7392]

So many more things to compare. Honestly I wish y’all would set the range to 120 and see which one tracks an Alabama rig better. Or even a big swimbait. I orderer the at/2 already but my biggest want is one that tracks baits the best and from the furthest range

[@TeamJesusOutdoors]

You guys do great work on these comparison vids! Keep up the great work!

[@craighuxley3803]

Thanks guys, I am in Australia so our fishing is a bit different but your comparisons are invaluable because you clearly don’t favour any brand.

[@RussellMarineProductsLLC]

Our pleasure!

[@davids-o2y]

I think they're being far too generous to Lowrance.

[@KatManDew931]

How about a comparison of the HDS Pro sidescan with updated chirp frequencies vs the Garmin SideVu on the Echomap ultras?

[@ryank5388]

Why does the AT2 seem to bounce more from chop? Does garmin have stabilization software that edges out AT2 or is it transducer position? Great video

[@DJ-on3cc]

Yes Garmin has stabilizing software

[@jayb7675]

You guys sell these products so you can’t bash one over the other. The 34 is far superior. It’s not close at all. But let me ask you. Have you ever seen a guy with all Garmin units use AT or even Mega Live? Of course not. But you do see Bird and Low guys have a dedicated 3k Garmin head unit and $1,700 LS transducer. No way this would happen if they were “the same”. It’s not close at all.

[@285proxl5]

They are definitely close with factory settings. With that being said I know that's what Lowrance guys have said they like its right out of the box with no adjustments and the adjustments don't really help it. Garmin needs adjustments out of the box but once set rarely needs adjusting especially with lvs34. And you can reduce that noise tremendously on Garmin and not suffer losing detail.

[@chaguie07171959]

I run 3-Garmin Echomap Ultra Graphs w/ Livescope on my boat. And after owning Lowrance HDS and Humminbird Helix graphs, I can truly say that for me Garmin Echomap Ultra Graphs are better. Also, I like to tinker and fine-tune the graphs because every body of water is different and to get the best image quality you need to do that. Garmin allows me to do that.

[@Everydayfishing]

Maybe I'm biased because I have the LVS34, but I think Garmin is still well ahead of the competitors with the clarity, noise reduction, and definition in these images. I just couldn't recommend going with any other live imaging... LiveScope is still the best.

[@joshharvey9926]

I so can't decide I want to rig my boat with forward facing sonar but can't pick one so frustrating!

[@royfletcher8548]

Up here in MN if it’s not a lake master chip it’s going to be wrong… most guys outfit their boat with all birds for the maps, side imaging and chirp. Then run a dedicated garmin screen for live sonar.

[@JJsiahMoto]

Second this

[@royfletcher8548]

@@JJsiahMoto when I was younger I trusted a garmin unit for mapping near the gap on the Rainy and lost my skeg

[@cclawman]

Are you comparing the Lowrance on 60' forward scale and the Garmin on 75'. Wouldn't that make the the Garmin more compressed?

[@rodneydryden6902]

Thanks for the comparison as nobody else is doing this. Only thing is comparing different images. Put them both on the trolling motor for just this outing, one on either side so they see the same thing. Obviously both will do great with not showing noise alone, that's been shown, and doing it this way will show interference but who cares. An apples to apples view would be awesome.

[@davids-o2y]

Thank you for another great video guys! I am very biased! I WANT Lowrance to have something as good as LVS34! This is not it! I'm very disappointed! I was waiting for this before upgrading my Carbon units. I will be selling off my Lowrance after seeing this. It will now be years before Lowrance gets something better.

[@JR-ho5qm]

I hope Lowrance comes out with a update for a color palette that is like Garmin with the white background and blue, red, yellow fish.

[@leeyarbrough9636]

Garmin has this buttoned up an has since it’s been out. Hard to see the fish on lowrance clear as day on lvs34 for sure.

[@dustinevansfishing]

Great video. Thanks for the spots but i see why the bass wouldn't bite on them, sore lips 😅

[@dudemcgee256]

To me the Garmin is WAY better here. I don't own any live sonar, I've got Humminbird graphs on my boat and am trying to decide which brand to go with. I was really hoping the Humminbird mega live would be better than it is. Looking like it's gonna be Garmin for me.

[@davids-o2y]

Me too Dude, me too. I will be selling my Carbon units and getting LVS34.

[@VoyagingVoyager]

5:40 - garmin shows a giant school of fish, lowrance shows 2 fish. Garmin trounces lowrance here.

[@chrisfoley3320]

You guys are ruling the sonar world,one question please, do you have to have separate power on the Garmin unit and the live scope or does the unit get its power from the black box.

[@paulrash8861]

The 93sv, has been rock solid for an entry unit, I'm saving up for live scope transducer,😂, but it's worth it to me

[@rdkerne]

What about delay when tracking a lure? Is the AT 2 on par with the Garmin?

[@RussellMarineProductsLLC]

it's darn close! sometimes we feel like it's slightly behind garmin, other times slightly ahead

[@richardcrawford6287]

The 34 by a mile. You can see the fish better. Some of them you can see the tail moving. I would take my 32 over AT any day.

[@jasonstokley7274]

Lvs 32 is not as detailed as AT2. My friend I crappie fish with has an Lvs 32 and brush piles look like blobs on the bottom. I can see individual limbs with the AT2.

[@ryank5388]

On closer look I think we are just seeing the effects of 18 vs 20 degree cone angle. You see more of a tree on the same screen because you are seeing a fatter slice of water on one screen.

[@jamespowellii1191]

Have you played with the Deep water Garmin XR transducer? I am curious how much better it does when you are a couple hunred feet from the boat, especially in clear water of the Great Lakes.

[@SteveDouglastheCatfishDude]

GOOD INFO GUYS

[@Fishingforbasstv]

Garmin LVS34 100% without a doubt is much better.

[@maxcole3930]

Hummingbird definitely has 360 over everyone. I don't think Lowrance 360 is that comparable because u lose trolling motor control to use it! Even if it's for a moment, it has to constantly update for accurate positioning so I think design is bad & not well thought out. Like they just rushed something to try & have something close. I'm curious if Garmin will ever do a 360, I'm not sure?? Hopefully they do. I'm not running 2 separate brands on my kayak. I'm staying with a single 10 graph!

[@OGBRADASS]

I'm updating the UHD2 as we speak. It is a lot faster than the original UHD models, which was what I was hoping for. Original UHD are just terribly slow.

[@PSPSALES]

I want Lowrance to catch up really bad, as I've been Lowrance my entire life, but Garmin certainly looks better. Every time I see Garmin, I want to switch. I'm on my 3rd Live Target transducer (they just quit working as well). I've learned they're really fragile, I guess. I've wasted a huge amount of time trying to make the AT work for me, and I just can't. Really bummed on this AT2 demo.

[@chrisvdsteltvanderstelt6045]

[@PSPSALES]

Update.... I've switched to Garmin way back in February 23. Best move EVER..... Livescope is 1000x better than Active Target. I've fished from Canada to Mexico this year, and absolute success with GARMIN. Throw your Lowrance in the TRASH !!

[@m14hh5]

If humminbird ever gets the same image quality then they will be well ahead with the target lock feature.

[@Bogeypro256]

Can you do a comparison of included hardware, specifically the mounts. And maybe look at availability of after market options, as well...

[@jrainey44]

If that 34 screen is cluttered due to water clarity, I must be fishing a mud hole. My 34 looks like absolute crap. But we're also in the middle of pine tree pollen so there's always that.

[@djl2033]

good job..do it again under ideal conditions

[@Eric-bh6ie]

Lowrance did very well considering the unit was moving all over the place

[@rickaurand5384]

Is AT2 as good on live as it is on the new pro? Thanks for a great video 👍

[@RussellMarineProductsLLC]

yes it is

[@xShadowWolfe]

You guys must sell Lowrance because even at @4:38 the picture is just so much better on the lvs34

[@crappieworldlivescanner1114]

Garmin is still the king you can see how the Garmin still can look through the objects and see clear behind it .Garmin has had that since day one.

[@megabassg5831]

It’s not a true comparison so is hard to say . They should use the same pole for the same angle in the same time to get the same information. Also comparing both using factory settings is another joke ….

[@fueyang3391]

LoL.. yeah, you guys may say AT got better and catching up a little to LS but lets be honest, if you guys had to choose only 1 unit, you'd probably go with LS. But by all means, please tell me I'm wrong and you'll choose AT or Mega360 over LS.

[@craignelson1127]

Garmin is clearly the better image.

[@glxbe]

Maybe if you're an expert on reading these, you can say they're similar, but as someone with almost no experience with FFS, there's no way anyone can say ActiveTarget is remotely comparable in terms of seeing those fish. They're almost nonexistent

[@fragelicious]

Garmin is obviously clearer. Look at how Garman doesn't make trees look straight like active target does. It's not even a contest to me.

Yes they are. I own an AT2. My buddy who I crappie fish with has a Lvs 32 on his boat. The AT2 is more clear than his Lvs32. A brush pile on his Lvs32 looks like a blob on the bottom, where as with the AT2 I can see individual limbs

[@DrGargani]

I have a different perspective on this: given that everything is relative, it is obvious the Garmin has a better image, but here is my take: they both suck! that's right....I am spoiled by the ROCK SOLID CLEAR CUT PICTURE that I get on my SI, DI and 2D......that live view jazz with the constant jumping images, I find it grating to my eyesight.....There is no way I am going to spend 4-5 Thousand Dollars to have something I have to squint at....I am waiting for ALL of the live image companies to reach the screen resolution and look of Mega SI/DI

Но надо отдать должное АТ2, как показали обзоры, у него на много меньше слепой зоны у дна, чем на 34 датчике гармина.

[@СергейМалых-ц7ь]

Скорее всего Лорик уже не догонит Гармин. Гармин номер 1 в области живого сканирования. Зато лоуренс король среди бокового сканирования в моделях бюджетного и среднего ценового сегмента! Хочется войти в мир "УЗИ", вот и ломаю голову что взять АТ, АТ2 или Гармин Паноптикс. Сам владею FS9 и разница в цене входа в этот мир будет значительная если просто докупить какой либо датчик для Лорика и если брать комплектом Гармин! Делема!!!!
