I just installed mine and tested it for a couple hours Saturday..I had about the same results, I moved the range out a little farther so I didn’t get to close and loose the fish in the “blind spot”. Will definitely make you be an accurate long range caster! I also had to keep adjusting the depth range, also I turned the gain up from the factory setting. I think with some practice it will great! Was very impressed with the picture quality, the fish were easy to identify! Can’t wait to use it more. Looking forward to the next video!

Thank You for your feedback on your experience too! Agree that it’s a great little unit and excited to learn more about it as I practice with it.

I used mine this weekend for the first time. You nailed the review. It will be good for brush pile fishing and crappie

Thank you for the information and my hats off to you for switching transducer on the water, I would have lost the screws and and fell in trying to catch them 😂😂

Great review. Take us out again soon.

[@Sappwildoutdoors]

Thank you! I will.

Great video. Very informative. I'm hoping to have mine in this week. I'm a kayak angler and new to the live sonar seen. Due to the transducer size, I can't mount it under my kayak in the factory transducer mount. I will have to mount it to a deployable poll over the side of my kayak. I'm hoping that it being mounted to a movable poll I will be able to compensate for some of the dead space caused by the size of the cone. I guess time will tell.

Thank you for the review. I’ve been waiting to see this in action.

[@Sappwildoutdoors]

Thanks for watching!

[@kennethlowy1864]

Thank you for your great presentation

[@robertkey7893]

Great info! Thanks! Do you need a dedicated battery for this unit?

[@MSmith-jf5wo]

I'm sure it's a Great little unit for "Younger Eyes", and great casting abilities! I was interested in the Lowrance unit, until finding out how narrow everything is on the "Live Scope" capabilities. Thanks for the review. (Guess this Old Bass Fisherman will just have to wait 'til BPS puts their Garmin 10.5 Live Scope units on sale this Xmas!). Lol

[@redfisher4132]

Thank you for this accurate and truthful video. I was almost sold until you pointed out the example of the cone limitation at 10:14. Also, although you seem to have some settings on 'auto', you need to continually manually adjust the settings so that you are using at least a diagonal half of the 9" screen. I would also being using the unit for ice fishing in relatively shallow water (10-12'), and the down imaging cone angle looks quite narrow. Looking forward to more of your videos.

[@Sappwildoutdoors]

Thank you for watching! The largest down sonar cone I found was 16’ wide when in 40’ + deeper water. I’ll update as I learn more about this unit!

[@viktor34567]

if you can, try to make the horizontal axis start at 10’, the range 70’ and the depth 25’. It’ll fill almost all of the screen.

Great review, I think for the cost the picture quality is nice. Constantly adjusting the settings would be annoying but for my use on a jon boat it will be fine.

[@HuffFishing]

Did you change any default settings after you installed it? If so can you tell us what settings you used? Thanks

[@fishingfanatic1]

Without the use of a “black box” what would be the recommended battery to use with this unit? Would a lithium battery be needed to run the live sonar for a full day?

[@icefishingoutdoors]

I run a garmin panoptix livescope I have to deal with switching cone angles once you search with forward mode gotta manually set your sonar to downview to get the most out of your sonars

[@GamedUpEnt]

Looks cool to me the only thing is I think is Lowrance should've made it to were the image fits the screen maybe they'll have a software update date , when buying new technology it's also good to wait until a year or so after it releases so all the bugs and problems can be address in the second generation or maybe 3rd then buy .

[@fishingfanatic1]

Does this unit drain the battery fast compared to a regular ffs unit?

[@ricolemay2141]

I guess the one down fall is you lose the option to get side scan with this whole set up.

[@johnv.h3888]

What is the tranducer frequincy from the 2D modus.Can you adjust it to 200 Khz ?

[@Black-March]

Does this require an external battery or is it internal?

[@rumanwork]

Please tell me what size the new sensor is?

[@dannylang7971]

What is that 45 degree angle white line in it?

[@CBGRTR]

Great pic i have garmin LS but yeah somebody is just a hobby fisherman be great for $1000 bucks

[@Bcook73]

I would save up fur garmin livescope. That sucks missing the first 30 feet

[@dannylang7971]

Don’t like that cone angle that you cannot see.😊

[@tomsmith9212]

Please mess with the settings out the box didn’t look goid
