Mega Side Imaging Settings

In our hands the best mega images are obtained using side imaging ranges of less than 100 ft.

Mega side imaging settings.

At the same time the mega imaging frequencies have the shortest useful range of the imaging frequencies. This last setting i use when i have a lot of debris in the water or a lot of grass that is making it hard to see the density of the bottom and contours of creek channels. Tim goes in depth about the differences between the 455khz 800khz and mhz mega frequencies and what each can do for your overall image quality. The transducer is a lot smaller than the mega so they must have found a way to get mega type performance in a smaller cheaper package.

The mega imaging frequency 1 2 mhz provides the highest resolution available in any side viewing sonar application yielding side images with unprecedented clarity and detail. In this episode of slime quest tv i do a hummingbird helix side imaging tutorial on settings contrast sharpness and also how to get your transducer level. Mega side imaging and down imaging are built into select humminbird helix and solix models as well as select minn kota trolling motors. The helix 2d setup can have multiple pages so i ll just address the big changes.

Mega side imaging new the power and imaging detail of mega side imaging has been moved down into the helix 7. Favorite 3 2d down imaging side imaging 2d di si. Unlike standard side imaging sonar this unit will show you more detail and let you uncover 3x more output in the most precise detail. The tricks to side imaging are a combination of sensitivity contrast and frequency.

So mega imaging is a short range high resolution technique. You will get unparalleled underwater clarity coverage up to 125 feet on both sides of the boat. For the shallow water angler access to crisp clear side images makes locating structural elements and the fish relating to them easier than ever before. Mega should get you at least 100 ft of coverage on both sides of the boat.

Helix 2d sonar setup. From freshwater to saltwater bass to tarpon nowhere is off limits and no fish is safe from its incredible clarity.
