Hummingbid playing catchup. No thanks.

but LVS34 has been out for almost 3 years now (March 2025), honestly it looks good, but should imo be better even if its only slightlhy. you watch Garmin is going to release the LVS 36 or something in 2025 lol.

Good stuff I just ordered mine…

If you're a bird owner with a ll helix units you'd have to scrap just about everything in the network and buy new because the explore and mega live 2 won't work with helix (and solix gen 1) units. Then do you buy a explore and mega live 2 or garmin with lvs34? To use the helix units and to keep it all bird products the explore would have to be a stand alone unit. Then it's no different than a stand alone garmin unit. Sad that they didn't make the explore backwards compatible with helix units. I think because of that people are going to go with Garmin which has been on the market for awhile now and most bugs are worked out where as ML2 and explore has lots of testing still to do to make sure it's working as it should. By that time M3 will be out and Garmin will have had theirs (LVS??) out and bugs worked

One thing to keep in mind. These are not available to the public yet. The only way to get them is to be sponsored by Humminbird or hired by Humminbird to do a video. So take the results with a grain of salt. I fell for the same thing with the original mega live. I didn’t realize all the videos I watched were put out by people who were sponsored by Humminbird

Thanks for the comparison video. Mega live 2 for myself

Where can I get the Garmin Bulkhead Plug? Thx. John Jacksonville Fl

what humminbird has is Minn Kota. And decent SI. But w/o Minn Kota they would not exist as a company. I do very much like the follow the contour function etc built into HB+MK trolling motors. I'm sure Ghost can do something similar but their market penetration as of 2025 is 5% compared to the amount of MK trolling motors on boats currently. Maybe 1% of currently deployed trolling motors.

How does pricing compare between the two?

So what do you recommend. If you needed to buy a screen and the livescope. Would you do hummingbird or garmin? I’m buying a new boat and new electronics. I was going to do Garmin Livescope with hummingbird 360.

so the brand new MegaLive2 has finally reached what Livescope 1 has been doing for years?...golf clap for Humminbird?

Its ok, but way far away from ‚this is it,! Not even close impressed

Nah im gonna wait until i get a picture that looks like an underwater video camera. Then theough the magic of bluetooth and AI it casts my lure to the fish when i decide i see one worthy. Thwn with an Ai generated algorithm moves the lure in the most likely way to draw a strike. Then all i gotta do is reel em in! Now that will be a fiahing experience second to none.

Try using Apex. More graphics details than Xplore.

Which hand pole mount are you using w the Ultrex ? I have target lock now but all the weight of equipment has significantly reduced too end speed and looking to reduce weight and still maintain functionality

Humminbird Ripped Me off $5000 for a Pile of Brand New, Obsolete Helix Live1 Junk The High Class Organization then Blocked me From their Channel for Pointing that out

Looks horrible so much work

Sorry to much work to do the like fish is much chopperall th e time

That hoodie💯

So the latest greatest is as good as the competitors product that’s been out quite awhile.

Question….on the M2 screen compared to the Garmin, seems like a LOT of glare on the ML2. Like the old plasma tv’s. Seems that would be annoying. How was it for you?

Totally pissed they obsoleted the Helix. I have 2, not even paid off yet, and they're now paper weights. Very pissed.

They made a large improvement but haven't quite equalled Garmin.

can you get the blue background with the HB?

I will stick with Garmin. The bird not much better.yet.

Which mount are you using on the bow? Thanks for the video

Gotta love how hummingbird amd lowrance release new units.....but aren't compatible with what you already have. Definitely a wow factor....WOW as in wtf!!! Sorry still competing for 2nd place and comparing something that came out in 2022 to their "new" product......shows how far advanced Garmin is and its affordable, and can use on A LOT of their units which are half the price😂😂😂

Unfortunately, Mega 2 isn’t compatible with the Helix series.

Just saved tons of money and went with a garmin LVS 34 bundle for almost half the price.

Thanks again Brendon for taking the time with me about your video . I'm excited about Mega Live 2 and will be looking for more videos with other on the water scenarios . I will reach out to the Tackel Shack for pricing once I decide this spring . Tight lines !

This is a horrible comparison or even a review, there is no educated premises just opinion of how impressed you are. No explanation of how it’s better besides how the target separation is better. Even though the fish are intermingled in the structure lol😂

I do not understand why people think there is a difference. It's all Garmin technology. Lowrance and hummingbird are licensing it from garmin. They're not doing anything special garmin owns the patent. Only thing I can see is that they are having different release schedules and I don't blame Garmin Garmin is going to come out with theirs first and then let the other ones have it.

I’ve never heard of anyone who has used a hummingbird and a Garmin say the hummingbird is better !!!

That Doppler color looks real good to my eyes. Cool video y'all 👍🏼

Not sure I understand your WOW opinion based on examples shown in this video... You showed a jig at 55 feet, sure hope ML2 can do that... THE REAL TEST: Put a 1/8 oz jig under a bobber 10 feet and keep backing the boat away until one unit can not show the jig.

Thanks for the breakdown

So the only thing all of us humminbird guys have to do is get rid of everything we already own and start all over by purchasing the new stuff 🙄

Hello! A poor comparison should take place on at least Ultra 2 and not on old Garmin hardware. You are looking for a comparison of Garmin to Humminbird, but honestly HB has no chance for a long time. And if Garmin releases a novelty, HB will not only clean Garmin's shoes as it does now, but will also wear them

Yes!! Total flop😂😂😂😂😂😂

Mega2 is more clear but the 2,5 years old 34 still shows more details.

So humminbird mostly caught up to Garmin, except bait tracking is still kinda poor. Honestly been a Humminbird guy and still own 7 units, but I just bought a Garmin LVS34 after seeing these videos. I can buy a Livescope for $900 complete vs $3000 for Humminbird? No thanks

Watching you compare the lure tracking between the two, much easier to see on the Garmin. You lost the bait in the first half of the water column on the ML2 where you could see it enter the water and hit the bottom on the Garmin. Keep in mind you’re comparing a 2025 product in ML2 to an almost 3 year old product with the lvs34. If the rumor mill is true about Garmin dropping another version of livescope 🤯

GARMIN has the government patent and they have 2 new technologies all ready built there always 2 steps ahead just wait for the new GARMIN

We is the Explorer an Mega Live 2 coming out

Thanks for braving the weather to present this. I have ML1 as well as LVS32 and LVS34 and used them side-by-side. I crappie fish and fish for Stripers (and Hybrids) most of the time. While the range on ML1 was not as good LVS32, I found ML1 was acceptable fishing in open water. Crappie fishing with jigs in brush piles was a different story. The Sensitivity on ML1 had to be turned up very high in order to see the 1/32 oz. Crappie jigs. The high sensitivity setting would blow out the details on the brush piles and made the ML1 performance un-acceptable. ML1 did a poor job also when the algae appeared … could not eliminate it and still see the baits. The next time you go out, spot lock over a brush pile and drop a small jig in it and check out the view.

Just wait til GARMIN comes out with their NEW UNIT IT will blow this away and they allready have it ready to roll

Great video mate, I’m waiting for the Humminbird ML2 to arrive in Australia late January, I just updated my Solix G3 with the latest firmware update and it is very impressive.

Great video. Thanks for braving the elements to give us an early look at Xplore and Mega Live 2 compared to the LVS34

Я разочарован в колибри.

Awesome video! Have you used it in down mode? A lot of us Northern folk jig vertically in the winter in down mode but some lakes have a bad interference ring
