Hopefully they’ll improve this so we can run it on a separate pole like some folks do with Hummingbird 360. For those of us running Ulterra trolling motors. Thanks for the video.
I guess if you locate structure and it’s not too windy, you could do a quick scan just to see a different perspective. Let’s say a crappie brush pile. If you have a Ghost, Lowrance head unit and a 3-in-1 this is a no brainer. All you need is a free software update. But I certainly would not buy all those items just for this feature.
Thanks for putting out that demo. I already have all the hardware so I'll have to try it in spring. I'm not sure how useful it will be if I have to give up all boat control to do scanning. Wind will blow the boat all over the place.
Great explanation and update to this Lowrance hardware. Opens up at least a static way to scan around and not involve another device or pole. Assume if you have compatible sonar units linked by NEMA cable one can put motor down then drive around with outboard and do periodic scans creating marks on map.
This is a nice feature, but to really be competitive they need to release a standalone rotating transducer to free up the trolling motor and make it available to more anglers who run different equipment, not to mention kayak anglers.
I love lowrance but this is garbage compared to humminbird mega 360. What’s the point if you can’t troll or anchor. Basically dead drift scan. can’t control your vessel while it’s in use...unless you have the big motor running or the poles down. I was excited for this too. Lowrance you guys could have done better
Fantastic video! Love that you are out there during the winter still making these videos. Gonna watch more videos to try and find this answer, but how do you get your bearings for where structure is to make a cast. Is your point always pointing at 12 o’clock or do you need to add a gps point and the line up boat?
Added the 3n1 to my Ghost but my side scan and 360 are just blurred. No detail or images. Getting some down scan or sonar just nothing based on side scan.
no, it has to be a ghost trollingmotor as the new update spins the head of the trollingmotor to rotate the transducer and display it correctly on the screen.
Doesn't seem very practical. I guess its better than not having it or trying to run 2 different systems that interfere with each other. Good to see other companies bringing competition to the market thou.
its available now, all you need is the 3n1 nose cone: www.russellmarineproducts.com/Lowrance-Active-Imaging-3-in-1-Nosecone-f-Ghost-Tr-p/000-14900-001-low.htm
Just purchase mega 360 and a bird or add to your bird you have if compatible to loose function of trolling motor is not worth it sad lowrance can’t do what hummingbird can and sad neither of the 2 can match garmin live scope for forward facing live technology

I think patents prohibit them from doing this, but I think this is a genius way to beat Humminbird's patent, and I run a Humminbird Mega 360.
Thanks guys for getting out to show us this much appreciated thanks RandyB

Just a smart spotlight scan that was a good thought but look at it now.
can you adjust the speed of how fast the head unit spins?
Yes you can! It has slow, medium and fast speeds.
Added the 3n1 to my Ghost but my side scan and 360 are just blurred. No detail or images. Getting some down scan or sonar just nothing based on side scan.
so it`s just a sides scan which is turning
I looked for the update on the lorance site and didn't see anything for the 360.. am I not looking in the right spot?
So you lose the trolling motor temporarily to get the 360 view? lol
Once you press the Scan but does the TM complete a scan and stop or continually scan until you stop it?
It keeps scanning until you stop it, or engage the trolling motor!
can this also work if you put a 3 in 1 on the bottom of any trolling motor ? cause pretty much same transducer ??
no, it has to be a ghost trollingmotor as the new update spins the head of the trollingmotor to rotate the transducer and display it correctly on the screen.
@@RussellMarineProductsLLC so the trolling motor will be running while it scans. Or do it just spin the head and the prop dont spin.
Kann ich den Geber auch manuell drehen ohne Trolling Motor?
Can this be done with the regular 3-1 transome tranducer
never mind seen in another post.

👍👍👌🔥
What distance are the rings on screen?
We had it set to 40Ft!
When will this be available and cost?
its available now, all you need is the 3n1 nose cone: www.russellmarineproducts.com/Lowrance-Active-Imaging-3-in-1-Nosecone-f-Ghost-Tr-p/000-14900-001-low.htm
So this is not the normal 3-1 active image tranceduser ?
How do you feel this compares to Humminbird 360? Seems pretty second rate compared to that?
So you have to have the Gost? Any way we can get this to work with kayaks in any way?
Just purchase mega 360 and a bird or add to your bird you have if compatible to loose function of trolling motor is not worth it sad lowrance can’t do what hummingbird can and sad neither of the 2 can match garmin live scope for forward facing live technology
what a waste! disappointing
