What is Down Imaging and How to Read It | Humminbird

This video explains what Humminbird Down Imaging® is and how to read it. Down Imaging uses a razor-thin, high-frequency beam to create picture-like images of structure, vegetation, and fish. But unlike Side Imaging, Down Imaging returns are oriented identically to traditional, down-looking sonar returns - with the most-recent information appearing on the right side of the screen.
We also break down the differences in 455kHz and our MEGA Imaging+™ (1.2MHz) and their uses.

Humminbird MEGA is the absolute best and most clear and precise imaging! 👌🔥

In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

Hi, I have the Helix 7 Ice Bundle, will there be something similar to this made for ice fishing? thanks

We have been fish a pond that is only 20 ft deep. What settings would you recommend for 20 ft and shallower? Also the weeds are thick.covering the entire pond...

Erick,
Thank you for reaching out to Humminbird on this matter.
We unfortunately do not have specific settings to recommend for your system as each body of water is different along with the installation and the boat that the unit is on.
With all of the different factors, we typically recommend to start the unit at the default settings. From there may minor adjustments to the different settings needed for what you would like to fine tune.
Please feel free to reply to this message should you have further questions.

Only 20 feet deep?

Nice video! 👍

Has anybody used these for shipwreck hunting? This looks like a much more affordable way tahn a $30K+ side scan unit.

My helix 9 went black screen, service in Australia is awful, currently 7 weeks with no contact.... hard earned money apparently not well spent..
