Very helpful review, my deeper chirp+ 2 arrived today which only took a week to get to aus from Lithuania. This video is getting me more pumped to use it and see if I'm right about my mental map of what structures I think are at in my go fishing holes. You also deserve alot more subscriber's!! Love the quality content, Keep doing you brother 😤
Awesome review Adam. It was great when you brought that into Algonquin. I love that you can bring it into the backcountry easily AND make contour maps. Wicked features.
4:09 the two prongs, one would be positive and the other negative, and the water completes the circuit, so power flows from 'anode' to 'cathode' so I'd guess it's normal, and just corrosion from the current flow. But I'm a residential electrician, so don't take my word on it, but seems likely.. I've been looking at these on bass pros website, but just bought a bunch of stuff for backcountry trips after watching some of your videos, the solo canoe ate a bit of my disposable funds.. but I am surprised at how well the sonar image shows up, I honestly thought it was more of a gimmick, when you see ones for $2,000 for a boat.. good to know!
That's an interesting idea that might explain why only one prong is corroded. I can absolutely assure you that these units are very capable and reliable 2D sonars. Not a gimmick at all. I was also skeptical but everything it promised was exactly what I needed for backcountry trips and it surpassed my expectations.
I've been wanting a fish finder for my pedal kayak, but want a bigger screen. They get pretty expensive pretty fast. Thinking about something like this and using my 7" android tablet. Plus, I could pack this into mountain lakes in a float tube or use it from shore. Might be a better option.
I would say your biggest challenge will be mounting the tablet and deeper to the boats. But if you can figure that out, these units are very powerful, very versatile, and will serve you well.
Hello, i too fish Algonquin. I was wondering if you have used it in deeper water (50m or deeper ie..Opeongo)?, and was it accurate of how deep the floor and/or structures were? TIA
I've used it as deep as 30m and was able to play with lake trout chasing my bait watching it on the sonar. My experience with this unit is so far it's at least as capable as the manufacturer claims.
I just got a deeper chirp+ 2 to do some mapping. Two major issues for me is the lack of water level adjustment, like just a manual input of at what level the water is when you do the mapping. One area I did changes from 560m above sea level to 588m. The second thing is that it will stop logging if the screen saver turns on your phone. So you always need to keep the screen active or else it will stop logging. Thats sad because it will suck the battery of your device really fast. And usually when you log large areas, you dont have to look at the phone. Other then that its seems like a durable device.
Interesting, I've never had the screensaver feature turned on so that's never been an issue for me. Like I say in the video, the phone's battery is a bottleneck so having it plugged in and charging while using is ideal. Also, interesting point about water levels. If you're aware of what the water levels are at when you're on the water, should be easy enough to calculate what the difference in depth reading should be.
Hi. I mean it should be a way to keep logging with the screen off. I case of my survey where I dont need screen active thus saving battery instead. If you continue to map over several days or weeks, water that has such high difference between low and high would turn useless because there is no way of altering the water level before or after in the final deeper map.
I've had no problems reading as shallow as 3 feet. I've also used it for fishing as deep as 100 feet. Accurate reading in both cases. Thanks for watching!
Same reason I bought myself one for Christmas, to bring into the backcountry. Is that the 2.0 boat mount? Having a hard time biting the $100 bullet for one. Have you tried it on a boat? Just wondering how well it would work while trolling or going a little quicker than trolling speed with a motor. Thanks for the video!
Yeah, it's the 2.0 mount. I have used it on a small little tinner, that's in my "Sunrise Smallies" video. Works well for trolling, not sure how well it would work going faster though. The boat mount is worth it, even with it's few flaws. I've tried a couple other ways to attach to a boat but none work as well as the proper mount. Thanks for watching and the feedback 🤘
@@QuietWildernessFishing Well that's perfect then, I only have a tinner that I would use it on the odd time, but it would mainly be for the canoe. I'll checkout the video, smallies are where it's at. Cheers

Thank you for the kind words! Really appreciate that. You will love your Deeper I promise. Best of luck!
I love the lil bloopers yall added to the end hahaha great review thank you!
Haha sometimes they're too good not to make the cut. Thanks for watching! 🤘
I have always seen these but never really looked into them thanks for sharing this review
You're welcome! It's been a great option for me. Very happy with the device. 🤙 Thanks for watching.
Always wanted to try this. Thx for sharing
I've seen carp guys in the UK use em for ponds. Very versatile units, and very powerful considering the size and price. Well worth it.
Awesome review Adam. It was great when you brought that into Algonquin. I love that you can bring it into the backcountry easily AND make contour maps. Wicked features.
Totally agree, very capable unit for its size and price. 🤙 Thanks for sitting thru that one 😁
This type sonar is the best ,plus i have a 100$ rc baiting boat pull the deeper behind in a rope all over the lake whiteout rod casting so many time👍
Have to agree with you there! Thanks for watching 🙏
Looks like a great unit for the average angler! Great review 👌
Definitely an average angler type unit. Feature packed device, reasonable price for what you get. Thanks for watching 🤘.
I bought a 8ah battery phone just for my deeper ...no more dead phone while ice fishing
That's one way to do it! 😂 How's the camera on it? That's an important feature for me as well. Thanks for watching!
@@QuietWildernessFishing it's a Oukitel WP5 camera sucks but I only use it for the sonar.
This thing last all day at full brightness.
@@MrLukaszcu that's perfect 👌 great idea.

@@torecrash6493 interesting perspective. Every use case is different I suppose!
I wish you would show the mapping better. Does it show contour lines, or just colors?
Shows very clear contour lines and separates depth by colour also. Lots of data, easy to read
I want the chartreuse cover but couldn't find it.
Thanks for watching. I got this cover with the winter bundle that I purchased. Should be able to buy separately.
I was hoping you’d say something about the nightlight the flashing light like on the Deeper first generation Thank you..
It does have a flashing light and the nighttime cap. Haven't used it at night tho.
Thanks Man👍🏾🎣❗️
I’ve Figured It Out👍🏾❗️
I seen another video on this and he was saying, not real good if the water is 6 or even 10 foot deep, what do you think ?
I've had no problems reading as shallow as 3 feet. I've also used it for fishing as deep as 100 feet. Accurate reading in both cases. Thanks for watching!
