You still need to the black box for the lvs32 transducer you had to me confuse had to look around for answer
Hello.
It's Rene (Anton Bouth) one of your new student of SS2 & 1.
I am still learing the course SS2 with any practice yet.
Give me good suggestion
which sounder with side view of which brand would you recomend me as I am to explore the fish and fish them in depth starting from 5 meter till up to 260 meters.
Waiting for answer i stay..
Keep it as nice as always be good and take care you all..
Mr. Rene.
Ryan: oh it's a little fish
Me: it's the size of a baby whale 🐋 🤣
Could you classify 'inshore use' please? ie How deep are we talking ?
Did you say you can use livescope without the black box? I find that hard to believe.
Ryan,
There are 2 different Panoptix LiveScope transducers. The LVS12 (@ RRP $799 which is standalone and can plug directly into the back of the Ultra headunits) and the LVS32 (@ RRP $1,999 the “Panoptix LiveScope System” which comes with the ‘black box’ to sit between the transducer and either the UHD or Ultra headunits).
The price of the LVS12 looks very inviting, however it has major limitations compared to the LVS32. The beam angle of the LVS12 is only 30x20 degrees compared to the 135x20 degrees of the LVS32, meaning the volume of water and area of bottom structure scanned is less than a quarter of the LVS32. For example, in 3m of water and in LiveScope Down mode you are scanning less than 1m of bottom forward and aft of the transducer. Additionally, the LVS12 does not support the third LiveScope mode - Perspective Mode.
So although it is possible to plug a LVS12 LiveScope transducer directly into the back of an Ultra, it is only a toy in comparison. For full Livescope functionality you need the LVS32 with the substantial processing power of the ‘black box’.
When trying to help a mate decide whether the cheaper transducer would meet his needs, I prepared a substantial document with detailed diagrams explaining the differences in the 2 transducers. I discussed these differences with Garmin Support and my assessment was confirmed. I will email the doc to you for your perusal and if you think it is an accurate assessment, I am happy for you to share it with others to help in their decision making process.
Cheers
Ken Henry
@@kenhenry439 Thanks for that Ken, thats answered my question perfectly.
The tube with the handle on the top is the bracket for livescope transducer. www.ryanmoodyfishing.com/understand-fish-movements-with-garmin-livescope/
Do you see Barra on shipping channel markers often?
Sometimes when the time is right.
Great video Moody! Perfect range of sounders by Garmin. 👍🏼
Hi, I'm looking at getting a sounder and doing some fishing on a bit of a budget say more entry but possibly to mid level.
Choice is between two sounders in mind, Garmin Echomap 95sv with 56 transducer, or Garmin 753xsv then buy the 56 transducer separate.
I know the 753 has 2 inch less screen, but resolution is supposedly better. Is it to a real benefit though?
Which would you buy out of the two?
Are you able to select a spot on the side imaging like a structure and set a waypoint to that spot?
Eric G yes mate although I normally do it a bit differently. I explain it in my Sounder Skills 2 course. www.fishsmarter.com.au/products/sounder-skills-2/
hello. super video. do you think the clear vu and sidescan functions also down to 60 meters with this transducer? thanks
I am about to pull the trigger on the echomap ultra 105sv, with gt54 transducer.
But I am hearing the clearvu (downscan) has problems with blind spot.
Can you shed any light on this?
I don’t know anything about a blind spot sorry. Perhaps you should ask Garmin.
How to place a frequency cone on a screen?
Last name Moody here too
Can you tell me how to change the direction of where my boat points on the Nav charts. I want mine to always point forward and for the life of me I can’t find it. Can you assist?
It’s called course up not north up and it’ll be in your navigation menu. Maybe google your brand and call a dealer familiar with that unit as each unit brand has different menu and different terminology.
Ryan... how do you rate the humminbird helix sounders?
I use Garmin because they are leaders in the field. As far as I’m aware they are a reasonable. Best for use in the estuaries due to the frequency of the transducer. It’s been a long time since I’ve used a Humminbird.
Can the sounder pick up something large like a croc under water?
Yep. We have some great Sounder shots of crocs.
What’s the best hz for about 10m 455hz or 800hz?
Hey Darren, we answer questions just like that and more in our Sounder a skills 2 course. www.fishsmarter.com.au/products/sounder-skills-2/
Hey Ryan,
I just upgraded to the 12.5 Ultra, does the 56 support the 3D live or is that a separate transducer?
Hi Dan, Ryan doesn’t jump in here that often but I’m pretty sure his Panoptix is a separate transducer but to be sure you might want to give a Garmin dealer a call. Sorry
@@RyanMoodyFishing thanks for the quick reply! To easy I’ll give them a call.
So what’s the best Garmin for deeper water .?

Hi, how did you record video from the echomap ultra screen?
FisherProSpin yeah once we got out there we realised the ultra doesn’t record so to showcase the transducer we plugged the GT54 into another unit we had in the boat. Seems the bit we explain that got left on the cutting room floor. Watching it again now it does mislead so we will amend the video and repost. Thanks heaps for picking that up. Last thing we want to do is mislead people.
Hi Ryan.
Just read your reply and think there may be a simple workaround to record video from a Garmin Ultra. I won’t have the opportunity to test it out for little while but will try as soon as I can and post results.
In principle, use Garmin’s ActiveCaptain app to mirror the EchoMap’s screen to an iPad/iPhone and then use Apple’s built-in screen recording function. Here’s the Apple Support how-to link. support.apple.com/en-ca/HT207935
There are then a number of methods to get the recorded video off the iPad if your video-editing software is PC-based. Here are the 3 easiest I am aware of:
1. Email the video file to your PC;
2. Transfer the file via DropBox or a similar app; or
3. Copy the file directly on to a USB/Lightning flash drive. Here’s a product link www.apple.com/au/shop/product/HNTM2ZM/A/sandisk-64gb-ixpand-flash-drive
I am guessing there maybe a similar option if you are using an Android phone or tablet.
Cheers Ken
10:40 I noticed dirty water meeting clean water is this a creek mouth?
The end of the Hinchinbrook channel.
@@RyanMoodyFishing thanks
When you cropped the sidescan footage was it because you were using the gcv20 like at 2:49? To me it appeared as though the footage from the cropped sidescan was noticeably better than the sidescan when you could read gt54UHD. At 7:29 you swapped to the footage and said it was from a calm day with no run but not that it was taken from the gcv20. If this is the case, it's not really a fair review in that the gcv20 is a separate purchase...
Jake Saunders thanks for your query mate but we made that video ages ago and can’t recall what we used. I just don’t have time to go digging out the old footage sorry.
@@RyanMoodyFishing All good, I double checked and the footage from 7:29 onwards is definitely from the gcv20 as 8:20 lines up with the shot from 2:49. I've just gone through the process of getting a sounder and there's a heap marketing material to wade through and decisions to make. When you see misinformation about a product I just want to flag it so people can have realistic expectations and to make it easier for them to make a decision. Not to tarnish Garmin either, tbh i think the Garmin 84XX are probably the best sounder out there right now.
Jake Saunders yeah mate the 84’s are the bomb. Be nice if everyone could afford one.
Overkill for a kayak fishing rivers and bay up to 2-12 metres?
No should be perfect for kayaking in 2-12m mate. Just make sure you get the UHD transducer currently the newly released GT56. www.ryanmoodyfishing.com/what-sounder-should-i-buy/
@@RyanMoodyFishing thanks mate. searching for jew in a river system no deeper than 6 metres (mosty 3-4m)and river 80m wide you'd leave this model on high def over 455kh when it comes to sidescan and set to like 20 metres or so out each side?
@@allinski hi mate, that’s not the frequency I’d be using in that situation but we explain all that in Sounder Skills 2. www.fishsmarter.com.au/products/sounder-skills-2/
Hey Ryan , could you anchor up & fish that same location where u caught this Barra with live bait...?
Yeah sure mate.
Thanks for replying Ryan...🤙
He goes over it in depth in the barra basics course mate.
Thought you were selling that boat?
Yeah we are getting another one built. Few weeks away yet. Once the new one comes on line we will be selling the blue boat. Wife says I can't have 3.
Hey Ryan, what is that tube that seems to be linked to your outboard? Starboard side at the transom.
The tube with the handle on the top is the bracket for livescope transducer. www.ryanmoodyfishing.com/understand-fish-movements-with-garmin-livescope/
This is first-class. Thank you very much!
Hey Ryan, I've just done the Sounder Skills 1 course, but I've noticed there's a few things that have no changed, with the GT56 being released.
The GT56 doesn't appear to like having the higher scroll speed as opposed to the GT54. Is this due to the maximum CHIRP frequency on the GT56 going down to 1,000kHZ as opposed to 1,200kHZ?
Hi mate, we have also upgraded to the GT56 and find it works the same although there was an update on some of the head units speeding up the scroll speed and I now run my 8412’s on speed # 8 for side scan.
Via the comments it seems like you’ve had experience with the 8412 aswell. My questions is would you go the 8412 or an eco map ultra 125sv?
Knowing the 8412 is roughly $1000 more expensive
We run 8412’s in all our boats now but it depends on budget.
@@RyanMoodyFishing thanks for the reply, so what you are saying is if I can it’s a good idea
@@tylerroberts5493 yeah they have better screen resolution, can take a dual frequency 1KW traditional transducer, fully livescope compatible. My mate Paul can explain the differences and do you a good deal if you fill out this inquiry form. www.ryanmoodyfishing.com/fishfinders/
@@tylerroberts5493 make sure you select currently in the market for a new unit and he’ll contact you.
