As a dealer and installer I have run all brands for years and wish all companies could do Si chirp and 455 non-chirp on DI. Since chirp came out seeing crappie deep in the brush and tight to bottom is much tougher for all my crappie customers. Some of the competitive guys are running older Lowrance and HB Onix units for DI alongside their newer units for SI. The standard 455 on all brands gives fish as the old "football shape" vs the more "slash" of the Di chirp units. I still use the 455 chirp range for DI. It's surprising Lowrance choose to not have it an an option on DI. After many years of looking at screens I think it's still the best Di frequency.
My old gen 3 lowrance with LSS2 had the best downscan ive seen to this day. My new lowrances the downscan images always seem compressed from one side of the screen to another.
@@ggw7948 I ran the exact setup for a year. When Humminbird came out with Onix I switched only because everything on my boat was HB. There hasn’t been di since chirp came out that is as good IMO. I’ve installed and ran them all but it’s still a statement I’ll stand by 😀
Keep it coming. Lots of people depend on guys like you with that much time on the water to give honest opinions on what they're seeing. Lowrance does a good job, but it's hard to make buying decisions based on what you see from the guys making and selling them. However, when someone who could run any and all units they choose offers some insight with plenty time behind the screen, it's a much more practical assessment of what the units will and won't do !!!
The new HD 3n 1 definitely looks really good, Russell marine did a bunch of direct comparison with it vs birds mega+ & the GT56 & all the live sonars. Their all just so good now. Hard to declare a true winner in side imaging anymore!? The whole fish reveal thing seems kinda gimmicky to me. Maybe it's legit? But using software to say this is a fish instead of just using knowing how to interpret the 2d, down, & side imaging seems unnecessary. Exspecialy for the price tag that comes with fish reveal for side scan ducer& module! If you wanna add the new 3n1 to your live units it's gonna have a very high price tag for the ducer & module also, might as well get a new pro unit. Which is what Lowrance probably wants people to do.
Been seeing a lot of interference with clumped electronics and wiring. Especially when u mix in forward sonar. Ferrite beads on all the wires going into the units and wrapping clumped cables with faraday tape helps
Lowrances new HD 3-1 craps on Hummingbird mega. Saw it in person on an HDS Pro this morning. Holy shit, I have a G4N Helix 10 and mine looks old schools compared to the new Lowrance.
Garmin FFS is really really hard to beat…. Have seen it vs Lowrance, for me personally, Garmin is better. Obviously I’m not sponsored or get paid by either, if I were buying a unit tomorrow I’d buy Garmin. Lots of great features, great FFS picture. Your results may vary.
Something’s wrong with your rigging, or turn off down imaging. My buddy had his HDS 9 pro out with HD 3-1 and the side scan was the BEST pic I’ve ever seen. Granted if fell off around 60ft, but damn it was clear.
I don’t like the split screen. I want too see the whole image. I like Kyoya Jujitas idea. More monitors. Two in front two on left and right side, 2 monitors looking down, and 2 monitors on console. That is a total of 10. That would be perfect, plus another couple of monitors not forward facing sonar……❤❤❤❤
Hummingbird has had the game on lock for mapping and side imaging since they released mega imaging. Period. Not up for discussion. Its been surveyed thousands of times. With garmin leading tge FFS game and Hummingbird with Mapp and SI i dont see a need for Lowrance units. Ive had both and Hummingbird drills Lowrance on SI 10 fold.
@@bradsmith873 You look at that garbage video he just uploaded and all the garbage vids of Lowrance side imaging. This latest and greatest transducer here doesn't compare to my 12 GN4 MSI and they've had this mega imaging out for a decade almost. Mapping and mega si is absolutely swamped by an Apex 12 or Solix 12. Even a Helix which is the lowest resolution they offer is walking all over it. Hell go look at the thousands of comparisons videos man. Its been surveyed thousands of times. The MLF is majority sponsored by Lowrance, all the cup event boats have them thats the reason these guys run em. Lowrance has a better operating system hands down. The user interface is way better ill admit. The target separation and overall distance of clarity on Hummingbird SI is untouched by any other company at the moment.
Paid to lie - what he doesn't tell you is there are 6 versions of the transducer, he is showing the capabilities of the HD active imaging 3 in 1 - high/wide - SI/DI with Fish Reveal $1500 transducer - does not come with any head unit. These capabilities are not even an option on the lowest 3 versions of the transducer - base transducer $450 +tax. Fake like fake news.
a lot of jibber jabber on this video. A "first look" or "first impressions" is a waste of time. Go learn the units and report back decent feedback to your follower....how's that for free advice?
Fishing has degraded, theres very little true fishermen left, its all about using most advanced technology to get them without any issues, why not just go to a grocery store and buy it ? Whats the point of fishing with all these screens, transducers and everything else if its not your skill but your technology that is catching this fish?

We've been comparing them side by side and it's pretty interesting
Wait, is this new HD 3-1 Transducer doesn't have 455??

Thanks, Jacob! Love when you do electronics review videos; especially when you're transparent regardless of brand name.
1 question: will you use it in the next MLF stop?
Love the electronics videos. Keep updating this as you make adjustments please
Did you add a Sea Clear Power Harness? It will greatly improve clarity of your images.
Nice!! what is the depth that can handle perfectly active imaging 3 in1 plz?
Hello, is this the Lowrance hd 3-in-1 MW Fish Reveal or the HW Fish Reveal.
Why are you using two graphs for side and down sir? I would use the 12 in that scenario for just mapping. I’m guessing you have the 12 dialed in
Is there good u tube video that shows where the best spot for transducer install spot on boat?
Yes it’s on my channel

Awesome explanation man this is excellent!!
Wish I could understand side scan, I
Have a hds live but not very good at using it as a tool
Plenty of videos that can help. What are you not able to wrap your mind around?

Android vs iPhone.....its all about user interface. They all work.
Sortof, humminbird, garmin and raymarine side and down imaging has more setting than navico.
Why not just get hummingbird for side and down and mapping and garmin for foward .
I think the lowrance forward is better for me personally. Humminbird has too many software issues and glitches I only use it for the mapping.
Hands down lowrance mapping the best

would of been cool to see a bit more screen .. so we could get a better idea aswell :)

Ha trust me birds have fallen behind the only reason they are on my boat is due to mapping

it's still harder to see fish off to the side though on mega...
''10 fold'' difference. Thanks for the laugh!

This makes your boat price go to what 150k

I’m removing all Lowrance off my boat. Garmin and Hummingbird are much better quality in my opinion..
