By far the best LiveSight video I have seen. You have 537 views and some of the pro's have views in the thousands. It should be reversed as yours is way better than their videos.
Hey thanks James! I really appreciate the feed back! The whole point of these videos is to provide a type of in depth, comprehensive step by step training that you just cant find anywhere else. I'm hoping by early next year I will have my website www.lowrancetrainingacademy.com up and running and will have far more videos to explain anything you could ever need to know about all the different Lowrance products! Thanks again!
Just dropping a thank you in here. You have really helped me out! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Well done, I actually learned something about the transducer upgrade. Didn't even think about that when I upgraded the head unit.
Thank you very much for the video!
You made my life a whole lot easier!
Great Job on the detail needed to make this work!
Great info with clear and precise instructions. thanks for the user guide.
the best video out thank you God bless you
Awesome run through thanks. Can you please do a video showing the custom mount you speak of?
thank you grate info
This is awesome info, I actually own the livesight and fish out of my kayak!
Kai Wong what kayak do you have this on
Live Sight looks like its not ready for prime time yet. At least not compared to Garmin. When you were showing the down view it looked so laggy and basically not very usable. I would love something like this for vertical jigging lake trout at about 60 FOW, but I have serious doubts about how useful it would be in the current Lowrance implementation.
Great job! But you should start a Garmin training agency. The LiveSight technology from Lowrance was outdated before it was even released as its most similar to Garmin's 2015 Panoptix. Garmin LiveScope was introduced in June/18 and there's NO comparison! It instantly made all of the other technologies outdated.
Yes I agree. The Panoptix is significantly better. Its also more expensive however. I worked for Lowrance for a long time and do marine installations for Lowrance products so I really don't know too much about the Garmin products or have access to them to make videos.
Yeah but i also would rather spend 800 bucks instead of 3k
@@ryanbrown3152 You know this comment is over 4 years old, right?
darn good video. I'm going to get the hds live 9". I have the gen 3 now. wonder if I can download livesight like you did on this video?
You can on the HDS Live. Tho most likely any new display that you buy will already have the software on it at this point but not always. Just depends how long it was sitting in stock somewhere before u bought it. Of course you also have to purchase the transducer as well to go with it. So yes it will on the Live but not on the Gen3.
Really like your videos. Please do one on transducers, placement, types, and what to expect from each one.
Ya I can do something like that. For the HDS?
@@nightanddaymarine8823 sure, as well as for the Hook2 . Covering the bullet, splitshot and tripleshot transducers.
@@ralph5469 I just posted one for the 3n1 Active Imaging and plan on doing one soon for all 3 Hook2 transducers.
Which plug do I plug it into the one on left facing the screen or right.
Hi, one question, do you think the live sight sensor is better than active target for trolling
Hardware Unboxed intro music. 🤣 Great info though. Thanks
I have livesight on my kayak as well! Can we see how you change the livesight from front to down view? Would love to make the same setup! Video was great!
Thanks for the comment. If you skip to around 18:30 I show how to do that in the video. It's under the Livesight Sonat Installation menu in the internal sonar settings.
Night and Day Marine No I meant the actual mounting hardware you used to rig the transducer.
@@Ryan-vj9us oh I see. You use the angled metal piece and tilt it all the way up as far as it will go and for the down view you use the black plastic piece with the hose clamps. But as of now I dont have a video showing the mounting of it yet.
Night and Day Marine When you get time to do that, it would be very beneficial to see how you can quickly change to those views.
hds12 live rog edition hey?
What kind of kayak do you have this mounted on? I’m looking to set this up on my Hobie Pro Angler 14 and what size battery do you have ? Awesome video by the way
It's a Hobie out&back. I took 2, 7 amp lead acid batteries and hooked them up in parallel. I then took gorilla tape and taped them together and made a handle on the top to make them portable.
Altho I would use larger batteries if you want to be able to run a HDS 12 Live for the entire day. Mine only runs for about 6 hours at the moment.
Night and Day Marine so would I be good with a 35ah lithium lipo4 battery?
@@chriscaluori3102 oh for sure as long as its 12v.
Thanks man , I’d love to see how you have the HDS 12” set up on the outback. I have a HDS Live 9” on my pro angler but I would like to upgrade to the 12”
Do you need two transducers you have both down and front with livesight?
No it's just one transducer. You just tilt it up or down depending on if you want forward or down view.
Night and Day Marine ,.'i
Where did you mount the live sight box on your kayak?
Well I actually built a custom mount for my transducers so I could swap them out easily for the videos. They just hang over the side of the kayak essentially attached to a metal pole that is then attached to an L bracket that's bolted onto the kayak.
@@nightanddaymarine8823 I was actually asking about the box… not the transducer
@@dmvbronzebackyakker oh I gotcha. I just put it inside the locker box at the front of the kayak. Epoxied a flat wooden box on the bottom and bolted the SS module to it. I have a Hobie Mirage OutBack so it has a large storage box in the front
Why didn’t you just hit support and let the unit update itself and all components?
At the time that feature was not available to update the external components like a transducer thru wifi.
lots of air bubbles going up isn't it?
