Incredible! Definition like that is a game changer!
WOW Mike,I like that definition on the machine..... very clear
It’s very impressive. Especially when you consider the cost. It’s the same as a Totalscan transducer and plugs directly to the display.
Looks like a winner....I’m going to have to play lotto today 🐟🎣🐟
smokster0604 ha. It’s actually not too bad. Less than $300 depending on which version.
mike i put the active image 3 in 1 transducer on because the total scan ate a floating log . Im having a ton of trouble with it . 1 it wont read depth on the chart screen . 2 it looks nothing like yours on side scan and reads 10.2 feet in 50 feet of water . I did the latest 22.2 update and the same . The other thing im getting is Invalid Radar overlay .I have a 12 inch and a 9 inch evo3 networked but both have the same update installed . The other transducer is a through hull ss75m . ss i think is because its stainless rather then B for brass
Im willing to bet it’s plugged in port 1. It needs to be in port2. Be sure to select THIS unit in sources on the display active imaging is connected to. In valid radar can be a few things. You might have the wrong source selected. The module might not have power to it. Check for the lights on the module. Third can be a bad NMEA wire. Let me know if these help.
Do you have any video of where and how you mounted the transducer? I’m impressed at the speed it was still mapping 22mph.
Mike Ullmer sure. There is a Transducer video on my channel. Just a dozen or so videos down the list.
Also I can’t get the side scan to work,may be part of the problem with choosing wrong transducer possibly,thanks mike for any help
ACF- Atlantic Coast Fishing Yes. It will work after the update.
What is that model you have there? Got an amazon link?
Sure. amzn.to/2DyiPUN. amzn.to/2Bs18pO With transducer amzn.to/2ErP9ug
This is the 12” display amzn.to/2GY9QPn
I would like some advice which frequencies should I use to fish for snapper on a seabed ranging from 50 to 90 meters with the 3 in 1 imaging probe?, high chirp, medium chirp, 83, or 200?
Hello !
Great video
Is the fish clearly visible at the bottom?
I choose between the new humminbird g3n and
Simrad GO9 XSE 9" Active Imaging 3-in-1 , help me Please
Иван Мир definitely go with the Simrad. You won’t lose a single thing going away from HB’s Side Imaging, but you will LOSE BIG-TIME if you walk away from Simrad’s D2 CHIRP sonar.
When you were scanning at 5mph and then scanning at 20-21mph on pad, the scroll speed seemed to be the same at both speeds. How is that possible? Is there just a delay of info on the screen at the higher speeds(20-21mph) and it will eventually catch up or is the image on the screen just stretched out? Thanks for any info and please keep the videos coming!
jason wagner Yes and Yes. You’re pretty much right on. The biggest difference between this Transducer and other structure scan transducers is PING SPEED. I don’t know exact numbers but the PING SPEED is a lot higher. This gives you super high resolution at slower/medium speeds and increased resolution at higher speeds. At faster speeds you will lose some resolution because targets aren’t “pinged” as many times, but this transducer pings so much faster that there is much less “scrolling delay” than past models. So basically you will indeed lose some resolution at higher speeds and there will be a bit of a delay of the scroll “history”, but it’s nowhere near what it was with the earlier side and downscan transducers. Hope this helps!! Thanks brother!!
Mike, could you show us how it looks in shallow water? My definition of shallow water is less than 10ft. That would be very informative. Thank you for demonstrating the capabilities of Simrad on the water. Very helpful!
Kevin E Hendges will do brother!
I have same setup but for some reason my side scan won't show more than five feet on each side of boat.the rest of the screen is black.even with it adjusted to one hundred feet on each side.the sonar screen works perfectly.any thoughts or tips.i had the Evo 2 but touch screen stopped working so simrad let me upgrade to the 3 and I installed 3 and 1 transducer.i had the lss2 transducer with the 2 and side scan worked fine.
In your opinion, is it better than the current 3D setup?
Morgan Overstreet I cant honestly answer that just yet. The resolution IS way better than the 3D Side Scan thus far.
The resolution looks so much better than my Go9 w/ totalscan....is this a better result because of active imaging or an Evo3?
Brandon Stoner it’s the Active Imaging Transducer. The Evo 3 Display is of course a higher resolution screen, but it’s all relative. You will see a major difference in image quality with the active imaging transducer. I believe it will available in a regular structure scan type transducer and a total Scan type that comes with chirp sonar as well. They are called Active Imaging 2in1 and 3in1.
Totalscan is trash. Can't wait to upgrade this year.
You will be very pleased with the new Active Imaging 3in1 👍👍
So do you think I would get just as clear as imaging on the go9 as you are in this video with the active imaging 3 in 1
Joe Schwartz The Evo3 has a much higher resolution screen than the Go series, so it won’t look exactly like this. I have seen one on a Go Display and it looked really good.
Is it worth replacing a total scan transducer with this new active image one?
William Davis I really do believe so. I have used both and the side scan on the Active Imaging had MUCH better resolution than the Totalscan and it also had MUCH better resolution than the 3D (in Side Scan mode, of course). Now the Active Imaging Transducer I used here was a 2 in 1 so it did not have the 2D sonar elements that give you CHIRP and standard 83 and 200khz so I was unable to compare those.
The 3 in 1 Active Imaging Transducer is definitely designed to replace the Totalscan.
Is it already available to purchase? Because I did not see in any e-shop yet, only pre-orders :)
zygleg I have seen quite a few listed that look to be available now, but I don’t think they are yet. I would imagine it would be a month or so.
Thank you for answer I have thought so.
My apologies if I missed it, but do you have a video where you go over the settings you use to get these images? Like TVG, noise rejection, etc? My images never seem to come out so clear and crisp.
Chad Baudoin I don’t really have one just on the settings only because there aren’t very many. Noise rejection always OFF. TVG reduces gain near the surface where tiny particles can appear huge. I tweak the TVG during the day, if you set it to 0 it will be a little noisier, but you won’t miss any fish close to the surface. It you set it to 3 it will be crystal clear, but you will definitely miss fish in the top area of the water column.
Do you have a 3 in 1 or Total Scan?
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS I have the total scan. I originally purchased my unit with the HDI 455/800 transducer, and recently switched it out for the Total Scan so I can do side imaging and High Chip down imaging, but still be able to use 455/800 sonar, and now it seems I can never get anything to show up with this thing. Not sure if the frequencies and settings I'm using is what is causing that. I was just wondering if they may have been a base setting I could start with to try and get images like this. Ill move my settings to the ones you suggested above and mess with them from there. I appreciate you taking the time to respond!
Chad Baudoin Sure brother, any time. It’s because of your Transducer, this new Active Imaging Transducer is a whole other ballgame. It will work with a Go Series and Evo3. 👍👍
Will you show structuremap?
Sure, I could do that.
Where are you attaching the transducer on the transom? my totalscan never read bottom on plane. Thanks.
IMTipSea I keep mine quite low. Keep following edge of transducer slightly lower than leading.
Mike,
I have a NSS16 EVO3 and I ordered the Active Imaging Transducer. I hooked mine up and the Echo portion works but the side scan doesn’t. Did you have to update the Unit before it was able to work? I’m currently running version 18.2. I could really use your help.
NautiKnots Unfortunately, there was a set back with the software so it won’t be available for at least a few weeks or more. Hopefully it’s sooner.
Did you have to update yours to shoot this video?
NautiKnots I am a tester so I have abridged software versions.
Do you think that’s my issue?
NautiKnots I know it is. It won’t work until 18.3 is out. I know it. stinks. I have quite a few buddies waiting on it as well. Hopefully it won’t be too long.
Another question brother. I have dual nss9 evo 2 units w/airmar 60 and also the 3d. I'm want to switch out to the 3n1transducer. Should I do away with 3d in your opinion. I never use 3d much. Thanks
Jerry Evans Unfortunately you cant use the 3 in 1 with Evo2. It only works with Evo3 and Go series. I know it’s stinks because that Active Imaging is the best side scan I have EVERY seen on ANY unit in ANY brand. I have a buddy in your same boat. He added a go display with 2 in 1 Transducer that he uses solely for active Imaging Side Scan.
Ok. Thanks. Then should I be able to switch frequencies on the structure scan I have. I doesnt show a frequencies option like when I'm in echo. So I'm not even sure if it's on 455 or 800
How prix
Mike- i have an evo2. Which transducer type do you select for the 3-in-1? i can't get it to accurately read depth
It should select automatically. Only Totalscan will work with Evo2 not active imaging
Is this the kind of resolution I can expect with this transducer on the HDS and Elite line of Lowrance units??? If it is Yahoooo. I will be getting one ASAP or I might wait a little longer for when LiveSight comes out.
On the Compatible HDS, yes. I believe the Elite has a lower resolution screen so it will be greatly improved, but it won’t look as good as this. I’m not up on all of the Lowrance specs, but the Elite is similar to the Simrad Go series which is lower resolution than the Evos.
The Live units will have the high resolution screens.
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS Thanks for quick reply
jp040759 anytime brother!
Hi Mike
will this work on nss7 evo 2?
I still have lss1 so im well due for an upgrade.
Hey brother. Unfortunately no, only on Evo3 and Go.
how do you get the image so crisp. min looks nothing like this. any tips. do u think the s5100 helps with that?
Kris Brown The S5100 is only for CHIRP sonar. The Active Imaging doesn’t connect to it. I will do a video on my Side Scan settings soon. 👍👍
About how deep is the machine good till
Its the same as the previous versions of side scan. We use it at every depth up to 150 feet deep or so, I personally haven’t used side scan any deeper, but some guys do.
Is this a new unit or an update. ?
It’s a new Transducer and update. It will be available in a regular structure scan transducer and a 3 in 1 Total Scan replacement.
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS will it work on an evo2 as well
Is this an upgrade over SS3D?
It has improved image quality over the side scan in the 3D yes, but it won’t have the “3D option”. It will not require a box like the 3D does. You can plug the Active Imaging Transducer directly to your display and use both if you wish.
What transducer do you select under the “select transducer tab” on a go9 xse?I just bought one and don’t see which transducer to select,I have the active imaging 3in1 but that’s not one of the options
ACF- Atlantic Coast Fishing The Go only has the one port so the source won’t have other options. It will automatically find the transducer because it’s an X DUCER. It will not work until you have done the latest software update though. Definitely do it now.
Mike Smedley Thanks a ton for the help,it has been driving me crazy.Love the videos brother and next time your down to Kerr Lake hit me up.I have a house at Henderson point .Would love to go out with you guys some time
Yeah Man!! Shoot me an email. Mikesmedley9@gmail.com
What transducer would you select on a Simrad Evo 2. I can't seem to get it to work correctly
Im jelous i want so badly
Trevor Quinnell it’s really nuts!! You’ll love it brother!
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS its seriously a beautiful image it produces
Mike, would this new transducer work with my Go7?
jonnyboy513 yes sir. It’s available as a regular structure scan transducer or in a Totalscan like version with chrip added.
Mike Smedley sick!
