How To Use 3D Imaging on a Raymarine Element & Axiom

- Many fish finders have 3D imaging capability but many people don't know how exactly to implement into their fishing. Let me show you how I use it on my Raymarine Element (also works with the Axiom and any other brand that has 3D capabilities).
*Sorry for the occasional audio chop in this video. There seems to have been some type of issues. Hope its not much of an issue.

This was really helpful. I'm not so much of a fisherman myself, more interested in (fascinated by) anything in the underwater world and so far this is the only video where someone just looks at the objects on the bottom instead of finding fish.
The only other videos I could find where made by the manufacturer themselves but I found it hard to believe that the images were actually that nice but it looks really promising.
*Looks good even in daylight **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it was exactly what it was described to be , works awesome , overall happy with product*
Well done sir, appreciate the time and effort that takes! Ordering my Element 7 tomorrow!
If you can, for sure go with the 9 for the extra screen real estate. It makes a big difference when in split screens.
Also get a good battery. I went with the Wilderness systems heavy duty and it lasted about 4-5 hours with default settings from Raymarine. You can decrease screen brightness and tweak sonar settings to consume less power.
@@ChiCityYaker This was my question and you answered it. 7” screen is great for one screen, but to split the screen into 2 or more sections, you need a bigger size IMO.
Great job on all your element videos it’s really helpful
So how do you know how big the fish are that you are scanning on the 3D imaging? The feedback seems to just come back as a group of dots. How would you know whether those dots are a school of bluegills or a school of bass?
We should be fishing in Lake Michigan some times
I'm on it almost all the time
Great video bro! I've got the 9HV, thinking of the 7S just for charts!
Great tutorial bro. How you like stealth rod holders I brought those too.
Thank you sir and I don’t use them actually.
OK, you covered the element MFD unit Any information about axiom MFD. unit. I have the axiom 9, looks like the element is a better unit. I fish saltwater only. Thanks for the great information.
Have you decreased the scroll speed? I adjusted mine down to 50% and it seemed to have some odd effect on 3D. It basically stopped showing the suspended depths of bait balls and such. Everything went flat against the bottom.
nope. I don't think its really necessary so I leave it at 100%
ChiCityYaker You’re correct. It’s not really necessary. I was just tinkering based on some comments from Jim McGowan from Raymarine. He mentioned in a video that he tuned it down when on his kayak.
Hey does elements keep memory data of what you just went over and add to your screen if you were to run around the same area? Axiom holds data in 3d and creates the picture of the floor while moving around. Question is does element do the same or just a straight line ?
The Element doesn't. That is one major feature in 3D that separates it from the Axiom.
What is the mount you are using for your Element?
very helpful.
I'm trying to decide between the Element 9 and the Garmin UHD 93sv any thoughts? Thx!
I've never used a Garmin so I can't really give a comparison but I do thoroughly enjoy my Element a lot.
Can you change 1khz or 350 when using chirp? Thanks
Bud it's a great vid , but check your connections , the unit should not do that, and no it's not a camera problem, a ground problem looks like what's happening 😊
Too bad the image is blinking in this video
Why does the screen flicker on Raymarine units, I've noticed that on several videos about their units,they all flicker. Dont know if I like that .
Its the camera. not doing it in person
They flicker because of the method used to dim the display. It's called PWM, short for Pulse Width Modulation. It's a cheap method that is commonly used instead of the superior voltage regulation method that doesn't produce flicker. The display is lit by a backlight, and in all modern displays, the light source is LEDs. If you turn them on at the nominal voltage, they emit light at full brightness. To decrease the light intensity, either voltage control or PWM can be used. PWM turns the LED off and on fully at a high frequency. At full brightness, the "on" period is 100 % of the time. At half brightness, the "on" is 50 % of the time, and the rest of the time, the LED is dark. At ten percent brightness, the "on" period is 10 %. Very simple.
The only problem with the PWM method is that it causes the display to flicker. The flicker rate is typically set high enough that most people won't perceive any flicker, but sadly, a small number of people (I'm one of them) CAN see flicker at much higher frequencies than most, and so we see these displays as "unsteady" and often find them taxing to look at. If a much higher PWM frequency had been chosen (I can detect flicker up to around 800-1000 Hz, but most PWM-controlled LEDs operate at 50-120 Hz), this wouldn't be an issue. DC/voltage regulation doesn't flicker, but is presumably more expensive, since it's rarely used in anything but high-end computer displays.
Cameras operate at a fixed frame rate, and if that frame rate isn't matched to the flicker rate of the display, the video will show severe flicker, as in this case.
The comment from MellyTri is not correct for everyone, but probably 90-95 %. Chances are you're lucky enough to not be sensitive to flicker.
So how do you know how big the fish are that you are scanning on the 3D imaging? The feedback seems to just come back as a group of dots. How would you know whether those dots are a school of bluegills or a school of bass?
That comes from time on the water and knowing your body of water. If on a lake that has certain species of fish and if I know how those fish behave in that body or water along with the time of year, I can make an educated guess as to what species it is. So like...if I see a big ball of fish and its summer and its hot...my first believe is that its crappie or white bass on the lake I go to for instance. Ultimately you won't know until you catch whatever it is.
