Mega Side Imaging Settings

In this episode of slime quest tv i do a hummingbird helix side imaging tutorial on settings contrast sharpness and also how to get your transducer level.

Mega side imaging settings.

Helix 2d sonar setup. Mega side imaging new the power and imaging detail of mega side imaging has been moved down into the helix 7. The helix 2d setup can have multiple pages so i ll just address the big changes. Mega should get you at least 100 ft of coverage on both sides of the boat.

This last setting i use when i have a lot of debris in the water or a lot of grass that is making it hard to see the density of the bottom and contours of creek channels. Tim goes in depth about the differences between the 455khz 800khz and mhz mega frequencies and what each can do for your overall image quality. In our hands the best mega images are obtained using side imaging ranges of less than 100 ft. Unlike standard side imaging sonar this unit will show you more detail and let you uncover 3x more output in the most precise detail.

You will get unparalleled underwater clarity coverage up to 125 feet on both sides of the boat. From freshwater to saltwater bass to tarpon nowhere is off limits and no fish is safe from its incredible clarity. Many anglers fail to understand the importance of changing frequencies in different environments. Mega side imaging and down imaging are built into select humminbird helix and solix models as well as select minn kota trolling motors.

So mega imaging is a short range high resolution technique. Mega side imaging is an impressive feature that deserves massive praise. The mega imaging frequency 1 2 mhz provides the highest resolution available in any side viewing sonar application yielding side images with unprecedented clarity and detail.

The tricks to side imaging are a combination of sensitivity contrast and frequency. At the same time the mega imaging frequencies have the shortest useful range of the imaging frequencies.
