Helix 5 SI G2

[Schins]

Not many of these pics on here, so heres one from my new unit
Note: stock transducer

[Schins]

do those look like fish at the one end of the tree?

[sfw1960]

Yup.

Looks good, but looks a little hot as in sensitivity but looks good

That looks like from a computer software viewer (HumViewer), not a unit screen shot. A recording is unfiltered data and not unit settings.

[sfw1960]

Yep HumViewer and probably hot on the machine, but as Wayne stated not unit settings and they make a great difference from unfiltered data.

I have the 7 SI (Gen 1) and can say these are outstanding quality for this unit with stock transducer.

Now if only the unit displayed as well as Humviewer...

I seriously pay little attention to Side imaging while on the water (since the image quality on the unit kind of sucks and its hard to drive and really focus on detail) but cannot wait to get home and see my recordings on the computer.

[Schins]

Your 7 doesn't look as good as this?

You need to put in some time adjusting the machine then Eric....

Yeah I need to do the coin trick to fix my transducer angle and maybe get the HD Transducer.

Well, I only had it out one day so far but that pic was cherry-picked

Sensitivity and contrast play a big role in image quality on the display ...
