In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens kzread.infoUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

Thank You Tim for breaking things down for us newbies! Such a relief to actually see real world examples instead of stock pictures!

Thank you so much . I have a Humminbird 1197 and you just improved my comprehension. Great presentation. We didn't have someone teaching us like this years ago, so I had to fumble along - again for too long!

Thanks I have never understood the new units this helped a lot. I was a pro with the old flasher units which was used before most of you where born. happy fishing from Pickwick Lake

great video. Love to see a down imaging video similar to this one. Thanks for pumping out great content. We appreciate you guys.

Dude, just stumbled across your channel and I've gotta say, this is one of the most informative and understandable videos I've watched on these units. I'm new to all this technology and really struggling to absorb all the material. Just bought a boat with 2 Helix 9's and I'm fixing to add a Solix 12 my dad gave me! Will definitely be watching more of your videos! Thanks a ton for dropping these here!

Can't thank you guys enough for the level of information you provide us.

Great videos guys! I appreciate the time and energy you guys put into making these videos to help people out on the water! ‼️I have a video request‼️ with the way the water fluctuates so much during this time of year, could you guys do an in depth video of what you guys generally fish and how the fish set up/ react when they go from being up shallow in bushes, cover etc. when the water rises, to what they do and how to catch them when the water starts dropping again. It’s always been a tough time for me to catch/pattern fish under those conditions. Thanks for the fishing knowledge you guys share!

You guys have the absolute best videos. I love these electronics videos. They are so helpful for those of us that are novices. Thank you for all you do.

By far the best fishing channel out there....everyone else is playing for 2nd and they always will. I have run out of words to describe how good these guys are but if you're watching them then you already know what I'm talking about.

Next time, drive by and shoot docks. Have the solex units and love them 👍🏻 good show. What I like to do is go down the banks and just use one side of the side imageing to see full screen toward the bank, try it sometime. From Kentucky

Thank you for this video!! I went out the next day after watching the video and it made a world of difference!!

I've found in shallower water turn Sensitivity down below 10, over say 25ft. of water turn sensitivity up just a bit at a time. This seems to clean up the image quite a bit on the screen. You guys are a wealth of knowledge. Keep up the fantastic educational information highway. Just don't go 4 lanes at one time.

The best explanation I've heard. Thanks

Great Video Thank You for your time, really appreciate it. Helped me understand the settings better.

As always, well done. I wish there was some screen recording but it didn't hurt the info - well done man.

Nice. Thanks for doing this video. I’ve been searching for a good Humminbird tutorial and this is great.

Super rad, Tim! I have a Humminbird Helix 5 DI unit and I'm gonna definitely start working those different settings!

I just upgraded to Mega DI, super excited to add side imagining next. Thanks for the tips Tim 👍🏽

Great video....excellent job explaining everything about side imaging and setting it up

Wow! Great info. Will help me out on my new Helix 10's in 2020. keep em coming.

This is one of the best tutorials yet! Thank you

Great video, even an old fella like me can understand. First sounder I used was a paper scrolling unit...yes I'm THAT old. About to purchase a unit like this and go fish east coast Australia, great barrier reef, should be fun!!

Thank you ! This was the most comprehensive, clear explanation I have found. This is going to help me soooo much. Great job !!

Absolutely an awesome video!! I always searched in Mega, but will try the lower bandwidths next time out. Thanks brother. Jeff.

Same for me. Only been out 4 or 5 times with my new Helix Mega DI/SI but will now try lower settings first to see what shows up. A big thanks to Tim!

Thanks for the great video always helpful!

Thank you for helping me get more fish with my unit.

Love the videos! Keep'em coming.

best teaching video of the bird I have seen! Thank you!

Thank you so much for the tips are greatly appreciate it you have no idea👍🏾

Thank you for the information. You did a great job explaining something I need to better understand; when to use what frequency.

Nice break down! Really helps! Thanks TacticalBassin!

Thanks for the video! I learned something useful today!!

Been watch alot of SI tutorials. This is the best so far to help me run my new Humm. Helix 9 mega..Thanks

Still learning how to use our Helix but this definitely helps. Thanks!

Great, Great video sir. Best example of side imaging that I’ve ever seen. Thank you.

Great tips Tim! Keep up the good vids!

Great job Tim as always! Thanks for the tips and reminder and tips of how my unit works bc I've not had it that long and still getting use to it.

Very good video. These electronic videos are much needed! Thx

JUST GOT MY MEGA AND THIS HELPS VERY MUCH TO UNDERSTAND THANKS

Fantastic info I sure hope you will do more it would be really helpful some of us just don’t get enough time on the water to use our electronics effectively 👍😎

Great video!! I forwarding it to everyone who needs it.

Great video,please continue!

Great teaching on side imagining and adjusting the settings. Thank you

Everyone need to "SAVE" this video to your favorites, Incredible job Tim,keep the information coming, I learned a ton 👍👍

Great video Tim, very easy to understand 👍

Tim, I’ve owned my Helix7G2N over two years now and probably viewed two hundred videos on how to use the unit. However I must say your video is the first to explain How&When to use thoseures in practi features in layman terms! I don’t consider myself a complete idiot but I probably only get 20-30% of understanding other videos explaining the features in layman’s terms. I hope you go thru some of the other important features that are there also to explain exactly what you are seeing . . I think now i might have to upgrade my unit to receive the Mega imaging also!!!

Thanks so much man I've hot a humminbird mega si 9 inch. Was really wondering how in the world all that worked! Love you guys.

Thanks Mate great video I love learning tune ups for the bird thank you again.

very useful explanation, bro. Thanks

This was very helpful thank you!!

Idk how this doesn’t get millions of views. This is a game changer. Wouldn’t mind more like this. Maybe more witch actually fish in it?

Excellent info. Thanks

Great info! I'm just have 3 x solix on the boat. Best regards from The Netherlands,

Very nice video. I really need to get my hummingbird tuned in. I will use your tips thank you so much

Appreciate the info brother. Much help

you guys are simply awsome!

That was great. Thanks. I finally get it.

Nice video, saw many, but yours is understandable

Love these videos... Want more.

Nice info. Thanks man.

Great video. Thanks

good info, thank you

Love the electronics videos!

I love side imaging in my 999/1199 units and have discovered to side image new spots and down image anything in detail. If not in shallow water you will identify structure and fish incredibly better than side imaging alone. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the good info

this was helpful. Thanks

LOL....still learning with every vid....but I'm so far away from having electronics... someday! Thanks guys as always for what you do.

Thanks Tim. Answering a question here and there would be nice.

Great explanation

Great vid thank you.

Wow great info thanks

Great video! What exactly do you mean by setting up your transducer, is that in addition to playing with sensitivity and contrast?

This makes me feel a lot better, I can't read yours either. I thought just mine was crap. My first Ranger had a flasher in the dash, I wish I had it back. I could find fish with the old stuff, I hate this new stuff. Usually never take the covers off.

Thank you for the tips i haven't learned to put my Garmin sv to work correctly yet but this was very helpful

Strange I've found it to work mutch better then my old Lawrence ever did to each there own i guess. The big thing for me that separates garmin from there rest is customer service. They stand behind there product's and i have hawg zero failures. Lawrence also stood behind there product but being a kayak angler fishfinder often gets wet and Lawrence fried over and over again. Which they did replace it but after 3 times of that happening i switched to Garmin and will never go back. I've flipped the kayak and submerged there unit and it's continued to work perfectly.

Love the vid. What Hummingbird would you recommend for a big kayak? I'm peddling a Titan 13.5, it's massive but I love that I can stand up and fish.

Any bird with 1.2mhz should work great on ur kayak...especially if u ever get a minn Kota as they’re autopilot is compatible with hummingbird.

Thanks Tim. I run the Garmin units. You just GOTTA take time to learn your units. All units work well if you are willing to learn the settings.
