Lowrance 3N1 HD vs. Lowrance 3N1 AI On The Water

Показать описание

In this video we got out on the water to compare the all new Lowrance 3N1 HD transducer to the 3N1 Active Imaging Transducer. Which one do you think looks better!!

I agree the rocks & few things do look better on new hd ducer. But overall for guys already have 3n1 & live units. I don't think it would be worth spending coin for upgrading unless you just have money to burn. Just one video worth of footage isn't enough to make absolute decision either. I guess with all hype I had my hopes up more. & Was expecting a bigger improvement. All brands have good side & down imaging. I don't think you can go wrong with any brand these days.. I'll stick with my echomap ultra 106sv I got for $752 on sale. A 10" Lowrance or bird is 2800 tax!

After seeing that I think I will be sticking with my Carbons and SS3d

Will you be comparing 455 kHz AI SideScan with the 455 HD CHIRP? Also, I really want to see how much of an improvement there is with 700 and 1200 kHz HD DownScan. AI DownScan fixed at 600 kHz was garbage with terrible bottom detail.

Honestly, I think the original 3 in 1 looks better! Turn down the contrast 2 notches and it would be the same. Not worth upgrading in my opinion.

I'd love to see some comparisons in 30-80' of water looking 200-300' out to the side.

will stay with my carbon's....connected to my ghost with 3n1. Need something more than that to change my game plan.

When you did this test, did you ever try to run them both at the same time? What TM do you have on the bass boat - Ultrex? Any interference seen on sidescan with the TM? On the "hotter" feedback you are noticing, my recent experience is that the higher up in frequency you go, the less hot, or bright the returns are. So, the 800kHz showing "hotter" than 1075kHz makes sense to me. This really shows up when the contrast on 455kHz (PRO/HD 3in1) is set for best sharpness and then switching to 1075kHz. Also, just to be clear, you are not using the S3100 box on the PRO, correct?

I guess the cost of the hd is certainly a question since it’s not just buying a transducer. It’s either buy a hds pro which are currently $1000 more than hds live and anyone with fs elites and/or HDS live units would need the S3100 module. Just from reading basic descriptions from Lowrance you can hook up 2 transducers to the S3100 module. I would think this would make sense for someone running side scan HD front and back and any 2 screens are gonna be cheaper than the hds pro units. Though I could see a pro up front if you want to run 2 active target 2 units.

To go further in the mud and my view where I’m not making money from fishing, I like side scan for structure and I want to get active target on the ghost to target specific fish but I’ve never seen the need for side scan up front but in shallow stuff I’ve always assumed my big motor is disturbing the fish much more than a trolling motor would though reality might differ. And that’s why I’ll probably end up with a 3 in 1 nose cone up front. If HD was a $200 upgrade it would make sense but this is well over $1k and for someone building their electronics over time, I will certainly be acquiring other electronics before I go with hd transducers and modules or pro units. This video does really help in this regards to me.

What I do love about these upgrades is that it really cuts the cost down some for those of us on a budget.

Upgrade for Live HDS cost 1400 USD (sonar+box) …Sorry, i do not see so big difference between old and new.
More better is to feel the money in wallet :)

the chirp and mega hz frequency could be the difference in marking fish and not marking them. If you are just looking for structure and not fish, maybe it's not worth the upgrade to you.

Does the 3100 module use chirp on the 360 view as well as side and down scan on the hd?

jutnjenrasmussen

Hi, do you know up to how many meters deep the new active imaging HD works with the module s3100 in side scan?? Because the old active imaging 3 in 1 works until to 50-60 meters deep in side scan.

stelioskatsoulas

are you using the s3100 hd module with the hd transducer?

jalfa

So I just got a used hds liv from you guys. If I got a pro and the hd transducer with it. Can I network it with my live unit and utilize that transducer on the live unit? I only have 2 units. 1 st the bow and 1 at the console
