FYI 23:28 the green glitching is due to a frame rate issue with editing software. The video provided by Lowrance was at 12 FPS. Even at 15 FPS output on the editor, I couldn't get rid of it. IT'S NOT AN AT2 ISSUE :)

[DaleWyman]

Great informative video! As a Navico Pro-Staff Team Member, I totally agree that “EXPERIENCED” Lowrance users who buy an HDSPRO will not spend the additional money on the S3100. One thing I don’t hear much about is al, the additional weight being added to trolling motor shafts. Most anglers now have an independent turret system to allow the use of Anchor Lock. I already see the additional weight of turrets and extra transducers causing the GHOST to deploy faster than originally designed. Hopefully Lowrance will design a heavy duty gas shock for the GHOST. The additional memory in the HDSPRO is a PLUS! The microprocessor is actually the same as the HDSLIVE UNITS. I am THRILLED to see a 10 inch MFD in the Lineup! Two separate Active Target Transducers and S3100 “may” be a tough sell for the “average” user.

У меня есть 12 PRO и датчик 3-in-1FR HW. Мне нужно купить S3100 для работы Fish Reveal? Или без s3100 функция FR будет работать на моём 12 PRO ?

Surprised how badly Lowrance screwed up in trying to catch up to Garmin. Why would I pay considerably more for a product that still is not as good? The dual activetarget is a niche market at best as it's a very expensive setup. The really weird thing is needing a S3100 to get fish reveal sidescan on the Pro, though it looks to be of far less value than downscan fish reveal. At least they finally got into megahertz sidescan - at a high cost. Great review.

[thedetecto]

Very surprised at the cost vs what you get for that cost! I am a die hard Lowrance guy so I will continue to stick with Lowrance even

[ChrisBeardsley]

21:10 you mention a video about Garmin that you did... link to that specific video?

Earning that InDepth name, great video I think I'll need to watch a few times to absorb some of it.

i just got the HDS live 7 for my kayak and i think that lowrance should keep there 9 and 7" series and tailor it more towards the kayak/small boat angler possibly even the ice fisherman that still wants that "top of the line" equipment or the "latest and greatest". i get it there probably not flying off the shelf but just a thought. i know if i had a bass boat and funds allowed it id go straight for a 12"

I have an active imaging 3 in 1 at the console will the hds pro work with it

First analysis of the new products on the Internet. Great job! Any insight on the availability dates of the products? Thanks!

I have been debating on the module when I get my HDS Pro 16 because I also muskie fish hard in the fall. Use sidescan a lot, plus on fish that large the sonar return would be really strong so they'd show up well on a follow. For bass fishing don't see it as useful.

If I buy a hds pro could I Ethernet it to my Hds carbons ?

[henrypauling]

I have two Lowrance HDS LIVE with 1ea S 3100 module, 1ea HD 3-in-1 (HW) Transducer @ Transom and 1ea HD 3-in-1 Ghost Nose Cone Transducer on Trolling Motor. My (?) Do I need two S 3100 or the one is good for 360 @ Bow and Side Scan @ Console.

[glenndaugherity]

With a “Ping” issue when running a 2in1 can you just stop sonar on the 2d screen then go into your side scan/downs can pages to get around the ping issue ?

Question: The new HD Pro 16 inch unit is around $5000. I see that BassPro has a HD LIVE unit that says it includes Active Imaging for $4199 (could this be correct that Active Imaging is included. I am assuming Active Imaging is built in and you would not need the S3100 for this Live unit? I don't want the extra box in the If all of this is true, I think it would be a good choice for me as I really don't need the overlay feature and really don't care about the fish reveal feature for side scan. What do you think? UPDATE: I see the Live unit has Active Imaging but only has support for "HD Active Imaging". Think I just answered my question. I see the difference now. Thank you.

Hi i have an hds 9 carbon on my kayak, and i been looking into upgrading to a hds pro but from what im getting in your video is that i can do about as muchas the pro with my carbon by just buying the 3100 module and transducer? So instead of spending 3500 for a hds 12 pro i can just spend 1500 on the 3100 module and transducer?

[HawgSnatchin]

If I get a Pro for the bow with AT2 is it still linkable with my 2 gen3 touch 9s for mapping/waypoints?

[typowell]

Great video very informative
Really like the new HD transducer images don't think sidescan FR is for me
Very disappointing that you can't use AT1 with the AT2 for the new views and need 2 complete systems was really looking forward to getting the forward/scout split screen

[kennethsturdivant]

What is the coverage on AT2 in DOWN MODE at 30 feet deep?

[sergeyzaslon]

Hello! Thanks for a great job! At 11:44 you talked about support AIHD by HDS Carbon with module s3100, could you give a link to the official specification of the module s3100 with this information?

[CMmuskie]

One thing you did not mention was the delay problem that active target one had. Was this addressed?
