Any pics to share? Curious as to the results.

hi
Just poor picts, but there's realy progress.
The test is do with hélix 12 méga 2 si, non commercial use, one side is not working, hull mounted ducer
to compare, 898 si, towed ducer at 800 khz.

cable 800 tow is do with 898 and towfish at 800 khz
cable 1200 khz is do with helix méga at 1200 khz
tow ancien with hum 898 at 800 khz
meme méga, helix at 1200 khz

Happy new year...waiting an helix mega 2

Are you sure that is Mega G2 as those shots look nothing like what was advertised?

What range was that?

yes, i compare a mega g2 at 1200 khz, 25 meter range and a 898 at 800 khz with towfish, the méga G2 give good pics, there's more détails at 1200 khz, the câble is difficult to see at 800 but is verry clear at 1200, but the movement of the ship are visible.
i think buy a Helix 10 méga g2 si and make a towfish to use it at 1200 khz.
it's for sub marine archaeology.
i think Hélix méga is a very good product.

Do you have screenshots of those comparisons Felix?

Interesting meme

and this pics

Hum 1198 si, towfish, 60 m câble, Lss2 (yes a lowrance ducer) at 800 khz, 30 meter depht , 30 m range 2016
i think whe can do better with the future Hélix, i wait for à Helix 10 mega G2, do a towfish and whe see this year if whe do more...

Now THAT was impressive!

I personally think this whole mega thing is a gimmick, but I will save that for when I actually test it on the water.

Thanks for the feedback Felix.

Looks pretty good to me! Might have to pick one up in the spring and record a new set of test data!

ok, as soon is possible, and for reefmaster 2 ? i wait it

I have just test Helix on salt water, MEGA work good at 14m on a wreck (I don't get screen shot,, it was boat show) waiting for the nex SOLIX

The chirp on sidescan makes this a really interesting product and it have the potential to get really good details even at longer ranges using 450kHz.
I've tried to find dimensions on the transducer XM 9 20 MSI T but failed so far.
If it has the same length as the LSS2 it would match the lobe width of the Lowrance at 450kHz.

The Lowrance suffer from not having chirp, as soon as you increase the range beyond 30? meters you lose a lot of detail probably due to increased pulse length.
