Man the info on where the back of the boat is using the talons as reference is legit gold. Thats game changer info dude we apprecaite you

Ok, Let me say this. This video is possible the best Introduction to FNG'S for the 360 EVER put on U tube. Bloody awesome. I am a fishing guide in Nth Qld Australia. I have just started using 360 and about to move into live. I have watched 20 or so U tube Video's about 360. Every one of them confused me a tad. Your 360 intro was farking amazing. I totally understood everything. You are now on my Xmas list. Thank you soooo much for making it soooo easy. Knighty

Best explanation of the 360 I've seen so far. 👍 Can you show '360' docks and bridge pilings?

Thank you for telling when you should use side scan or 360 sonar

Thanks for the great easy to follow explanation. I am getting one on my new boat next spring and been trying to follow videos on how to use the 360 properly. Keep up the great work.

Chuck, use your chirp sonar in some scenarios and you will have a double hard line on the chirp view. Look for double red, that means super hard bottom and getting a double bounce. Great video!

I'm about a year out from my first bass boat and you're doing a lot in helping me decide about my choice of electronics. You may have swayed me away from Garmin. Appreciate the knowledge you're passing out.

Thanks for video. Not many videos about actually using the technology. You do!

I was , going to buy a 360. But it's not what I thought it was. Thanks for doing this video 🤙

What a fantastic video!! You did an exceptional job explaining the back of the boat compared to seeing structure. It's something I've never taken into consideration when looking @these. Until now, I didn't know how or if they were networkable either... that's super helpful!! Big thumbs up & now subscribed.

One of the best, most instructive videos on 360 I have seen. Trying to make a decision (buy or don't) and his helped a lot! Thank you very much.

This has to be by far the best electronic explanation ever made

Awesome video.....thanks so much. I am getting my mega 360 in the next couple of months.

This is an awesome video. Im glade you put it together. Having examples and then describing what the 360 is showing was awesome. Im looking forward to putting a 360 on my new boat this year.

I fish the St. John’s River, and for me personally on my helix 10 I use color palette 4, the greenish brown one, and set my sensitivity to 8-12 and keep my contrast on 16, they’ll look like moon craters! Hope this helps!

Hummingbird needs to allow the fisherman to put a boat icon on the unit that fits the boat

Great video ... really informative ... I fish the opposite end of town but I watch your videos and I catch fish using your patterns ... I wish I had 300 days on the water but it’s nice to watch local central Florida videos when you don’t ... would love to book a trip with you sometime

Chuck, I appreciate this video - I have recently installed a Mega 360 and am getting to know it. Regarding shell beds i generally find them using sonar and looking for a double bottom return.

Cool info, thanks. Just starting with some Humminbird stuff so still a lot to learn 👍

One of the better Mega360 tutorials for dummies like me. I fished tourn in 80s b4 elec. not even trolling motors. Anchors to set certain area / hot spots. Keep these videos & updates cuz Im hqving to learn 1st grade material cuz I wouldnt know beds from sunken ships. Im still trying to learn best elec. & what or how you know what or where bass are from bait , cats, hybrids, etc. Thanks, please tag me as you do new tutorials for corn fed fat ol guys. Im trying to get a tourn basscat set up for my son that lives & breath bass fishing & tourn.. God Bless

Amazing video! I've been going back and forth between 360 and LiveScope. I've been leaning to 360 because I'm a Cannon, Minn Kota and Humminbird guy. This video was all I needed. Thx again!

Try using a black umbrella for your next sunny day of making videos.

I am not a pro but which hummingbird unit do you recommend for the 360

Great video thanks

Amazing information, thank you so much for your time and energy you put into this video. Very informative. Kane Fishing Gear

Amazing video ! Glad I found it I’ve always thought Mega 360 was a lot better than the Live Scopes.

Great information and even better explanation. I was thinking about getting one and you sealed it. Thanks

Great Vid. Chuck !!

ordering mine monday , this was the best info on 360 yet for me thx i just subscribed

Thanks for the great information Chuck!

This is a very good video. It answered a lot of my questions regarding this technology. Thank you for making this video.

Fantastic video Chuck!

Thanks Chuck! Had my first real trip with my new Mega 360 last week and I'm still learning how to use it and when. Have you tried using the 360 SI yet? I tried it a couple of times but I don't see much use for it since I have SI on the transom mount. You probably already know this but I just learned this. By holding down the "View" button for a couple of seconds, a menu will pop up with all of your viewing options. I find it easier to do that than click through each view to find the one I am looking for. Also, I have a Gen3 on the bow which allows me to share the 360 image with my Gen2 on the console. Anyway, good job and keep it up!

Great video. You may not have covered everything, but it was still very informative!

Great video man. Installing my 360 next week. Lots of good info. Appreciate it!

Great instructional video. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the video and cleaning your screen. great info

Great video Chuck, a bunch of very good info.

Thank you from someone who is 50 so the electronic deals are hard to figure out without help , still learning but I live in Clermont Fla I would love to have that edition added I just do not know who to trust or go to for installation and some help to link together and maybe additional battery? Then lesson for sure , I have one helix unit I can only go out about 1 or 2 days a month and would like to catch more fish !!! Looks like it could take a lot of guess work away thanks again

You can use the color setting for green/red and anything pops up red is hard bottom ie rock/ shell beds :)

Nice informative video chuck Always learning 👍🏻

Killer video man. Here's the main thing I learned from watching...I want one! Lol. I have the Lowrence HDS12 on my bay boat . Bought it from a friend and I really need to find someone who can show me how to maximize it's features and just learn how to use it. Right now it's just a giant GPS...lol. Might have to find me a guide down here and pay him to teach me. Idk...

Awesome video, very informative.

Really good instruction on this. Thanks!

Great video Chuck!

Excellent tutorial. Thank you

Thanks, this video was really helpful.

Great explanation, thanks 👍👍

Geez now I gotta have one....excellent video

Thank you, really well done.

Amazing video! Taught me a lot

Awsome video!

Great video. Liked. Thanks. Does the same sonar unit do both side and 360 vision? Or do you need to different attachment? Thanks.

Awesome video.. Good information..👍

Nice video, a lot of good information

Good video, Chuck.

Thanks a lot man! I just subscribed to your channel

Nice video, love Mega 360!

I have a question. If you can see the talons where is the return of the foot of the motor. I can definitely see the talons

Awesome video

Just subed and hit the bell. From Kentucky

Wanting to improve my depth finder unit from a Larance hook five to a one time purchase of a hummingbird with 360 which unit do you recommend I get

Great video and explanations. Particularly when to use side imaging vs 360 imaging. Need you to show us what it looks like when the fish are active and you are finding them on that structure.

Hi Chuck, everything you said is the absolute truth! I have both the older version of 360, and now the mega. I was wondering if you have considered the acquisition of HB's version of live view? From all I've seen elsewhere, it doesn't seem to match up to the Garmin in image quality, so I've been holding off for now, hoping that HB will improve theirs soon. I'll keep watching to see if you do, and your usage of it! Thanks for such great videos!!

I have a rear transom mount helix g2n with side images got my helix on dash board, I can put the360 on trolling motor shaft, right and use usp cable , that's all right

Great video Chuck! Would you care to comment on weather or not the unit will produce quality images when used on choppy water?

nice video!subbed!

great vid

from a software point of view, it would have been a very easy thing for them to have a menu option where you dial in the length of the boat and then, it could draw a more accurate picture of the boat in the center, without you having to figure out from seeing the talons like you did in the beginning....

Chuck, thanks for a great and informative video. A couple of questions, can you use the 360 in 10-20 foot water and how does the unit perform when there is a little wind which would cause the boat to rise and fall? Thanks again.

Excellent! Exactly what I was looking for. I am buying a new boat in the spring and I want to go with a helix 12 with SI at the console and a helix 12 with mega DI and 360 at the bow. Or do I have to have SI at the bow also?

handy tip. get rid of the map screen to make the 360 view easier to see. thanks for the vid though

If I get a mega 360 do I also have to get a secondary sonar for 2D depth finder

have you added the live scope to you boat

What kind of winds will mega 360 work by in

Have you tried the Autochart function and looked at the bottom hardness to find you shell shelf?

What's a ballpark price the unit run?

Can or is their a setting like GARMIN LIVE, that shows fish size differences as your lure in water with them & view it all?

what mount is that with the rope to pull up?

So the talons you speak of are basically the back of you boat? Is that something you set in the settings for the length of your vessel?

Dumb question but What are talons?

That is very interesting about being able to see the Talons. Are you anchored when you can see them? Also I have the core unit 360 not the mega...thanks

Has anyone had issues with the 360 not reading correctly? It seems mine is 90-120 degrees off. I have the indicator facing forward but i believe my pod may have skipped a beat and I cant adjust the unit on my graph enough to get the unit lined up correctly

Does it come with the screen?

In your video, what were your sensitivity and contrast settings?

Not to stir away from the focus if this video, but is your trolling motor hardwired?

Have you tried green & red pallette on Side Scan to find shell beds? (Sensitivity set to 7 or so)

Do you think the 360 would be ideal for a kayak fishing considering I fish lake points and coves?

Great video Chuck. I currently have the MEGA+ side imaging with an eye on getting the MEGA 360 this spring. In the video you commented about the rings on the screen being 13'8" from the transducer. In side imaging you need take into account the depth of the water column when determining distance from the boat. For example, if the water depth is 8', then you have to subtract 8' from the depth marker lines. So if the first depth marker line is 15' then it would actually only be 7' away. If true for the MEGA 360 then in your video, would the first ring be actually 10'3" away if you were in 3' of water? Hope I explained my question clearly but just trying to understand everything before jumping in and buying. Thanks!!

Would the mega 360 be beneficial on Toho for spec fishing more than just a standard color bottom machine fish finder?

Thanks. Liked. How do you follow a school near the surface? It seems that mist of what the 360 is showing is the bottom. My lake is 50 feet deep but the schools are usually about 5 feet below surface. Would this work very well just to tack the surface fish that is swimming actively around a big circle?

ood morning I am looking for the y cable and cables to get my Helix 9 chirp mega DI + GN4, MEGA 360 ultrex 2 model 411830-1 and ultrex 80/us2/1PLink-52"BT trolling motor need the y cable and whatever I need to get 360 to work I have one eternity dongle from hummingbird AS EC QDE PART # 720074-1 thanks Joe Turner I got my Helix 9 from you on that camouflage SeaArk can you do a video on how and what cables and where they connect thanks

Sold!

Not sure if I missed it , by It seems your working the Mega 360 in only shallow water, how does it work in water say 20' deep +? Is it still crisp and clear, or? Thanks

Chuck the 10" looks great with 360 would it be of any benefit for you to go 12"? Thanks

Just got mine, finally and really like what I'm seeing so far. Anxious to spend some time with it. Do you need to put a network cable to tie it to console Helix unit?

Dose it get in the way when putting on the ranger travel cover?

So would my Humminbird helix chirp mega g3n be compatible with the 360 transducer? Just plug and go?

I got a couple buddies that want to go fishing there not big Fisherman's they like to Shiner fish what would you say Butler or Tahoe

I troll for crappie 1.5-1.8 mph will the mega 360 benefit me to see ahead of the boat?
