Lowrance Elite 4 HDI er på vei

Da Lowrance kom med Elite 7 HDI, flyttet de prispunktet for kvalitetsekkolodd med godt tradisjonelt ekkolodd og Downscan (eller HDI som det heter på Elite) nedover med flere tusen kroner. Siden den gang har Elite 5 HDI kommet, og i vinter ble altså også den minste enheten i Elite-serien også oppgradert.

Skjermen har i praksis fått 36% større areal slik at man har 4,3" skjerm, og med en 70% økning i pixler er oppløsningen på 480X272.

Elite 4 HDI har fargeskjerm, ønsker man en enda rimeligere løsning og klarer seg med gråtoner er også Lowrance Mark 4 oppgradert til Mark 4 HDI.

Jeg har bestilt versjonen med 83/200/455/800- giver. Denne giveren gir altså tradisjonelt ekkolodd med 83 og 200 kHz, og Downscan med 455 og 800 kHz. Ikke ulikt det du kan få med en Lowrance HDS med StructureScan-modul og tilhørende givere, bare at sistnevnte koster 10.000,- eller så mer. Veil pris for Elite 4 HDI med giveren jeg har bestilt er 3.475,- i følge prislisten til importøren Pronav. (I all ærlighets navn gir en HDS med StructureScan-modul deg både større skjerm og endel andre funksjoner og muligheter, men poenget er altså at Elite 4 HDI ser ut til å gi svært mye for svært lite penger.)

Det skal bli spennende å teste denne lille sjarmøren mot mine egne Lowrance HDS. :)

The perfect settings for Lowrance? A guide on how to set up your 2D-sonar part I.

Perhaps the most repeated question in Facebookgroups and forums regarding marine electronics: "What are the best settings?" The bad news is that there is no uniform answer to that. The good news is that you can adjust settings according to conditions if you have a little knowledge as to what settings you should tweak and why. Here is part 1 of our guide to get the most out of your unit in regards to settings.

What is the difference between HDS Carbon and HDS Live?

Here we go again, a new generation of the Lowrance HDS. And with that Facebook and the different forums are flooded with questions referring to the difference between the new and the old. So what is the difference between Lowrance HDS Live and HDS Carbon?

Lowrance Elite Ti2 versus Elite FS

  When Lowrance launches a new mid-range unit, it is a big deal. Forums and Facebookgroups light up with questions on the new stuff, differences towards the old stuff and questions on compatibility. As usual, we in Team Colibri will try our best to sort that out, both on a technical level and with a more practical in-your-boat approach.

Lowrance Hook 2 versus Lowrance Hook Reveal

You have to hand it to Lowrance when it comes to the name of their new entry-level line of sonar and chartplotters. We all want to hook up, and what better way to do that then by having our marine electronics reveal to us where the fish are?

What is the difference between Lowrance HDS Live and Elite Ti2?

Lowrance as a brand of marine electronis is well known to all anglers, but the differences within their range of different models seem to cause quite a few questions out there. Here we will try to outline the difference between Lowrance HDS Live (top end) and Lowrance Elite Ti2 (middle range). Lowrance Elite Ti2 vs Lowrance HDS Live (photo; lowrance.com) As usual, we will start with the tech and then try to translate those technical aspects to practical differences while out on the water. Hardware - housing, screen and connections. The screen and housing on Elite Ti2 is the same as on the previous Elite Ti, and again more or less the same as on HDS Gen 2 Touch. (The memorycard-door and mounting-bracket is different from HDS Gen 2 Touch.) This is by no means new stuff, and compared to the more advanced housing and screen on HDS Live, Elite Ti2 is starting to show its relative age. However, with that in mind it is worth noting that when looking at the competition, several of ...
