Lowrance Castable - De store entrer kulemarkedet

Lowrance Castable er snart her, er dette bare en Deeper-kopi eller har de noe eget å by på?

 Det begynner å bli flere om beinet i segmentet "ekkoloddkuler" nå, eller kastbare ekkolodd som det også kalles. Frem til nå har de tre store vært Vexilar, Deeper og Humminbird, men nå kaster også Lowrance seg med i dansen med to modeller.
Lowrance FishHunter 3D


Tidligere i år brukte undertegnede og blogg-kollega Lars en hel del tid på å gjennomteste en Deeper Smart Sonar Pro+, på det tidspunktet anså vi nettopp Deeper som markedsledende på området og den oppfatningen har ikke endret seg enda. Men kan Lowrance gjøre noe med vår oppfatning?
Lowrance FishHunter Pro

De slipper to modeller, FishHunter 3D er den mest avanserte med en veilledende pris i USA på 199 USD og legger seg rett på kollisjonskurs med Deepers toppmodell. Modellen under er Fishunter Pro med veiledende pris på 149 USD som dermed jakter på Deepers to enklere modeller. Tilsynelatende har Lowrance vært enig i vår vurdering av hvem som blir deres største konkurrent?
3D-modellen gir mulighet for kart i 3D.

Umiddelbart ser det ut til at den store forskjellen på modellene ligger i at 3D har en variant av StructureScan mens Pro "bare" har tradisjonell 2D. Begge reklameres det med at kan lage dybdekart, mens 3D også skal kunne lage StructureMap. Her kommer det nok mer informasjon om detaljer i funksjonaliteten etterhvert.
Kartleggingsfunksjonen for dybde.

Vi har bedt om å få låne en FishHunter 3D for testing, så får vi som om Navico lar oss få slippe til. Vi har veldig lyst til å kjøre litt head-to-head med Deeper ute på vannet her. Hvem har den beste kula?

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

Av
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.

Lowrance Elite Ti2 versus Elite FS

Av
  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

Av
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?

Av
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 ...
