I've ran a Mega 360 since they were released. I use mine most every day to compliment my Livescope.
I run a mega 360 and waiting on delivery of HB Mega Live. Used it since they came out. Use it a lot for trolling jigs and cranks and chasing schools of crappie. Works great. Can’t wait to run Mega 360 and Mega Live at the same time. :cheers2
Here is some pics of crappie. The SI are using the Mega 360 with SI turned on instead of 360.

I used mine for a couple hours yesterday. My image is nowhere near that bright. I'm running it on a Solix 12 G2. With the default 80' view, it's only bright for about 40' then gets very dark, almost black. I turned up the sensitivity and it was so bright close up that it washed everything out and was still much darker further out. I was in 8-10 FOW. Any ideas? And I have no data showing up for water depth or water temp. Do I have to use the SI ducer in conjunction with the 360 ducer to get that info to show up?
Start out setting your sensitivity and contrast to 10, you might find sensitivity set at 10 and contrast at 13 is easiest to start out with, set your range to 40, no more than 50, starting out. The farther the range setting the darker the outside of the screen picture. After all, double that and your seeing 80’ when setting range to 40’. Sweep speed is best at setting of 3 but you will get a more perfect picture at 2 even 1. When trolling using cranks,,,I keep the sweep speed at 3. Sometimes 4 but mostly at 3. Depending on the bottom softness or hardness and depth,,,you will have to constantly adjust sensitivity and contrast alittle. Same goes with brightness of sunlight in changing the color of the screen that best suits your vision. The more you experiment and play with your settings the more you will learn.
There is settings in the Solix for showing your details of depth, temp, speed on mega 360 however,,,I’ve never ran a Solix so not up on the settings.
This is 80 feet out over 25 feet of water. Attachment 413221
