Yeah, and more to come from I-cast......If they get the price down with this bow mount, I think I may have to buy one.
x2 but will hold off to see how many people get interference with the tm running. My ideal goal would be to use spot lock and sit in the general area with 360 running.
I can tell you that I get absolutely zero interference between my Terrova 101 and my (transom mount) 360 Imaging device.
Good to hear Jason. As I have pretty much reduced my SI interference to min levels I would have hopes that it would not be an issue for me. I have seen where it was a problem for others. So I am hoping everything goes well and the price falls in line with my budget. Now gotta find a place to run the cable as my terrova slot is at capacity. Have you seen the new mount in person? I could not tell from the video how it connected up but if it is like I think may have a hard time mounting it to an electronic steer. Give me some good news lol.
Looks like it clamps to the upper "stationary" section of the TM shaft...

Well maybe there is a different mount that will work with the electronic motors that they have not released info on. I also wonder how much the shadow from the motor will block the image. Either way I see this as a good thing for the front of the boat.
wonder what kind of price tag it'll have
I didn't think ICast started to July 9. Interesting

kosmo...has experimenting with the "sweep speed" had any noticable effect on the image ...??

Well MSRP is 1500.00. So either they are getting us or they been getting the Talon guys for some time now. I liked the concept but still at that price point they have priced me out. Would also like to be able to just buy the 360 and mount only. I don't need the HS puck or the ethernet cables. Already got that. Very dissapointed at this time. Maybe something will sway me but for now just lost interest.
I also heard that it will be set up for either the maxxum or terrova only. There are a few guys on bbc complaining already.
What I find interesting in the new bow mount 360 is the verification now that the deployment system is not an intregal part of the whole...
This could mean a possibility in the near future of innovators being able to just get the xducer puck and it work correctly without the other expensive brackets and deployment systems...
Options are good...and we are 1 step closer in determining what those options are ...

HMMM, interesting thought Rickie.......could be a bonanza for you. Even if they try to charge $1000 for the transducer a lot of people would consider a separate mount.
Now that front mount does look interesting! It's still too rich for my blood and my 997's won't support it anyway, but the idea is pretty revolutionary. The biggest drawback w SI for me has always been that it is essentially useless if you are stationary or even if you are moving at ultra slow speeds, like spider rigging. This seems to solve that problem.
It sucks that the don't have mount for their flagship TM's (Terrova,PD). Come on HB, we know that if we rotate the tm the image will distort.
