Thread: Helix 5 pics

As requested I am posting some pics. I am new to side imaging and thats why there are several different colors. I know I have some fine adjustments to make but again I am new to this. Feel free to analyze.

Looks pretty good to me!!!!!

Looks good to me also!

Looks like side imaging to me!!!!!!

Where is your transducer mounted. I want one but I want to mount it on my troller

It is mounted to the transom, trolling motor mount should be fine though.

How does the screen compare to like a 798?????

Rickie, Is my brain thinking correct, would you not have better resolutions (clarity) on the smaller screens that have the same pixels (480v X 800h) but the screen image would be smaller?

Like Gene said ... More pixel density is better ... But you may not be able to see the difference in smaller screens ...(zoom boxes do show the difference) ...

The different size screens have different pixel densities.
The 798 has 31,170.5 pixels per square inch.
The 898 has 17,533.4 pixels per square inch
The 998 has 12,755.7 pixels per square inch
The 1198 has 8,858.2 pixels per square inch

The Helix specs are ...:

480 x 800 = 384,000 total pixels
3" x 4.6" = 13.8" square inches (unverified)

384,000 divided by 13.8 = 27,826 pixels density per square inch ...

(If my calculations are correct on the Helix) ...

So the Helix total resolution is almost as high as the 798 ...
