Humminbird Helix Down Imaging Settings and Images

Thanks so much for the video. It really does help. You explain a lot of things that put the missing pieces of the puzzle together for me. And I'm sure thousands of others. Thanks once again and keep up the great work love your videos

I know this video is 2 years old but I been looking for a great video on all the settings! That’s for a great video, I saved it so I can go back and look at it when I am checking my settings

Best video yet. Very informative and explained well

Yeah yeah I've done all that and just can't get a picture anything like that

👍👍👍👍👍

So everything works in mine except down/side imaging. Just a black screen. Any thoughts. Helix 9

Hi Steve, Great video. is there a way to upload the DI file into a pc. I can downlaod all the files except the down imaging one. Any idea why?

When you set up your settings in simulation mode will they be set like that once back to normal or will I have to write down my settings and adjust then when back to normal?

Great narrative and content style. I liked and subscribed! So many videos out there but yours was the most succinct and helped me target the topic. Glad I clicked on your video. With so many people posting them, the no nonsense description and thumbnail photo are huge in sorting them out. WELL DONE!

Great explanation and easy to follow, thank you for your videos I have learned a lot from you teaching, keep up the good work.

Does this include all helix 5 DI CHIRP

I am new at this and would like a video on a start-up with a Hummingbird DI 7 G4N

Awesome thank you

Very awesome tutorial video!! Learned a lot from this video!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!

Great video! Thank you!

Steve, do the adjustments made while in simulator mode transfer over to operational mode? Also, I have seen where this unit has the ability to label larger fish with their length. If you are familiar with how to do so, can you please explain it? I am primarily targeting striped bass, puppy drum, sheepshead, speckled trout and flounder. Thanks!!!!!

Helix

Will this info work on a Helix 7 MDI GPS G4 model? Great video by the way!

Hi Steve, Great video! My question if you can answer it: I am assuming the settings adjustments for brightness, contrast, zoom, etc are just adjusting the screen display and not making any changes to the recorded sonar signals being received and recorded by the unit, is this your understanding? I believe changing the freq of the sonar does affect what is recorded. Thanks

Very good and helpful video. I have one question, does having two transducers on, one on each side of the transom interfere with each other's signals? Thank you in advance

Have a Helix 9 do these settings and buttons work the same as the 12 that you were working on . Mine is Helix 9 DI mega

Awesome 👏🏻

Your video instructions are concise and clear and perfect what a great job you're doing thank you so much

Thanks for the video, just ordered a helix 5 DI G3. This video should help me set it up. 👍

Get to the point

wow..amazing

Is it normal for my mega down imaging to have a red tint? If i freeze frame and mess with settings the water column is black but any new image coming in from the right the water column has a red tint im not sure if its normal or how to fix it. Thank you!

This was awesome for me cause I just bought a new helix 5 Very nice just what I needed

Hi Steve...I have a Helix 10 mdi G4 hooked to my ultrex with the mdi transducer built in. It reads the down imaging but doesn't show the depth. Could the built in transducer be acting up or is it a setting not correct? Help please sir.

Plan to buy helix 9 G4. I only troll the Great Lakes. Not sure if DI will be useful at 100-125 ft. Would you have any images at these depth? Have you used DI at these depths?
Thanks

You are a very effective teacher. You assume nothing. You explain even the most basic items in a way that bring out their importance. Thank you so much for your thoughtful approach!

I want to look for sunken boats and outboard motors within 400' depth is this unit good for this?

Great video Steve. New to the Helix family. Question, the settings you do in simulation mode do they stay when you switch to real time imaging mode?

This is the type of video I have been looking for. You didn't start out yelling, "What's up?" at me and there is no crazy music. I don't want to be entertained, I want to be educated and this video, (and hopefully your others), feels like a true instructional tool. Thank you!

Steve Chiasson your video are the best to explain the settings thanks

im having a hard time on what unit to put on my trolling motor. I have a Hummingbird 859 ci HD...sona.GPS...or...a Hummingbirg Helix 7...this vidio is awesome !

If settings are entered in demo mode will they same settings carry thru to the active on water mode or is it necessary to enter them in the on water non demo mode again.??

awesome video

Thanks Steve I had no idea how to switch frequencies!

Good job 👍

Steve, thank you again for such a great video. After checking to see what I actually have, it is a Helix 9 DI GPS and the transducer is 455/800khz. As much as I can find out there are no updates for this unit. We don't fish a lot so is this still a good unit? Your videos have helped me to understand this thing way better. Since I have gotten this Helix 9 it has been nothing but frustration. The boat dealer put on a Helix 5 on the front of the boat with the trolling motor with the same result.
Thank you!

Steve, You're videos on the Helix MEGA SI DI GPS G3 are FANTASTIC. These are the BEST videos of the multitude I have viewed. Just packed with info. I keep learning something new every time I review your videos. You explain things very well and in depth. I've only used my Helix 7 once so far and am just itching to set it up next week on my next trip. Hummingbird should seriously look at hiring you!!!

Hi Steve. Is this the G3N or G4N?

Narrow, wide or Full for DI?

Amazing! This was exactly what I was looking for =)

Great video for a new user. Are you using the transducer in your Ultrex trolling motor or another mounted transducer?

WOW - great video. Thank you!

Why not make a video what buttons to push how to turn it on & how to get down imageing get right in front of the unit in the shade with no glare & show what buttons to push & where is the on off button had mind for two years can’t find on / off button
