Title: Boat ramp with walkway and fish SI and 360 views
Post by: promapper on May 13, 2013, 11:14:11 AM

Just a ramp with a concrete walkway.  I've included above water shot for perspective as well as a 360 view.  Note fish hugging the wall towards the surface.  Measures approx 1 foot long

Neat photos.

So, do you really like the 360, and would
you recommend other people getting it if
it is in their budget?

ITGEEK guy,  I will have to say that I am not comfortable making a call either way yet.  There are times when it looks really good and times when it looks like the image is stretched in a circular manner.  as if the sweep is dumping data faster than the SO, The jury is still out on this one so they say.  A couple more weeks of tweaking the settings and if I am not happy I would be willing to drive it to HBHQ for some hands on training in setup and to check the unit itself.

summary,  the potential is there and so far I am somewhat convinced that it is not meeting it's full potential because of operator adjustments.

I think we will soon have a 360 forum here so hopefully others will post screen shots for comparison.

HTH

Looks like you know pretty well how to dial in you SI view.

thanks but I always think it could be better.  water, bottom, range, turbidity, depth, GAAAAH, why does it always have to be different around the next point?  seems I make more than one pass at anything that looks interesting adjusting each time.  Maybe I should scan instead of fish?  Nah
