Humminbird Helix 5 Sonar G2

The proven basis of the Helix series: The Humminbird Helix 5 Sonar G2 with Dual Beam Sonar shows impressive performance - and in color!

The Humminbird Helix 5 Sonar G2

It impresses with many of the features of the expensive and large models such as: the powerful Dual Beam PLUS sonar with SwitchFire function and the almost intuitive menu system.

The Helix 5 G2 sonar particularly shines where an echo sounder is needed but there is little space available: inflatable boat captains and belly boat pilots have plenty of space and the motorboat commander can also accelerate without a care in the world after a casual look at the safe depth.

But that's not all - thanks to the incredibly useful "Fish ID" display feature, the Helix 5 G2 sonar automatically detects fish and displays them directly at the correct depth. The encoder is equipped with a 6m long cable - so you can enjoy complete freedom in the mounting position of the screen.

This is where the qualities of the 5 inch TFT color display (256 colors) with a resolution of 800x480 pixels become apparent. Even without GPS and chart plotter functions, it is clear that you get more than expected in this class.

The Humminbird Helix 5 Sonar G2 also impresses with its easy-to-adjust functions such as sensitivity, image detail (zoom), the displayed depth range and many more.

Conclusion:

Compact and with a lot of power, the Helix 5 Sonar G2 always proves to be a solid choice.

Special features in detail:

DualBeam Plus sonar

For best representations: The transducer sends out two (dual) sonar wave cones. A cone operates at a frequency of 83kHz with an opening angle of 60° for large-scale scanning or deep areas. The second has a higher frequency (200kHz) for much more detail and a significantly smaller beam angle (20°) for more precise object detection.

In the display, both cones are optionally combined for the “best of both worlds”. However, depending on the application, each frequency can be displayed individually.

SwitchFire technology

Full perspective – unfiltered. The original Humminbird SwitchFire offers you the choice:

“Clear” mode: The device’s computing power takes over the noise suppression and “filters out” suspended matter and interference displays. This always results in a clear picture with only the important structures and fish.

“Max” mode: Here the digital “filters” are switched off. Every echo that the transmitter receives is displayed. With a little experience, even thermoclines, turbulences and small objects can be recognized here. Who his bait
