Lowrance Elite 4x HDI Fish Finder: Unboxing, Review and Demo
I unbox and review the Lowrance Elite 4x HDI fish finder, talk through options and price points, and demo its screens and menus.
What’s in this video
This is a longer one. I start by talking about what you actually need in a fish finder, the features of the Lowrance Elite 4x HDI with its 83/200 and 455/800 kHz transducer, and other units I looked at, including side imaging units coming to market and price points.
Then I unbox it and demo the unit, walking through the screen navigation and menu options. I also mention the Elite 4x CHIRP model, which is higher resolution than standard HDI, and the Humminbird Helix 5si KVD as a good side imaging and GPS deal. There’s a giveaway at the end.
Key moments
Quick takeaways
- The Elite 4x HDI uses an 83/200 and 455/800 kHz transducer.
- The CHIRP version of the Elite 4x gives higher resolution than the standard HDI.
- If you want side imaging and GPS, the Helix 5si KVD was worth a look.
