    Default Mega Live compared to Livescope


    I had my Mega Live out for the 1st time today. Overall very pleased.
    Here are a couple of screenshots comparing ML to LS.
    I'll do a full report tomorrow Overall results between them were close.

    Nice! Following along. I've got livescope and am pretty much committed now that I bought a 12 inch screen.

    I forgot to post the top picture is Mega Live, the bottom picture is Livescope.
    The ML image is a little too hot for me and I need to learn how to tone it down a little.
    But I actually prefer the ML image over the LS one here.

    The LS does a better job overall when searching beyond 50' in forward view.
    LS also does a little better in tracking your bait even though both worked. I was casting 1/16 and 1/32 plastics and could track both up to 40' or so. Within 20' or so they were pretty equal.Slight edge to LS.

    Dead spots have been a major pain to me with LS. Yesterday not so much. Both had dead spots but the one with LS was wider and bigger than the one with ML. The dead spot with ML only showed up once yesterday and it was very narrow like LS used to be before the Perspective View update. ML has the edge here IMO.
    Top picture LS, bottom ML. Not the same brush pile.

    Overall performance was close between both. Both work well.
    Hopefully I can get out again soon and try to dial in the ML a little more.
    The concern from many was that the Mega Live images were going to be sub par as compared to LS.
    Overall I think they are close. All opinions welcomed.

    Thank you Roy! You know where I am with ML and will be looking forward to more screen shots and your narrative of what's going on in the picture.

    If time permits next time out,see if you can replicate your shallow water brush pile video where you move in and out from the brush showing the dead spot, for each unit.

    I know you already did the LS, but do the test again with each unit on the same day and bush for an accurate(same conditions) comparison.

    Maybe throw in a dock/pier piling video also?

    Not asking too much, eh?


    Thanks Roy

    MikeF,
    I will try to redo that video showing both units. Yesterday the LS was causing interference on the ML when both were running. Found out where the frequency noise rejection is and will try that next time out.
    I did fish some docks yesterday and to me the performance was about equal. I hope to get on some rock piles next time out.
    I love testing this electronic stuff almost as much as fishing!
    Thanks guys for the feedback.
