THE HELIX 7 FEATURES
The buzz around the HELIX 7 has been incredibly positive … and for good reason
Historically, one of the biggest problems with fishfinders has been screen brightness and definition. You can have all the bells and whistles in the world but none of them matter if you can’t read the screen in sunlight!
Solving that problem, the HELIX 7 features a jaw-dropping 480×800 HD resolution and 1500 nit brightness (extremely bright) glass-bonded display to deliver a clear and precise picture of fish and fish-holding structure. In layman’s terms, a glare-free screen that is 50% brighter than previous models! Plus, the ultra-wide 16:9 ratio screen gives anglers ample room for split-screen views, making fishing and navigating even easier.
In the video above , Humminbird senior product manager John Luther explains the company’s mission with the HELIX 7 project – how ‘Bird engineers rolled up their sleeves, brainstormed and brought to reality the perfect combination of size, pro features, on-the-water reliability, and value.
Additionally, the HELIX 7 Series is incredibly fast, with two times the D-RAM of the 600 Series, which means faster map loading and screen refreshes to get you fishing faster! Turn the unit on … Bam! There’s the map! Let’s fish!
