Hi all , just seeing if anyone out there is using a tzt2 as a standalone fishfinder ? and if so your thoughts good and bad, is it a pain to adjust sounder settings etc any info appreciated before i buy one, cheers.

Trialled the TZ2 on the boat before they launched.

Found the sounder worked really well.

Changing the settings through the menu does take a bit of getting used to but isn't that hard.

Looking at changing out my HDS for one in the future as funds allow

Good idea. Not a bad option for a budget night vision option.

I like those mounts. Would be good for the go pro.
