small target (body), you will need to perform several shorter range scans. The 5 meter and 10
meter ranges are best for small target searches.

Q)
What is the optimum height off the bottom for the scanning head?
A)
For small targets, the SCAN-650 transducer should be approximately 2 feet from the
bottom.
Q)
If used on a pole, does the motion of the boat affect the scan?
A)
Yes, the motion of the boat will affect the scan. Acceptable images can be captured when
pole mounting the SCAN-650, however, the transducer must be stationary to produce the highest
quality images. Horizontal motion affects the scan more than vertical.
Q)
Most tripods I have seen have a self leveling function. Would that make it hard to see the
contour of the bottom or would a fixed head better keep it on the right plane?
A)
A self leveling tripod is ideal for many situations. Gently sloped bottom contours do not
affect the performance of the SCAN-650. Lowering the
SCAN-650 to the bottom of a lake or pond on a self leveling tripod ensures the scanning head is
perpendicular to the bottom and in the proper position for scanning a fairly level bottom (as is
common in most ponds). As long as the scanning head is perpendicular to a surface, the contour
of that surface will be clear. The SCAN-650 does not know the difference between a level bottom
and a sloped bottom.
