Say Hello to HELIX 7

Posted by editor on July 1, 2015

This year the Humminbird HELIX™ 5 shattered all expectations for features and price, literally selling out at retailers across the globe. As anglers hit the water with HELIX, feedback was consistently positive … even passionate.

Now welcome the HELIX™ 7 Series, the latest addition to the HELIX family of compact-format fishfinders, which features a best-in-class, widescreen color display and powerful, professional-grade features. 

One look at the HELIX 7 Series and there’s no mistaking its Humminbird DNA. Packed to the gills with technology, the HELIX 7 is easy to use, dependable under any circumstances and unbelievably clear, bright and fast—not to mention built right here in the U.S.A.

“In Humminbird’s history there have been a lot of successes, but HELIX 5 was immensely popular, bringing anglers of all walks advanced features at an unprecedented price. HELIX 7 is all that andwith a larger, brighter and glare-free display. Our engineers really raised the bar with HELIX 7 in terms of features and value at this size. We feel the HELIX 7 Series will be equally popular,” says Humminbird Brand Manager, Jeff Kolodzinski

Even in full sun, the jaw-dropping 480x800 HD resolution and 1500 nit brightness glass-bonded display delivers a clear and precise picture of fish and fish-holding structure. Plus, the ultra-wide 16:9 ratio screen gives anglers ample room for split-screen views, making fishing and navigating even easier. The built-in quick-release gimbal mount makes angle adjustments and removal easy.

All units feature X-Press Menu System keypad control, 480Vx800H x 7-inch, 256-color TFT display, and allows for gimbal mounting, or in-dash mounting with optional kit.
