The 360 imaging seems pretty similar to Humminbird's. The motorized pole seems neat, but I don't know about $2000 neat. If you have the cash to put the whole system together, it would be pretty cool, but these prices nowadays are staggering.

I think I'll be sticking with what I have, but it's always neat to see the latest and greatest.

I've wanted to do a DIY motorized pole by taking an older auto-pilot trolling motor, removing the head, and mounting the transducer on the pole. Open water I could independently control the direction Livescope is pointed and potentially use the auto-pilot feature to keep it pointed in the direction I want while the boat drifts, turns, etc. Just haven't gotten around to it yet!

I'd be curious as to how this would work for you.
