The underwater recording quality is the core standard to judge the performance of a visual fish finder. We conducted in-water recording tests under the same water area and depth for our two mainstream models, intuitively presenting their imaging differences to help global anglers and distributors select the right model for specific fishing scenarios.

3.5-inch Basic Model – Popular Ice Fishing Model in Japan & South Korea

Core Specs: 320W Pixels, 1.3mm Ultra-thin Cable, Built-in Video Recording Function

As a classic and market-proven model, our 3.5-inch basic visual fish finder has gained great popularity among ice fishing enthusiasts in Japan and South Korea, featuring high cost performance and excellent portability.

Recording Performance: Equipped with 320W pixels, this model delivers balanced and stable color images. In well-lit shallow water, it can clearly display fish outlines, underwater sand and stone conditions, and bait status. The built-in recording function perfectly supports basic underwater video recording, helping anglers record fishing spots and analyze fish feeding habits for later review.

Cable Advantage: Adopts 1.3mm ultra-thin flexible cable. It ensures ultra-smooth deployment and retraction through ice holes without jamming, greatly reducing operation resistance. Meanwhile, the thin cable takes up little storage space, making it extremely portable for outdoor ice fishing.

Applicable Scenarios: Ideal for ice fishing and shallow-water fishing with sufficient natural light. It is the best entry-level choice for anglers and bulk buyers who only need basic visual observation and video recording functions with a limited budget.

Limitations: The image brightness decreases in deep water and low-light environments, resulting in dark-toned videos, and it cannot present full-color images in dim underwater conditions.

2026 Upgraded Model – 1080P Low-Light Full-Color Fish Finder

Core Specs: 1080P HD Resolution, Low-Light Full-Color Technology, HD Video Recording

The 2026 new upgraded model adopts an upgraded high-sensitivity imaging chip, which greatly optimizes the low-light underwater shooting capability and solves the pain point of dark and colorless images in dim fishing environments.

Recording Performance: With 1080P full HD resolution, the recording details are comprehensively upgraded. Tiny details such as fish fin movements, bait particles and waterweed textures can be recorded clearly and truly. The core low-light full-color technology enables the camera to present vivid full-color images all the time, even in dark environments including deep water, cloudy days and under-ice low-light conditions. No black-and-white switching, ensuring complete and real-time recording of fish group dynamics in all light conditions.

Imaging Advantages: In bright and clear shallow water, it delivers sharper images with less noise and richer details than the basic model. In low-light environments, the performance gap is more obvious: the basic model suffers from dark and blurry images, while the 2026 upgraded model maintains stable high-definition full-color recording, capturing every subtle movement of fish groups accurately.

Applicable Scenarios: Perfect for deep-water ice fishing, open-water deep fishing, dawn and dusk fishing. It is the preferred professional model for anglers and merchants who pursue high-definition imaging, detailed underwater recording and all-scenario adaptability.
