Details:
StarFish is a revolutionary high definition side scan sonar system which produces near photographic-quality images of the seabed. Built to a unique, innovative design, StarFish is currently the smallest side scan towfish on the market measuring less than 15" long!
Instead of the usual side scan torpedo-shape, StarFish uses advanced hydrodynamic principles to stabilize the sonar by using three fins across the entire sonar body which combine to force the flow of water over the StarFish and keep it steady. Each side fin is angled 30 degrees down from horizontal providing a stable, rigid platform to house the sonar transducers.
Utilizing Tritech's Digital Sonar Chirp Technology developed from the professional underwater survey industry, StarFish makes hi-tech seabed imaging accessible to anyone. Whether surveying lakes, rivers or open ocean for dive sites, submerged structures, shipwrecks or research purposes, StarFish gives you the capability to capture images of the seabed at the most remote locations - even in low visibility waters.
The StarFish ships ready to go with software, 20 meter tether, topside processing unit and towfish included. Simply load the ScanLine software on your Windows based computer, plug the topside processing unit to a computers USB port, connect the tether, supply 12VDC and begin scanning the seabed.
