I’m interested to get comparison images between the Omniscan 450 FS and Oculus 750. If you have have a BlueROV with an Oculus, some interesting targets, and would be willing to share the results with us we could supply you with an Omniscan 450 FS (to keep!). This would be much cheaper than me buying an Oculus! Private message me if interested.

Hi @ljlukis,
I really like this idea as a way of getting comparison data! It’s great when people can share for mutual benefit 
From a quick search of the forum it looks like both @spotxuv and @Ben595 have previously mentioned having an Oculus 750. Not sure whether they’re interested in helping you out, but I’ve tagged them so they’re at least made aware of your proposal
Yeah, this worked really well. We do have a couple of users now with both systems. Stand by for some favorable results to follow!
Hi Larry,
Did you end up comparing the two? I have available a oculus & can set them up to run at the same time if you like?
We did eventually get our hands on an Oculus M750d, mounted it on our BlueROV2 along with an Omniscan 450 FS (now finally The Reef!) and last fall Nick got this simultaneous capture of a wreck in Lake Minnetonka so you can compare for yourself. For those not familiar with the Oculus M750d, it’s a high end (I don’t know $20-30k? you tell me, I’d like to hear some real prices) forward-looking multibeam sonar vs the $2550 Omniscan (on The Reef!). Here is the video: Omniscan vs Oculus
Alas no Oculus, but I do have a Omniscan 450 FS vs Ping360 video https://youtu.be/mxfdj-xP9M0
Great video @3dMB -
Any reason we shouldn’t make that public or use in our smooth operators guide?? I see it is currently unlisted…
Thanks!
Feel free to link it in - it is unlisted as I am unsure that it is something that anyone looking at my YouTube profile would bother looking at.
