Does anyone have any experience with the following fishfinders:

[Humminbird HELIX 8](https://humminbird.johnsonoutdoors.com/fish-finders/helix/helix-8-chirp-gps-g4n)

or

[Garmin Striker 4](https://fishfinderer.com/best-fish-finder-gps-combo/)

I use two different kayaks. I like the idea of a unit that is all in one and can be clamped to the side of the kayak. Most of my fishing is in less than 40ft of water.

I was a wonder:  
1 - Are they any good?  
2 - Do they have decent battery life?  
3 - What is the difference between down imaging and dual? I don’t have any fishfinder experience.

Thanks.
