I bet by now some of you have already seen or heard of these. You have a tennis ball sized transducer that sends a bluetooth signal to your smartphone or tablet. A free application displays the signal. In the case of this particular product, the Deeper by Friday Labs, the app supports a flasher mode for ice fishing as well as a more standard looking sonar mode where the image pans from side to side.
Ice fishing mode on this unit uses a 290kHz signal at a 15° cone angle. I did some fairly extensive testing to measure signal lag, interference, battery life, etc. and put together a video review on it. For hole hopping, it's really nice. It does have limitations for all day fishing, though.

Haha that black thing up by the ceiling? It's a flatscreen TV mount that pivots.
