Well, I think the below link is the current model of the handheld finder I
have for ice fishing.

It's improved... mine has the lcd down near the sensor at the bottom which
requires either laying on your belly, or lifting up the unit to read.

It's about the size of a flashlight that uses 2 D cell batteries, but it's
lighter. If that link doesn't work, do a search for Marcum LX-i Hand Held
Sonar.

My fishing buddy is also older and looks kinda like this picture ...

I believe the unit there is a III, mine is a II. It runs off 2 C cells
