- How to Choose An Underwater Drone
The Chasing Innovation Gladius Mini is supplied in a nice backpack (not unlike one photographer who might use to carry a body and lenses), with a laptop in a separate bay. Setting up is reasonably easy – an included towel means you can set the drone down on sharp coastal rocks safely. On the downside, the protective caps for the 50m or 100m tether ...
The Fifish is available as a standard V6 and the V6S includes the robot arm accessory. On its own, this is a good quality ROV with a 100m maximum depth and tether to match. The controller is reminiscent of a drone controller, with a space for a phone as a monitor. It's easy to use, and the posture lock (‘hover’) maintains position accurately, but w...
This is in many respects a smaller version of Chasing’s Gladius Mini. It’s certainly the same striking yellow and pleasingly incorporates the maneuverable five-thruster design, which makes it possible to tilt the body (and, by extension, the camera) up and down. If you think that might make it hard to control, worry not – the depth lock feature is ...
Traveling underwater is not a friendly environment for high-frequency radio used for the live video feedback on aerial drones, so the PowerRay is provided with a 70m (230ft) umbilical cable that gently rests behind it as it is propelled by its two horizontal props. The body also features a central vertical thruster to make changing depth a straight...
Chasing is a big brand in the ROV world, and the M2 makes it obvious why. The eight corner-mounted thrusters are operated from a joypad-style control, so piloting through the water at a nifty 3 knots is an accessible experience to all. The built-in camera is an ƒ/1.8 12 megapixel affair with a 1 / 2.3 CMOS and electronic stabilization so the motors...
The BW Space Pro might not be the fastest of the drones here, but it is a quality product built with photographers in mind, which is why it's offered with a range of different cameras, including a 6x zoom lens (the benefits of which, in water, are open to debate). The aperture is, relatively speaking, at the wider end (f/1.5) for underwater drones,...
This is a real traditionalist's underwater explorer robot, which is not only very capable but looks the part too (though is not actually quite as big as it might seem at first glance; viewed from above it’s about the size of a letter). Control is via a generous 300m cable, supplied on a reel, and an iOS or Android app (unless you opt for the Ground...
Like its natural namesake, the PowerDolphin skims along the surface, able to see above and below. Piloting is very familiar to aerial drone operators, featuring as it does a phone-ready remote controller with an app that uses your phone as a monitor (this will be very familiar to PowerEgg X users since it’s the same controller and the same Vision+ ...
If you feel you’d like to get down there with the glories of the deep rather than just pilot a camera then the Trident underwater scooter is the device for you. Built with a sizeable lithium battery to pull you along through the water, and simple controls the S2 builds on the success of their IndieGoGo-launched first generation. Photographers are n...
Choosing a drone to explore beneath the surface isn’t the same as picking your ideal aerial drone. While, on the plus side, you’re unlikely to be forced into a weight category by aviation authority regulations, flying drones do have the advantage of traveling through the air, where radio waves travel relatively freely. Water isn’t a friendly enviro...
A remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROUV) [citation needed] or remotely operated vehicle (ROV) is a free-swimming submersible craft used to perform underwater observation, inspection and physical tasks such as valve operations, hydraulic functions and other general tasks within the subsea oil and gas industry, military, scientific and other ...
