    I am a backer and have suggested that they make a connector that would allow 2 ( or more) tethers together so the user could have more length.
    I've also suggested an attachment point for a safety line ( fishing line) on the buoy. That would be handy if you were in a location where you could not get down to the water, like on a pier.

    My brain is still working and I've come up with an idea for a safety line to the buoy. Tie a short piece of fishing line, 30# or so, to the buoy end connector or the tether itself and make a loop in the free end. Now get a Cuban Reel ( available online for under $5) and attach about 20 meters of line on it with a snap swivel at the end so you can attach it to the loop. Now you have a safety line for the buoy and a tangle free place to store the tether.

    I get over 2 hours on mine because I stalk fish slowly or just lie in wait . There is no ROV that can chase a fish down. Go slow and give the fish time to et used to it. I do have he controller (same as the Gladius Mini) which is easier than the touch screen control. I tried to get shots of a mother and her calf today, but they were not sure about it and left the area. I'm not sure if it was the Dory or other boaters that came by that caused teme to move ; anyway I did not chase them. I do agree about the tether length and asked Chasing to consider making a tether connector so two tethers could be joined together. If they dis we would have to remember not to exceed the max depth of 15 meters.

    • @Techtablets
      @Techtablets  4 роки тому

      Thanks for the post, yes A bit more line length for getting right out to areas would be perfect or a connection to pair two like you say.

    Thanks Chris, for yet another interesting review, of some great underwater drone, for what it seems! Can't wait for the "Ulefone" replicas of 250 € start showing up, with detachable tethers, malfunctioning (due to poor quality control / rushed copy replica methods) and People losing them at an 10 or 20 meters bottom, sea bed... Keep up the good work Chris!

    Look awesome but I don't trust any kickstarts anymore. So many stolen funds and products not delivered with money never refunded. Do yourself a favor people, wait until there is a finished product for sale before you part with any of your money.
    Awesome review tho. Thank you, Double T.
