Im located in florida. I think we will have to switch all the connections to seacon penetrators. We are currently looking for a ship that has dynamic position. And the hurricane season to end.
Merci beaucoup de ta réponse est-ce que tu pourrais me dire si la caméra peut s'incliner de haute en bas ou de droite à gauche avec le joystick merci de ta réponse et pour savoir comment cela fonctionne merci par avance
Congratulations on getting a BlueROV, I do not actually own one, but I have helped the guys at Blue Robotics test it at depth and I can say its a great tool and a great value for what it is capable of.
I will attach a weight at 800 feet, with 50 foot leash for rov to roam. The weight will be at bottom. The current is 2 knots. The rov will clamp on to the weight for travel. Once on bottom i will turn it on. That will save its battery. I have an object i need to see in a specific location. Did your rov have any leaks?
Thats a good plan. Your boat and the weight will drift to some degree, so unless you can keep station somehow (or anchor) you will have to compensate for a slight drift. It can be pretty hard to land on a pinpoint spot at that depth! We did have one leak during that day of testing but it was at the tether penetrator and was an easy fix. Are you in the US?
I would like to know more about the depth the rov reached. The company that made that rov is saying its impossible. I'm not doubting the depth it achieved. How long was the bottom time?
It would be very difficult (but probably not impossible) to get this little ROV down that deep against the current and with the drag of 1000'+ tether all by itself. It would probably be carried way off target due to current, or just run out of battery power before ever getting to the bottom. And even if you made it it would be uncontrollable. However, the ROV is rated for this depth with room to spare as far as I know. We were able to achieve this depth, and could have easily gone deeper because my camera sled (also seen in this video) was used to descend/ascend the ROV. The ROV never had to deal with current or burning battery power driving through the water column. The ROV was attached to the camera sled via about 100' of tether. My camera sled is very heavy and is not bothered by the current like an ROV would be. It was actually the founder of the company and one of his engineers that were flying the ROV in this video, and it was pretty much an off the shelf configuration. I don't recall the bottom time, probably about 30-45 minutes.
Thanks Davide! To my knowledge, the ROV that they used when we tested was only modified with the new aluminum battery and electronics enclosures. Everything else was standard equipment, including the dome port (which actually surprised me that it survived that depth).
Boy !! I try look all the types of fish, was that a long nose skate ? I saw two types of sole I think, maybe dover and rex ?.Please keep it up, I can watch these forever
The sled is an ROV, but it is not as free to move as a regular ROV. It is very heavy and only has thrusters for rotation. The vertical movement is all controlled by the winch on the boat.
Love this stuff. Must be a blast! Thanks :)

I use Seacon connectors on the sled and they work great, one less thing to worry about and maintain.
Another great video. What is the long white/blue looking eel things with legs laying on the bottom? Seems like there are lots of those.
Those are a variety of sea cucumber that I typically only see at about 800' and deeper.

The BROV2 that I have tested would only tilt the camera (Up/Down).
Nathan Perry merci
Bonjour je viens de commander le bluerov2 je voulais de vous demander ce que vous en pensiez merci de votre réponse

Impressive job Nathan , congratulations.
I was wondering how the BlueROV2 has been modified to withstand the 1050 feet depth .
Thank you !
Davide

Yep, that's a Longnose Skate, lots of those at that depth.
Ethernet i assume?
Ethernet, RS-485, video over TP. I use all three to transport different data on this rig.
