They are coming WAY down in price. West Marine now lists them in their boating supplies catalog.

AQUABOTIX HydroView Sport Remote-Controlled Underwater Vehicle | West Marine

Very limited for depth and cable distance (75').


This one is the ROV featured on America Unearthed (where it was pretty dismal for image quality) and is a lot cheaper but has potential. FPV (first person video) is exploding for radio controlled aircraft and it will carry-over to submersibles.

Who is old man ?

He is a mean, Grumpy Old sob. A friend of aquanuts that wants to talk to you at the picnic about your rov.

I preordered the OpenROV this winter during it's early kickstarter phase and they're still promising to have them ship by end of summer this year. I'm stoked to get it, but am happy to wait until they get it right in production. I'll let everyone know when it arrives and how it works out.

Here is an recent update to how the product is coming along in case anyone is interested in the read.

The BlueROV2 is my recommendation for when you need something that can do some actual work. https://bluerobotics.com/product-category/rov/
