Re: leak detection
Thanks to both of you,
I took a look at the detector recommended by Derelicte and sold by FloodStop, they sell additional/replacement units for $13.00.

leak detection
Hi All,
A few forum members have mentioned using a leak detection system within the pressure chamber. How is this done? Possibly by monitoring the internal pressure and humidity???

Re: Pan, Tilt and Roll
Hi All, I agree that dome is very large, too large. It reduced to 200mm when, on the advice of forum members, I took out the roll function, but as Derelicte pointed out that’s not much of a saving. On reflection I would have been better of starting from working out the amount of camera movement requ...

Re: Good Lighting
Hi, My understanding (and I accept that I might be wrong) is that in general the light source should be placed behind the camera and to avoid backscatter, situated a suitable distance apart to each side. As shown – Dscent303. I have taken my inspiration from the excellent ROV designed by Jonas Reiff...

Re: Pan, Tilt and Roll
Hi derelicte, Size is dictated by my preference of camera and the degree of movement required. I choose the GoPro Hero 2 because it is used by divers as an underwater camera, with high-quality wide angle HD 1080 video, and 11 megapixel photographs which it can capture at 10 frames per second. The ca...

Re: Pan, Tilt and Roll
Hi thamlin, I found a company that molds plastic for exhibitions and point of sale display, they also make custom replacement windows for boats. I havn't placed an order yet as I still need to finish the design of the pressure chamber but they have said that they can form an optically clear 225mm do...
