Homebuilt ROVs Forum

I have mounted a GoPro Hero3+ in my ROV and I realized that the GoPro can't focus behind a Dome. I will try to fix it with an extra lens in front of the camera. Do anyone here know what diopter I shall use? Or, is there another solution?

Kale

I found what I was looking for. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-DOF-Pan-and-Tilt-With-MG995-Servos-Sensor-Mount-for-Arduino-Robot-DIY-/160934064015?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25786aef8f Ah, very cool. Looks perfect, and you can't beat the price. I found out that this piece was way to big of my ROV.

+1 for that.

It's a piece of art you got there!

Thanks Ken! I hope I can do a harbor dive this week. My tether is only 10 meter long...

I have done some testing today. Everything seems to be ok.

I really like your design. Where did you find the material for the hull? I wanted a similar type of setup for my rov but good luck getting much of anything in my town. We are the fastest growing city in Canada and as such, materials are very hard to get. It's blasted stainless steel. Any workshop m...

Now a new variant with less evocative appearance. When I have figured out what volume it need to be I will make it from divinycell or polyurethane blocks.

Imagination surged when I finally got the thumb off to design the floating body to my ROV!
