At the size of that it might be quite light weight, so it might bring some problems especially with tether. I just thought that smaller size might have been better with those kind a powerless brushed motors but then I bought that Arduino decided to try to use more powerful brushless motors. So the s...

New design made with Creo 2.0. That might not be the final design because the size (20x20x15 cm) is maybe to small. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/iq2_VH4RK37hCROzQ-CkPDZ8r4JYQCfg8PvRVa7dKu55MSQ8vdzLwdhk1HsYADy5dhWgX_LtCEulWxiiFGB-xDOUas8I4uAH90BjQXYngcbGbzWg3Mif4ssVZ2gJjPRCjIn3YYa8g5Pp3F3iMnSlID...

Now the size of the floats is better: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/ZTenocG63z7Pj2pSMCI6K3LJs4sWU4sHcPqAnHZv9B8=w1298-h865-no Propellers came today but motor still takes 9-12A.. Smaller motors are coming lets see how much current they will take. If it is over 5A I'm in trouble... https://lh4.goo...

Looks nice! I'm thinking same kind of design for the camera housing.

Maybe you are right. It's better keep it simpe. Makeing tilt with a waterproofed servo wouldn't be bad idea. Actually I have there one broken servo which I could try to do waterproof and make camera tilt with it. Thank you for the idea! Let's see how it gonna work.

Okay, thank you. I have to think about this camera thing a bit more.

Hi! Which one of these two would be better solution for the camera housing? Camera tilt would be easier to do in the second one but would it deform video how much? I have seen that people use both ones but the first seems to be more common (with flat/dome plexiglass). So what would you guys recommen...

Hi! I have just started to built my first ROV. Tethers are 30m long and it includes main power cable (1,5 mm² speaker wire), CAT5E Ethernet cable for controlling and video cable (two RCA plug and power cable for camera). I'll use arcade joystick and relays for control the thrusters. Let's see how th...

Thanks. And thank you for that tip. I'll mount the motors like you said.

I made a new 3D model..

It's a bit smaller than the previous one, size is about 30X30X30cm.
