Homebuilt ROVs Forum

We did one last test this year before winter. We went to hidden lake. I will post video soon.

Hi
I was wondering if you do any thing to you camera housing to keep the leds from creating glare and blocking the camera's view?I have a ROV with a IR camera but when the lights come on, the camera is blinded.
Thanks

Hi I recommend the Security Labs SLC-137C Color Waterproof Camera. It is waterproof down to 90ft, has 65ft of cable, and is color or IR night vision.It is what I use on my ROV. I have it in a waterproof case so I can go to 100ft. I have a build log in the ROV projects section. Here is a link http://...

The ones on the ROV are the ballast tanks. They are used to raise and lower the ROV. The one on the control board is to pressurize the ballast tanks.

I have rule inline pumps on my ROV. I recently did a test down to 75ft and had no problem.

Hi
We did another test on the ROV the other day. We built the control board and attached all 4 motors. We sent the ROV down to 75ft. The motors worked perfectly at that depth.I will post footage of the ROV soon.

Hi
I did a test run of the ROV today.It went down to 50ft. The motor and the ballast tank worked perfectly. We forgot the plug for the camera so I don't have ROV view footage.I will post pictures soon.

I am going to add zinc plates to it.

Here are a couple of pictures of my latest test. I tested the ballast, camera, and motor.
