Here is a video of my first ROV build 2009.

Now I'm working on my second one.

// Xenonfire

That was pretty cool. I like how it can roll over.
What are you looking to do different on the next one?

I was just playing around yesterday. =)

I'll go for 500meters and HD-cam.

For the moment I'm in the part of designing the thrusters.
I really need one good construction with magnetic coupling.

Very nice Xenon,

what depth have you got with your current setup?

Many thanks!! =)

First I planned for 100 meters, but the local shop was wrong about the sealings for the thruster.
They said that the sealing for the thruster was made for 10bars, but infact it was not. =(

I have been down to 27 meters without any leakage soo far =)

Here is some more old videos.
Sorry for the bad water quality, ( Fresh water ).
You could also see the the servo for the motor is lagging in this old videos, I have now change the servo and its no more lagging.

Do you have any info on your thrusters? what motors, props and so on? Looks quite powerful and fast!

I use Turnigy 42-60C 500kv and run this on LiPo 4s 8600mAh.
The props is 65mm 3 blades.

Is really powerful and very fun to play with.

Don't think I need bigger props

Wow what a cool ROV!

What OSD are you using to get your amps on screen?

I'm using the Eagle Tree OSD PRO in my ROV.

Hi
Your project is the best I have seen on this site.
I was watching the vídeos and I was amazed how good is your ROV.
I have a question

The control of the ROV is using a radio controlled radio and a receiver on the ROV?
