What are underwater Drone Inspections?

Underwater Drones are fast becoming the go to for deep sea inspections across the world. Using an ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) inspection, saves on cost, efficiency and lessens human risk as deep sea divers are not as needed as much as once before, in the oil & gas sectors. An ROV, on a general level, is connected to a cable which is used to communicate to the remote control, providing visual feedback to the piloting monitor when taking pictures. And this will allow engineers to spot problems and areas for repair or replacement. Some underwater Drones vary but the Falcon ROV can carry up to 14kg payload and can submerge itself up to 300m. The camera, as you can imagine is one of the most important components of an underwater Drone. And one is the DTG3 which is designed to work well in low light. The 4k internal camera gives a 270 degree rotation. The visual feedback is up to 8 megapixels. Another is the Revolution underwater camera. This has greater payload capabilities, deeper ...

Using Drones to film sporting events
