Drop Camera System
Ready-to-deploy drop camera system for small vessels, rated to 400 m, for vertical drops and drifting surveys with no seafloor contact.
Description
The Drop Camera System is a complete underwater imaging system for researchers, environmental monitoring teams and marine operators. It is deployed from small vessels for vertical drops and drifting surveys. Because it makes no seafloor contact, it suits marine protected areas, coral reefs and environmental impact assessments. It uses a rugged aluminum drop frame with a stabilization tail and a Rayfin Coastal HD/4K camera. It records depth, altitude, GPS, time, tilt, roll and temperature, and when paired with DVR+ embeds metadata directly in images.
