If you need to inspect the footings of a dock or the hull of a ship, or you want to capture beautiful images and video of undersea creatures and plants, or if you just want to see what lies beneath the surface, you could pull on a dry suit and scuba gear, mount a camera in an expensive waterproof housing, and dive. Or you could launch the Cine Gears Remote Operated Underwater Vehicle and do your underwater photography and exploring by remote control, from the comfort of your boat deck or dry land.
The Cine Gears ROV takes 20MP photos, shoots 4K video, and streams a 1080p video feed to your phone or tablet using a free app. Propelled by three thrusters at speeds up to 3 knots (five feet per second), the drone dives, climbs, and turns under your command, controlled by a video game-style console with joysticks and a bracket for your phone or tablet. The drone is equipped with two 2000-lumen LED headlights with eight brightness levels, a 120-degree beam and a sunlight-mimicking 5500K color temperature. Its camera offers a very wide 162-degree field of view, a fast f/2.8 lens, a 20MP 1" CMOS sensor, sensitivity up to ISO 12,800, and three shooting modes—fixed focus, macro, and normal.
The 19 x 13” drone comes with a 328' tether, can dive as deep as 328', and runs for 4.5 hours on a full charge. The joysticks provide seamless control in six directions, and navigation options include high and low speeds, automatic cruise, fixed depth, and underwater suspension. Whether for recreation, photography, or industrial use, the Cine Gears ROV is a highly capable, user-friendly tool for exploring the undersea world.
