Three versions will be available:

  • DIY Development Platform (the ROV chassis and thrusters): aimed at the homemade ROV market
  • Standard Version: fully wired with camera and 50’ tether with controls and video out to use your own screen
  • Deluxe Version: as the standard version but including a 150ft tether, daylight viewable 7” LCD and a Waterproof pelican case.

All versions will be available with tether upgrades up to 500 feet and aux lighting. While still in pre-production, F5 Robotics are now taking advance orders.
