$47,763 USD
Want to take your micro ROV experience to the next level? The PHOTON NAV delivers a wide range of capabilities from a tiny package. This under 10kg ROV unlocks map position tracking and BRIDGE’s sensor fusion capabilities for autonomous station keeping to give users the easiest experience in even the harshest conditions.
6 Thrusters, tough aluminum and carbon fiber shell, and flexible power options. A true suitcase ROV.
Building on the base package, the NAV package provides additional capabilities and features, including a moving map tracking capability, autonomous stabilization features, and a tool skid with a grabber.
Enhanced 4K Camera
The high quality lens upgrade and proprietary image processing algorithms through Deep Trekker’s Bridge software provide users with an optimal underwater viewing experience including a wider field of view, enhanced clarity and auto colour correction.
Advanced Position Locating and Tracking
The PHOTON NAV package provides pilots with a map showing their ROV’s position on screen, allowing users to see where they are, leave a trail to show where they have been, and set points of interest where they want to return to. This is especially useful for applications in open, murky water or when there is a significant current.
Built to last
Designed to provide years of service the PHOTON is made for tough jobs. Built with tough materials like carbon fiber and aluminum, paired with magnetically coupled drives, stainless steel components, and acrylic lens cover ensure durability in the harshest of conditions.
Stability and power
Equipped with 6 strong thrusters powered by lithium-ion batteries or an optional direct power kit, the PHOTON provides users with stability, power, speed, and control in a portable package. Lateral movement and ??-degree range of motion on the 4K camera allow users to complete inspections in a timely, straightforward manner.
Portability
Under 20 pounds and contained within a Pelican case, the PHOTON is easily portable. With a ROV battery tube under 100whr, the PHOTON is certified for both passenger and cargo airplanes for easy and convenient travel. Ease of portability means that one vehicle can be used for numerous jobs at several locations.
Straightforward operations
With the handheld 7” LCD controller and straightforward operations, the PHOTON is easy to use allowing operators to be trained quickly. Lateral movement simplifies navigation during remote inspection work. Finally, the modular design makes adding tools convenient – even in the field.
