Originally designed for deploying ROVs and sensors from an Autonomous Surface Vessel (ASV), the CROC Mini is ideal for any portable or remote application utilizing small diameter tether. In its most basic form, it offers a manual payout and retrieval, and can store up to 200 m of 5 mm diameter cable. Or, with the smart control option, including an embedded controller and DC-motor, the CROC Mini can be operated over wireless systems or perform semi-autonomous payout and retrieval functions.
