What's the camera you have on your ROV?

-Tristan

its a color fishing camera that I bought off ebay. $75.00 bucks. The camera was yellow but I painted it white.

Thats awesome!! Great job! I get so inspired

Thanks!!! I plan on posting another video Saturday 5.21.11. By then I should have all the bugs worked out.

Can't wait!

Looks great what brand of bilge pumps did you use and how well do they work?

Seachoice 600 ghp. They work fine, I have no complaints. On the surface it seems to move a little slow but underwater it seems fast.

Great work there! Especially the video of the bass. I am in the how am I going to do this stage - Frame is built, bilge pumps are in place. Next up is the controls - it's a work in progress.

Thanks Captbill. I know all about the work in progress faze. I got through that faze by working on one part at a time. Sometimes it was slow going, but I made it and you will also. Please post pictures of rov on the forum.

If all goes well I will be posting another video in the MISSION FOOTAGE section, on 6.4.11 This time I will be in my raft in the middle of the lake. I will be using a cheap fish finder to get an accurate depth reading and I will be trying out Virtual video glasses to see what the rov is seeing. Its kinda hard to see the video in the computer screen in the daylight. So far I have been using a towel over my head to block the light out.
