I enjoy building interesting things like this underwater drone / rov and i couldn't do it without the HELP of my Patreon Supporters.
Support the Drasticg channel on Patreon HERE!

This is a quick build and test of the underwater ROV but if you would like to see the full version of the build head over to my 2nd channel called Drasticg Projects HERE!
• Video
This underwater rov/drone was relatively easy apart from sourcing the parts from eBay and amazon as some parts where very hard to find at a cheap price.
Another problem is the visibility of the waterways in the UK and with winter upon us the water clarity isn't the best so it may be a summer project to use the rov/drone.

Wow G that's turned out amazingly well. Considering it's being put in a canal which in England means liquid that's more of a soup than your traditional water it returns some lovely images. If you're planning on improvements one thing I think you could easily achieve with a single servo is a mechanism to tilt the camera forward and backwards. Front facing camera is well and good for navigation but if you can make it point 45 degrees downwards you can look at the canal bed without having to get so close you either hit it or disturb a load of silt. Also, I can see you've got the tether and data line mounted to one of the floats, ideally you need this mounted directly behind the center of forward thrust, if its to the side it'll cause uneven drag and make the unit turn unintentionally, if it's above or below it'll pitch. Awesome work though, really interesting build.

Well done. You could improve the speed/ effectiveness of the props by using fishing line on the umbilical. The nylon rope creates added drag. Prop guards come with their own problems i.e. loss of power due to cavitation. Try reducing the drag first and see how you go.

Nice work 👍 I think it would be a good idea to use some guards around the props and also fix the camera on a tilt/pan gimbal. You can also use a 2.4ghz radio set and some ESC on the motors for precise control. 2.4 ghz should be able to penetrate into the water, but even if it won’t, Rx can be wired out and float on surface.

I like the camera setup you used. Great pictures! I know its not clear but you can't help the water clarity. As far as drives, I've seen similar projects using boat bilge pumps. Andvantages: already water-tight, 12 Volt, powerful, protected impellers, and easy to wire. The disadvantages are that they only thrust in one direction so you will need six instead of three. If you do use them get one's without built-in float switches. When installing the thrusters, instead of pointing them directly backwards, try installing them pointed 45 deg towards the center line of the craft. This will allow you to turn in place.
