Chasing has come a long way and were the first to market at bringing affordable consumer ROVs to the masses. I've tested their entire lineup and am very excited to put the M2 with these accessories through the test. It seems they have implemented all they have learned into this very well engineered ROV.
P.S. Unfortunately the first generation Insta360One X cam sent down on the submarine was TOAST :( from the dive case leak but is only rated for 30 Meters so I was a bit deeper. The new X2 cam is rated deeper (50meters) with new dive case below :)

That sub is pretty amazing. We are now approaching professional level ROV quality at consumer level pricing and availability. You are definitely not boring us while cruising the sea floor.

BTW, what's the secret to getting your amazing kiddos to patiently hang with their awesome dad while you create these top notch reviews? Keep it up.

Great video Dustin! I also own a Chasing M2 and found that plugging FPV goggles into the HDMI port solved the lag issue because the goggles get a signal straight from the controller rather than using the Wi-Fi. I just wanted to put that out there in case it helps. Again, great video.

Hi Dustin, just make sure you rinse your M2 in a bucket of fresh water after use, ours is in for repair after only 2 times using it, all 8 propellers stopped working because “apparently” we didn’t rinse it enough. Just letting you know so you don’t sit with the same issue.

@DustinDunnill 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks. Yes definitely rinse more than you think is good enough. I like to fill a tub bucket or large sink and just turn it on for a while to let the motors soak and move with power. Then take out and shake water out at all angles. Set in sun or dry warm area and rotate it a couple of times while drying for a few days. Blow dryer works well also. It's a lot but will keep these subs running well 🍻

They have fishing maps with coordinates you get and go right to them and would be pretty cool

I live on the big island too but up north on Vancouver Island. Lots of reefs here too just alot colder so water isn't quite as clear. Wow sad to see all that white coral.

Occasional FPV wifi stutter and lag is still a slight issue I hope can be improved. Otherwise, very amazing Underwater ROV. Great progress on the product line 👍

@k1ng401 2 жыл бұрын

Prices here in Aus are $700 for a Dory, $2000 for a Mini, $3000 for the FyFish V6 and $4000 for the M2. You can get them a few hundred cheaper on eBay, Aliexpress or Bangood but I’m not sure if they are legit or what. I wish there was something good between the Dory and the Mini. Not much available secondhand. I’ve seen a Powerray Wizard secondhand for $1200 but I wanted something with tilt hold. The Dory’s depth is too limiting. A dory with a 50m depth and a 100m tether for $1000 would be a sweet buy. I wonder why chasing doesn’t up the depth for the Dory? I would have thought that wouldn’t be hard.

@DustinDunnill 2 жыл бұрын

The Chasing Mini is definitely the most capable around the 1k mark and the next inline to the Dory. I suppose ALL Underwater ROV would have the higher pricing in your location across the board so that wouldn't be a factor?
