VIDEO LANDER

VIDEO LANDER

The Video Lander is an economical stationary robotic tool rated to 300 meters. It integrates stereo video cameras and lights on a rotating boom that pans 360 degrees, protected within a rugged frame.

Video recording occurs subsurface for maximum fidelity, while providing real-time viewing topside on board the ship. Software allows sizing and range to be determined to 1-2 mm.

The Stereo Video Lander is designed to be dropped from a ship of opportunity. It requires power at 110 VAC, 5 AMP minimum.
