Tow Camera System
Overview
The Tow Camera System is designed to capture and store underwater observations (live HD & 4K recording). Field-tested and ocean-ready, the system is a drop camera alternative. It is ideal for marine observation, seafloor mapping, fisheries research, conservation, and search and rescue that need to cover a large amount of area in a short period of time.
Key features:
-
The system includes a sturdy frame, up to 410m of kevlar tow cable, a Rayfin Coastal camera, adjustable LEDs and lasers for precision and superior footage.
Optional electric winch available to deploy your system
-
A smart alternative to expensive AUV and ROV deployments for collecting high-quality seafloor images, video and data.
-
The hydro-dynamic tow frame enables a stable platform while maintaining a constant altitude. The unique design allows the system to maneuver over obstacles like rocks or fishing traps.
-
Power your system, and have real-time control and monitoring of video and data topside with SubC’s Boost-Power Comms technology.
-
The system saves you time on data synthesis and report generation with compatibility for post-survey workflows such as BIIGLE.
-
SubC believes in environmental stewardship and has designed the system to have minimal contact with the seafloor.
