Is the Deep Trekker Pivot ROV with NAV Package the Best Choice for our Underwater Videos? We Think So!



We like what the Deep Trekker PIVOT ROV with NAV Package has for features and benefits. Such features as extreme stability, upgradeable option for enhanced 4K camera, integrated sonar, and USBL positioning systems for navigation.

Currently the team at Coral Heads have been recording educational video of coral reefs, artificial reefs, and shipwrecks. Over the past year we have been testing and researching various underwater cameras, drones, and ROV’s. Mostly using entry level, micro or mini class, and consumer-based drones. Yes, we have been playing with our GoPro’s and several Paralenz Vaquita’s too.

In that time, we have begun refining our wants and needs when it comes to purchasing a professional Observation Class ROV. Before we go farther into this post, we are not sponsored by Deep Trekker nor any other ROV manufacturers. Also, ROV stands for Remotely Operated Vehicle and we often refer to them as Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicles on our website and videos.

There are many more ROV and Underwater Drone companies that I need to add and update their vehicles. Kind of lost track of time.

Do you have a drone company that we need to add to our list? I've seen some very cool drones and rov's come out this year. But so far the two I like are made by Deep Trekker. So impress me! Show me what you got...
