Pro 3 ROV Photo Gallery

The VideoRay Pro 3 ROV system (Discontinued as of June 2013) is the technology that propelled VideoRay into the position of Global Leader in Micro-ROV Technology. With its open platform, rugged construction, and ability to integrate with numerous sensors, tools, and sonars, the Pro 3 quickly became the work horse of VideoRay's ROV product line while laying the framework for the latest innovation - the VideoRay Pro 4.

The powerhouse of the product line was the Pro 3 GTO (Greater Thrust Option) which had much larger thrusters than it's Pro 3 E, S, and XE predecessors, capable of propelling the sub at surface speeds up to 4.1 knots. With this power came the ability to pull much more tether and maintain stability in higher current conditions.

The Pro 3 E, S, and XE submersible has a depth rating of 152 m (500 ft) and can fly between 2 and 3 knots.

The Pro 3 E and S Control Panel - this Pro 3 configuration requires a user supplied monitor that can easily be attached through a composite video cable.
