Mission Specialist Pro 4
The world’s most popular small ROV
The VideoRay Pro 4 is one of the most advanced, capable, and versatile small ROVs on the market today. Completely computer-driven by VideoRay Cockpit, a sleek, intuitive, and powerful software platform, the Pro 4 is the most advanced ROV in its class. Its advanced technology and software platform makes it easy to incorporate advanced features such as vehicle autonomous control, the latest imaging sonar, upgraded positioning hardware and software as well as other sensors and tools. Capabilities can be added or removed with either a simple software update or a quick hardware add-on in the field—all without sending the system back to the factory.
The Pro 4 offers features designed to simplify piloting and give advance warning in the case of an issue with the vehicle. These features include:
- 3D tilt compensated compass
- Accelerometer
- MEMission Specialist Gyro
- Leak alarm
- Internal temperature gauge
- Real-time voltmeter
- Depth sensor
The Pro 4 Ultra ROV system is a simpler, lighter version of our standard Pro 4 ROV system. The extremely portable Pro 4 Ultra control panel is about 40% lighter than the standard Pro 4 Control Panel weighing in at 8.4 kg (18.5 lbs).
The Ultra system is the perfect solution for users who only need the most basic functionality of an ROV and is perfectly suited for routine tasks such as basic visual inspections or observations in normal environments down to 305 m (1,000 ft). The Ultra is not recommended for hull crawling or high current situations.
The Ultra is compatible with accessories such as the manipulator, water sampler, laser scaler, and other similar accessories. Accessories such as sonar or the UT Thickness Gauge are not compatible with the Ultra. Users who plan to expand the VideoRay’s capabilities with accessories or complete more advanced missions are advised to consider one of our other Pro 4 configurations.
The VideoRay Pro 4 Standard BASE Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) system has been specifically configured to quickly and effectively perform a variety of basic underwater tasks. The Standard BASE ROV system is a portable and cost-effective solution that can be deployed in minutes and operated by one person if necessary.
The Standard BASE configuration is ready to accept the majority of VideoRay accessories and can be upgraded to accept sonars. The system is not delivered with a tether configuration so the user must select a new tether configuration for this system, or you may use any existing VideoRay tether.
