The Pro 3 XEGTO sports all the features of the top of the line Pro 3XE adding our GTO thrusters which propel the VideoRay to speeds up to 4.1 knots. It flies through the water!
The Pro 3 XEGTO is also PC computer control enabled, allowing operators to control the ROV using included wired or wireless game controllers with a user-supplied laptop computer. The Pro 3 XEGTO can even be controlled by software applications or remotely via a network.
The Pro 3 XEGTO can easily accommodate recording devices, modular instrumentation and tools such as: scanning imaging sonar for low visibility environments; manipulator for object retrieval or intervention; positioning system for exhaustive area searches; water quality sensor, metal thickness gauge, and more. Pro 3 XEGTO units can accommodate additional neutrally buoyant, negatively buoyant, or positively buoyant tether extensions to reach up to 305 m (1,000 ft) in overall distance but limited to 152 m (500 ft) in water depth. Included is an inverter for operation using a 12 volt power source such as a car battery.
