Chasing M2 S ROV

Description

The Chasing M2 S ROV is a next-generation, compact industrial-grade underwater robot designed for professional inspections, research, environmental surveys, and content creation. With 8 vectored thrusters, a patented Anti-Stuck C-Motor 3.0, and a sealed structural design, it ensures ultra-stable movement and reliability in turbulent underwater conditions.

Built for ease of use, the M2 S deploys in under three minutes and can be operated by a single person—delivering powerful functionality while minimizing manpower. Thanks to its open-body design and intelligent NeptuneX flight control algorithm, this ROV offers precise station-holding and maneuverability even in dynamic currents, making it the perfect tool for demanding underwater tasks at depths of up to 100 meters.

Camera & Imaging:

Capture breathtaking footage with a 4K UHD EIS camera paired with a 1/2.3” Sony CMOS sensor. The lens offers a 150° wide field of view and F2.8 aperture, making it ideal for both cinematic visuals and precise inspections. With image stabilization (EIS), 12MP photos, and slow motion recording up to 240fps, you get clarity even in fast-moving or low-light environments.

Dual 2000-lumen LED lights with three-level dimming provide excellent illumination, and the optional Floodlight 2.0 expands brightness further for advanced visibility during deep dives.

Control & Data:

Using the tethered RC3 controller with HDMI output and support for smartphones or tablets (up to 10"), operators have real-time video streaming and environmental data at their fingertips. Control remains stable regardless of conditions, and the app interface enables live monitoring and customization of camera settings and vehicle behaviour.

Power & Runtime:

The M2 S runs on a replaceable 97.68Wh battery, offering around 4 hours of operation, with the 200Wh battery in the Advanced Package extending runtime for longer missions. Charging is fast and efficient, with 2.5-hour recharge time for the main ROV and 2 hours for the controller.

Manipulator Arm (Advanced Package):

The Grabber Claw A allows for object retrieval and sampling. With a 12cm opening width and 7kg gripping force, it mounts at a 10° elevation angle, ensuring a clear camera view while retaining full functional mobility—ideal for rescue, recovery, or inspection tasks.

Expandable Capabilities:

With modular add-ons including distance-lock sonar, laser scaler, GoPro mount, and additional lighting arrays, the M2 S adapts easily to a variety of missions and custom requirements.
