CORE FEATURES

Close-up of the DeepWater Exploration exploreHD Heavy subsea camera, showcasing its 1000m depth-rated, dark gray hard-anodized naval-grade aluminum housing and domed scratch-resistant sapphire lens port. Ideal for reliable HD video on ROVs and AUVs in demanding underwater environments.

Aerospace Grade Aluminum Alloy

The exploreHD Heavy's housing is is precision-machined from a high-strength aluminum alloy, providing superior corrosion resistance and structural durability. Ideal for long-term subsea operations, it ensures reliable performance at depths up to 1000m.

The DeepWater Exploration exploreHD Heavy/Pro subsea camera Printed Circuit Board (PCB), showcasing the central 1/2.8” Sony Exmor™ STARVIS CMOS image sensor enabling 1080p HD video and H.264/MJPEG compression. This critical component drives the high-resolution imaging for ROV and AUV operations.

BSI Sensor for Low-Light Performance

The exploreHD Heavy is equipped with an advanced backside-illuminated (BSI) sensor, designed to maximize light sensitivity for superior low-light imaging and enhanced dynamic range. This next-generation upgrade, combined with a redesigned camera PCB, ensures clearer details, reduced noise, and improved visibility in deep-sea environments.
