The exploreHD Heavy is the ultimate upgrade from its predecessor, packed with groundbreaking features that make it a true revolution in underwater vision. Boasting a brand new back side illuminated sensor that uses Sony's STARVIS technology, this camera offers unmatched low light performance and dynamic range. The 316 stainless steel casing provides incredible resistance to galvanic corrosion, while the sapphire crystal front element adds durability and scratch resistance. This and in combination with our patent pending technology, offers an extreme depth rating of 1000 meters.

The exploreHD Heavy is designed to take on advanced computer vision applications, bridging the gap between autonomy and underwater robots. And when paired with our DWE OS software, the possibilities are endless! This cutting-edge software builds on our already popular exploreHD Controls, offering a range of new features on top of bitrate control such as brightness, contrast, exposure, backlight compensation, TrueColor, and more!

But that's not all - the exploreHD Heavy and DWE OS software work seamlessly together, allowing for advanced multi-stream capabilities of up to 7 cameras at the same time with low latency and bandwidth. Say goodbye to limitations and hello to endless possibilities!
