Looking for the BlueROV’s dimensions with heavy configuration, needing it for transit cases and foam inserts.
Would love to hear from you or see yours to see what they look like.
Thank you
I use a Pelican 1660. It will fit a heavy and your tether if it’s not on a spool. Otherwise you can fit the vehicle and some accessories

That looks awesome thank you for sharing.
G’day Davie and others,
The super tough SPC906255 Spacecase (https://www.spacepac.com.au/product/spacecase-box-900x620x550-mm) is large enough for the BlueROV2 heavy configuration complete with payload skid and tether reel. The case is an up-side down style and the lid ‘just’ fits over the ROV when it it held in the right location (I used some spare pick-n-pluck foam for this). There is also plenty of height inside the case for packing or other light weight items above the ROV itself.
This case is manufactured down here in Australia however I am sure there are similar cases manufactured in other countries. It is big and strong however you probably won’t want to be flying with it.
For interest sake and to help with a sense of scale, that’s a Pelican Protector 1690 case sitting behind it on the floor.

G’day everyone.
I have since converted this transport case into a wet case by removing the foam and adding hard points for hold-down straps. This removes the need to dry the drone completely before transport and it makes it easier to dry the drone and the case for storage.
The top lid is also handy for use as a soaking tub.

@Davie260563 I’ve just seen that this never got responded to. The dimensions are available in the Technical Details on the BlueROV2 Heavy product page, which also links to a 3D model 
The major dimensions are also covered in the Vehicles section of the WIP technical reference, which also links to the product page and 3D model.
Interesting approach @pforperry
Every compromise has different trade-offs, so while the ‘wet case’ has less effective shock absorption it does have some extra convenience in terms of reduced immediate/short-term drying requirements, and the case itself is likely easier to maintain. It’s probably still worth drying down exposed metal (particularly screws and bolts) to reduce corrosion, but that’s at least a bit simpler than drying everything for every transport to protect/maintain the foam
