Curious to know if anyone has done any speed through the water measurements for a BlueROV2 at thrust gain settings other than the published 1m/s at 100%? Particularly if anyone has done the measurements at both the 45 degree and 30 degree horizontal thruster settings!

Well, not really a speed test but I have used the BR2 at 50% against a current of 1-1.5 knots at a depth of 30 meters, sometimes the gain had to be settled up to 75% to have more accurate displacements but never to 100%.

Thanks Luis.
