Finally got to test the ROV2 after many weeks of hard work. The tether reel works great and I could easily handle 200 meters on the spool. Since the ROV2 is connected to the reel I don’t need a quick connect as the entire case has wheels and is easy to transport. I use a waterproof rj45 patch between the reel and the control cabinet and I can pay out as much tether as I need.

Great job BlueRobotics!

Looking good, Heinz! I particularly like the case and sun shield. Well done.

Thanks Rusty and TCIII. But without Rusty and Paul from Marine Simulation it would have much more difficult. Thanks for your help and input. I was real glad to have my long time friend Paul assist me on my first dive. But everything went well and just have to tweak a few things.
