Hello friends! Today we’ve got some new products to release - an 18-hole 4" Series End Cap and BlueROV2 Machined Buoyancy Foam!
18-hole 4" Series End Cap
Unlike most of our other end caps, which have 10 mm through-holes for each penetrator, this one has a mixture of threaded and through-holes to allow more penetrations to be packed in. The outer eleven holes are threaded with standard M10 threads. The inner seven holes are through-holes just like our other end caps. All of the holes are compatible with all of our M10 penetrators.
This end cap is compatible with the 4″ Series Watertight Enclosure and can be used on the BlueROV2 for more expandability!
BlueROV2 Machined Buoyancy Foam
Because more end cap holes means more room for all the things, and thus more weight, we have the new BlueROV2 Machined Buoyancy Foam today as well! This foam is machined specifically to add an additional 500 grams of total buoyancy on the BlueROV2. The shape fits perfectly into the BlueROV2 fairing and adds more stability and payload capacity! This is an add-on only and the BlueROV2 still comes with the standard rectangular blocks of foam.
That's all for today!
