Looks like HD US has similar:
Hi Mark,
Thanks for the response, much appreciated.
Neither Home Depot, Walmart or Amazon has a simple plastic bracket like yours.
I looked at the one on your link and it slopes inward towards the back and is not perpendicular to the back.
Found one at Lowes that is similar to yours and are only $4 USD apiece.
I may have to make my own.

Yes unfortunately its luck of the draw as to what shape works for this. You could do something similar with a bench aluminum bracket or similar. The plastic was nice since it won’t corrode and is cheap and light.
Here is the link to the ones I used for reference. Brand is Continental.

Looks like Amazon.com may carry them in US:

@schoonerlabs,
Unfortunately my local Lowes does not carry that hose hanger in-store. However I was able to order on-line and the cost of two plus shipping was under $15 USD which I consider to be a reasonable price.
My original search on Amazon did not show that hose hanger unfortunately. However two of those is about the same price as the two Lowes hose hangers plus shipping if you have free shipping with Prime.
How long is your tether?. Mine is only 75 meters.

Ours is 100M which is a bit too much for the hanger but works. 75M should be perfect on them.
Great. I decided to order the Amazon hose hangers and use the Lowes hangers for some of my power cords that I only use with my emergency power generator.

Hi guys,
I am looking for a hard transport case for the BlueRov2 i was thinking about this one
Dimensions are 21.78" x 16.69" x 10.62" Perfect space for the ROV but no space for tether, batteries and charger.
or this one
dimensions are Interior: 25.65 x 19.5 x 13.1
As you can see second one is much bigger than the first one so im afraid that the ROV will be so loose, anyways I will carry 150 meters of tether too.
so which one do you guys think is the best?
Show your cases!

I grabbed a used pelican 1620 https://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?A=details&O=&Q=&ap=y&c3api=1876%2C{creative}%2C{keyword}&gclid=Cj0KCQjwnazLBRDxARIsAECdauuu1HIQZoiXh63LP_vBd2bjCzVQ7otPwpm3YIlT63Mua1NbdT7mwdIaAiUvEALw_wcB&is=REG&m=Y&sku=179087
Since I have the longer arm sticking out the front of my ROV I needed a bit longer case than you might otherwise need for one.

I’ve been using these from MCM. Good quality and a fraction of the cost of Pelican cases.

Thanks for the info @piercet
its better to have a bigger case just in case.
Thanks @paul-unterweiser
I am pretty sure you got this one? https://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/22-24160
Yes, that’s the one. Fits the BlueROV2 (without tether) perfectly. You can either add a tether disconnect at the ROV or cut a small “slot” in the case for the tether to pass through.
For a lighter weight solution, I recently used a standard RubberMaid ActionPacker with the BlueROV2 inside, wrapped in 3 pieces of cut-up foam camping pad. It went through airline checked baggage just fine. As a bonus, you can sit on the foam if you need a soft seat.

The Nanuk 950 just fits the ROV without the tether. I found a deal where I got the padded dividers essentially for free, and cut everything out except the edges. I also had to cut recesses into the lid foam. The result is a snug fit suitable for air transport.
The downside is that the tether needs to be transported separately.
Hey @skcolb
Thanks man! seems great and cheap!.
Hey @carlchatfield
I just took a look on that Nanuk 950 and seems great! but I think is a little more expensive that the ones i just proposed, for example the Seahorse is 220 USD with much space for the BlueRov and the tether inside.
Hi,
I bought a pelicase 1660. It’s really confortable for the ROV, spare equipment, tools and laptop. It may contains everything you need for on board mission, excluding the umbilical.
first floor: tools, battery charger, secondary battery, skid,
second floor: spare can containing optional foam, box with spare parts.
third floor: ROV, Laptop, Logbook, bench cables, controller and spare parts.
closed plus umbilical.
