Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Underwater Camera
Here is an example of what you are talking about
http://www.videoray.com/
You would be best to explore model submarines on the web, then design
something similar yourself. As for the model subs, I believe you can buy
some self contained modules that give you propulsion, and maybe buoyancy
control.
How about using a piece of large diam. PVC pipe as a body? I'm sure you
could assemble your own ROV for $500-$1000 using commonly available parts.
Good luck, and keep us posted if you take on this project. It may not be
exactly a PSUB, but I think it jives with the group.
