First summary draft on Deep Tracker ROV DTG3

One of the underwater Remotely Operated Vehicles, also known as ROV in short, promoted on Deep Tracker’s website is the DTG3. With a size that could be fitted in luggage, the DTG3 could be easily underestimated in its capability among its other underwater ROVs provided by Deep Tracker. Its weight of 18lbs and a short deportable time of 30 minutes, support the stand on leading the portable category among all of Deep Tracker’s underwater ROVs. It comes with a full high-definition (HD) camera, which is a choice of upgrade to a camera with a resolution of 4 times of a full HD camera, also known as 4 kilo(K) or thousand. With a limit of 270 degrees, is the most flexible camera among the other compared underwater ROVs, which gains the ability to observe most of the tightest angles while pairing its portability. Even though its death rating is the shortest with 200 metres or 656 feet in comparison to others, it has the longest battery life of 8 hours with a recharge time of 1 hour and a half, making it efficient for deployment. Its body flexibility is however limited to three thrusters with a “patented” pitch, it could be compensated by its flexible camera and optional add-ons like the grabber specific for DTG3, which is a grab arm with the biggest grabber rotation among the other underwater ROVs at 180 degrees. Other add-ons options are laser scaler, which could be used for size estimation for visual inspections, Ultra Short Baseline Locating (USBL) positioning, which is a location system for the ROV, thickness gauge, environmental sensors for like temperature or potential hydrogen (pH), and extended tether to extend from the current 75 metres to 700 metres. With all these features at a price range as low as $8500 United States dollars (USD), it shows clearly that it is the most cost-efficient underwater ROVs in comparison to the other available ones that Deep Tracker has to offer.
