Hydro 300

Versatile stereo photogrammetry camera for subsea inspections

The Hydro 300 is a robust photogrammetry unit designed for shallow water and with a maximum depth rating of 300 msw, this unit gives you access to a larger range of subsea assets.

300 m depth rating

Versatile, integrates across ROVs

Millimetric accuracy

Reduces operational costs, saves time

Enables confident, data-driven decisions

Intuitive deployment, simple to use

Its cameras capture high-resolution still images enabling the generation of 3D models with millimetric precision. Equipped with integrated 80 000-lumens flashes, the Hydro 300 performs perfectly in low-visibility conditions. Engineered for versatility, this unit is compatible with Observation and Work Class ROVs, making it a powerful ally for your subsea inspections.
