    Hello,

    what camera is most suitible for FPV ROV underwater ?!

    does an ordinary camera do well (after adding water protection ofcourse) ?

    Many cheap underwater cameras use off the shelf video cameras. The trick is to make a waterproof housing with a water corrected lens in it that is cheap enough, not so easy.

    Have a look at something like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WuJV3_SwLU

    thanks for reply & the video

    would one of these cameras be good enough, if i get suitible lens and make my housing ?

    and would the view be really bad without the corrected lens ?!

    Good enough for what? A pipeline survey? probably not. An ROV competition? Probably.
