What is the good observation ROV ? V8 – Sii or LBV300 ?

[Giang]

Hi Guys,
I’m consider to use small observation ROV like : Ocean modules V8 – Sii, Seabotix LBV300, Eca HYTEC H300 or smaller VideoRay Pro 4, DGT2.. for GVI UWILD, Jacket, Shallow water inspection tasks.
Anybody, who experienced, knowledge above systems please advice.
Thanks to all mems.

If your just looking at doing basic free swimming inspection work offshore I should look at a standard free swimming SeaeyeEye falcon with a small davit its nice and simply to operate with a good track record .

Like you say there other inspection vehicles available like Ocean modules V8 , Seabotix LBV300 and Hytec H300 as far as Micro vehicles go yes there fine for some jobs but a bit limited .In the end its down to past experience and vehicles and how experience the pilot is .

BIG Thanks Raptor.
This is required for basic inspection tasks, take over for divers, low weight portable …
However, Can anyone know what is the approximately cost of Seaeye Falcon or similar ?
Have a good day all.
