Underwater content creation, commercial inspection, and recreational observation are easy and fun with the CHASING M2 Underwater ROV 656' Tetherfrom CHASING. Connected by a 656' tether and using eight vectored thrusters to move in any direction and maintain accurate hover, the M2 captures 4K UHD video and 12MP photos, saving them to storage or streaming them live in real time. The drone is compatible with optional gear such as a robot claw, a GoPro camera, external lights, etc. Anti-stuck motor technology helps assure the M2 doesn't bog down in sand. Maximum working depth is 328' and top speed is 3 knots. Two 2000-lumen LEDs with three brightness levels provide ample light as you navigate the depths.

The drone's f/1.8 camera with 1/2.3 CMOS sensor is equipped with electronic image stabilization for tack-sharp images and movies, even in lower light. Field of view is a very wide 152°. You can shoot stills while capturing video, and time-lapse and slow-motion modes expand your creative capabilities. A 64GB SD card is provided but you can use cards up to 512GB to record your images, or download them to your computer via an HDMI port.

Power for the drone is supplied by a 97.7Wh battery that recharges in 2.5 hours, while the remote control module employs a 2500mAh battery that recharges in two hours.

A: The CHASING Chasing M2 Underwater ROV (656' Tether) has two 2000-Lumen Lights. So it could be used in a no light environment..

Q: 5. is the camera any good? what does it save the image capture on? how long can it shoot continuous 4K? an hour? 45 minutes?

A: The sensor is a 1/2.3 CMOS sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, so it should do relatively well in terms of picture quality especially when using the mounted lights on the rig. Images would be saved to an on board SD card that must be inserted into the unit. And the only recording limit seems to be how large your SD card is. So if you plan to record a longer dive, I would purchase the largest card possible, a 512GB which with 4k recording would give you roughly 16 hours of recording depending on the bit rate.
