I’ve got a long list of ideas and a sub is on there - probably mini FPV subs that you can use in a small space - maybe with torps? My next big project will be “The World’s (Actual) Fastest Roomba”. I hope the title holds up to the outcome!
Hi Alister, its Tegan's friend Naomi's son, I didn't know how massive you are on RUclips. also nice job on getting into one of Mr Beasts vids. Me and my brother would think it would be awesome if you were to try make a titanic.
This rig is made perfect for the omeo shipwreck! About 20 min drive south of Fremantle, and just a few meters from shore, the wreck sits below the surface lying on bleach-white sand, in crystal clear water. Awesome design and great video mate.
protip for future lightbar builds either fill the bar with a clear acrylic or use a quick fill cartridge from a bike to purge the air from the tube to remove any moisture preventing internal condensation entirely, do this with any viewing volume you can to prevent fogging from ever happening
Also remember that some resins are sensitive to UV and decompose, turning yellow. Also resin shrinks a bit when curing, so don't seal the ends until after the resin has cured.
It might be neat to find some fishing lures for specific fish in an area remove the hooks and see if you can catch a fish taking the bait. If fish are spooked by the boat paint the bottom of it light blue and fit a bigger prop that you spin slower to make less noise. I think this is an awesome project looking forward to whats next.
I built myself a 6 foot catamaran mapping boat awhile back. it has only been tested and never used yet. I’ve been developing it for a while and I just stumbled on your channel! totally diggin what you’re doing, it’s totally cool watching what youre creating so far. I look forward to future developments on your channel as well…
This is awsome!! If you now add a 2. Headtracked Camera on the Top and a Camera switch for RC Controll you have the ultimate Boat to navigate trough difficult water depths, swamp...
You should design the dome and FPV camera system so that it can be raised when the boat is in motion and then lowered into the water when you want to view the bottom. Could even design it so the whole dome goes several feet into the water.
You can easily make a dome from acrylic. Make a small table and cover it with felt. Make a hole in the middle and attach a compressor hose on the bottom. Make a plywood ring. Put a piece of acrylic in the oven until it is flexible. Lay it on the table and clamp the ring down over it. Add compressed air and the dome will form perfectly symmetrical.
Really interesting video, thanks. I’m at Albury, you can’t be far away… To improve your projects, STOP using silastic sealant. Your dome base for example. Include a small channel in the dome base, smaller diameter than the screws. Put a rubber O-Ring in the channel and tighten down dome. Hope you get the idea. You can repeat this in a lot of places you use silastic. More effective, easily discountable, no mess & professional looking build. Cheers, Michael
Can we just take a moment to acknowledge how clean that printed? For get the water drone, a round of applause is necessary for that print (water tight 3d prints are not easy)
The head tracker pan and tilt is exactly what I need. I want to put that into a Sonicmodell HD Wing, which is an FPV flying wing with a clear dome window instead of a nose for mounting FPV gear. You do get two foam noses as well to easily swap out with magnets if you want. Anyways, I needed a way to control the camera within the dome with my head to look around.
Yes, looking at night underwater is better than day, use multiple lights to get rid of those shadows. A cable connected RPV could go down or you could put a camera on a motorized extendable shaft or straight shaft that is hinged at the back and poking forward, you would lower the shaft down and get that camera down closer to your target.
might be useful to draw a line on the dome so you can always know which direction is foreword according to the boat. Maybe try putting a powerfull blacklight or IR spectrum and go at night.
wow that was cool. Where i live in Marseille, France there is an underwater scultupre garden. 5m deep. it would be cool to explore with this boat. I wonder if you could drop a full sphere with camera down so you'd get a full 360 view. Anyways, very cool
Oh, wow! Your sculpture garden sounds amazing. That sounds like a great idea for head tracking a 360 cam - I’m not sure that we can do that wirelessly yet though.
@@electrosynci was thinking you could bring the sphere up and down the boat with a cable. no remote connection needed:) it could be weighted to counterbalance the buoyancy.
This boat offers so many possibilities. Not sure if the underwater dome allows looking up enough to aid with navigation. Maybe having two cameras (above/below water) with a video switch would allow you to easily navigate to location, or avoid reeds or surface obstacles, while still being able to explore underwater views. Is almost like being in a submarine.
You can see forwards enough to make out your path, but it's a very small window because of the boat design and water line. There is also a forward facing camera on one side of the hull which was meant to be wired up to switch between cameras using a receiver controlled switch. I never finished the wiring for that after some setbacks, but I have all the parts there.
I ended up here because I was looking for FPV Submersibles and this is the closest to it. Would be great if a fully submergible affordable FPV drone existed. The application potential is huge.
DIY Perks' build was impressive! I've been threatening to build a sub for a while now. Not sure if it will be big enough for the camera dome, but it will definitely have FPV cameras. Oh, and it'll be armed with CO2 torpedoes!

@@electrosync that would be epic, imagine add a hook and try to fish with the torpedos xD
You could make a (maybe larger) version with a Spear Gun or something and have a sort of Terminator for invasive species like Lionfish and whatnot! But goofy but would be neat and useful as well.
It might be like scuba diving. Where if you go around reefs, you might not see anything right away. But if you hang out real still for a few minutes, all kinds of critters start coming outta the cracks and holes.
This might be a bit too insane, but an FPV mounted spherical dome on a cable, deployable from the boat so that you can look around in much deeper water.
Cool invention! If you place the dome with the camera on a submersible capsule, which will be attached to the catamaran with wires for signal transmission and electricity supply, then this will add some opportunities for exploring the depths in murky water.
8:18 Did you completely miss the watch? top left corner... could have been expensive.. Maybe you need to mount a hook you can lower to retrieve items... ;-) Super nice video! loved it!
Could a sandwich of a flat glass and a fresnel-lens be used in place of the dome? I think it might give too much diffraction and fringes with the camera's pixels...
I think you should make it go deeper, by using a second bubble, and a crane! That would also pull it all the way out of the water (no drag while moving to a location), then just lower the bubble to a depth, and have a look around. Would need a long cable (maybe ethernet in a tube?), and a weight on the bottom of the bubble (to make it sink), but totally do-able.
Maybe raise the camera for travel and lower for looking ? That would obviously need major reconstruction and more motors . That was really enjoyable to watch thanks for posting!
I was originally planning on having a linear actuator raise and lower the dome, but I ran out of space. It would definitely be an improvement. Thanks for watching!

Just to be sure, you can't use the Caddx Peanut as an fpv system. It is essentially the exact same as the insta360 go 2 just with some features that make it more convenient for people who want to use it as an action cam for fpv, but you still need a seperate fpv feed

This is the first of your videos I’ve seen - thanks algorithm! It’s fantastic, from the build itself to the photography and editing. Great work. Have you tried the Bat Safe for LiPo charging/storage? I use it exclusively after watching a few scary RUclips videos involving LiPo bags.
This needs a tethered drone to do dives. A micro sub connected to the power supply of the mothership, with its own smaller redundant power cell, should do it. Going this way also removes the need to drag a fish bowl through the water. The whole thing could be hoisted into and out of the water by the boat using an umbilical. I would tape the control wires, the power wires, and the the video feed wires together with a strength member like a piece of paracord or nylon string, so that the string will be the first thing to get taught; it’s the spine of the umbilical and needs to take the tension off of the wires. The whole thing spools up on a motor-driven drum on the vessel.

Make a system attached to a winch that has a weight so you can drop it down deep to explore the bottom of deeper water
That's a very cool idea. More range and less complexity than an ROV or RC sub but still lets you look around in shallow water.

Wish I could suggest something but ur beyond my pay grade, 3D printing, electronics and all. Informative and good narrating.
It took all that effort and went to the clear lake. I definitely would’ve bit the bullet, and headed back up there again terrific and clean build
Damn that thing is well designed.
Also congrats on 2k!
Thanks, man!

Awesome work. Future upgrade maybe should include embedding the lights and the camera into the catamaran hull design itself, for less water drag?
Might be a but Pricey, but adding one of those small sonars that are often advertised for Kayak Fishing as Mini-Fish-finders would be really neat!

This has been something on my list of things to do for years so seeing it done gives me so much confidence.
I think you should release a series where you just go around to different lakes and film what you can find
What a great project…. That dome is simply superb !
That's the coolest FPV project I've seen in a long time
