    description:   The SeaBotix LBV200L2 ROV is equipped with a 250m umbilical and a depth rating to 200m. The LBV200L2 is equipped with four powerful, oil-compensated, Brushless DC Thrusters. There is 1 lateral, 2 forward and 1 vertical thruster, enabling maneuverability in four axes, just like a helicopter. The additional lateral thruster adds the capability to fly sideways, allowing the operator to keep either camera on target while piloting along a vertical surface. On-the-fly, 10 step variable power control to each axis allows for smooth video and sensor recording. The extremely small-diameter of the fiber optic umbilical presents less drag meaning the vehicle is controlled by the operator, not the umbilical. The Fiber Optic video system provides crystal-clear images from the standard high-res cameras. Both cameras have a total 270 degree field of view through 180 degree rotation of the camera enclosure. The internal, fully-adjustable LED lighting array provides brilliant, white light and tracks the color camera. The programmable Video Overlay displays heading, depth, temperature, cable turns, and time/date.
