Optim SeaCam®

Premium 4K Ultra-High Definition Video
A unique, rugged tool for scientists, subsea explorers, and filmmakers.
ROV/AUV Inspection Tasks
Scientific Research and Exploration
The Optim SeaCam® holds the distinction of being the first 4K camera to dive to the deepest points of the oceans: Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench, more than 10km down. Ideal for real-time viewing in 4K and optimal for discovery, documentation, and storytelling, the Optim SeaCam features an extended zoom range and a 350mm minimum object distance at full telephoto that makes for stunning close-up images and brings out the smallest details. Familiar VISCA controls make the Optim a logical upgrade path from legacy HD systems, while being sized to fit almost any platform from medium inspection class vehicles to large manned submersibles.
