    Taking a look at the Internals of the V6!

    That was just my Speculation. The good news is we have an export port for an extra cable (while keeping things sealed). The bad news is we do not know if this function can be added to the V6, either via an official add on or by doing a mod. We will not be able to find out until we need the new...

    Taking a look at the Internals of the V6!

    Yes this is the video I was referring to! I really hope he can give us some tips on how to get this done. He hijacked the lighting control toggle to activate the gripper. I believe the toggle button outputs two voltages to the LED for the two levels or brightness. So we can use that for two...

    7600 Lumens Light Mod to Fifish V6

    Nice diving torch! I have not bought the Attachment plate for my new V6 yet so I opted for a GoPro mount. The magnetic tripod up front was used to retrieve a lost torch near the shore.

    New Stock Photo of Fifish V6s with Robotic Arm

    That's a huge arm! I would assume 60% increase in the battery refers to the battery operation duration rather than the actual capacity increase, otherwise it will become significantly heavier as batteries are the most heavy components. I should be happy with my 1 week old V6 as four hours is...

    Taking a look at the Internals of the V6!

    So I took the screws holding the chassis apart to satisfy my curiosity. The whole ROV is actually a huge block of heavy duty aluminium so it should be pretty study. The cables are thick and well routed, indicating high build quality. What I am intending to do is to add an "accessory port" to the...

    Just got my first ROV!

    Thanks for the replies! I ended up fixing the tether reel by pulling it all out and rewinded it with the help of my friend pulling on another end to prevent flexes which would jam it. I took it out for a sea trial and went down to 5 meters. The water was too murky so I had to get really close up...

    Just got my first ROV!

    Hello Everyone! Did some research. Pulled the trigger. Got my QYSEA FIFISH V6 today. Updated the firmware and tested it in the pool. Everything work except for the tether spool reel which did not come properly winded and it is jammed after 5 meters. I am going to use a screwdriver to...
