Overview

Chasing's step up to a light-industrial ROV: eight vectored thrusters allow omnidirectional movement and hovering at any attitude, plus accessory mounts for grabbers and lights. The M2 appeared on Chasing's site in 2020. The M2 S is the current version with the same 380 × 267 × 165 mm, 4.5 kg body. A popular choice for hull inspection, aquaculture checks and search work at a fraction of commercial ROV prices.
