PowerVision PowerRay underwater drone


This underwater drone can submerge up to 98 feet (30 meters) and records 4K video streamed to your phone, which you use to navigate. Not impressed? OK, with its add-on Fishfinder sonar it can detect fish up to 131 feet (40 meters) away and and lures them with a blue light. Still not wowed? PowerVision will be offering VR goggles that allow you to robot around by tilting your head.

Preorders start on February 27.

Few things bothered me here.

1. It's tethered.

2. what the hell with the actor and his angler 'acting' skills ... If that dude's using one, I ain't.

The tether is because WIFI transmission dies underwater. Probably a tether to an surface "module" to send signals back and forth. Hell I'd want the tether that thang isn't gonna be cheap.
