An ROV comprising a topside, a fish and an umbilical cable for connecting
the topside and the fish together. The fish is adapted to be powered by an
onboard battery inductively coupled to the fish. The cable is of a fine
diameter to reduce drag through the water. RF transmissions carry control
and return signals to and from the fish and topside. The fish has two
cameras. The front facing camera is located behind a dual layer flooded
dome. A pan and tilt mechanism is fitted to one of the cameras and uses a
pivotable gimbal frame driven by a lead nut moving along an arcuate bolt.
