About the Blueye X3 drone
The Blueye X3 launched on June 1st, 2021, and is the third Blueye ROV model.
Overview
Guest Ports: Three guest ports for integrating external peripherals such as sonars, manipulators, sensors, cameras, or lights. The three guest ports offer three multiple power levels and eight different communication protocols. See technical specifications for the Guest Ports
Storage: The X3 comes with 256 GB of storage, four times the capacity of our previous models.
Image quality: We have improved the camera with a larger image sensor for better image quality in murky waters and low-light conditions.
Reinforced frame: To the aluminum backbone, we have added a new strong point for robustly mounting external payloads.
2nd generation Surface Unit: We have greatly improved the robustness of the Surface Unit by switching to a waterproof USB-C connector, protected by an improved water cover. We have moved the antennas inside the enclosure to remove the risk of damaging or breaking them. The communication module on both the X3 and Surface Unit sides has been updated, ensuring a more robust connection over longer tethers. The 2nd generation Surface Unit is compatible with existing Blueye Pioneer and Pro drones.
Controller: The X3 can be operated with different controllers. Choose either the Xbox controller or the Blueye Rugged Controller.
