Unlike most other ROVs, the Luna is designed specifically for underwater filmmaking. It records video at a maximum resolution of 8K/30fps and can descend as deep as 1,000 m (3,281 ft) – so all you giant squids out there, get ready for your close-up.
First of all, it should be noted that all underwater ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) do have cameras, typically up to 4K/30fps in resolution.
And while these cameras certainly can be used for cinematography, their primary purpose is simply to provide the surface-located operator with a view of what’s under the surface. That view definitely comes in handy as the ROV is utilized to perform tasks such as searching for sunken objects or inspecting underwater structures.
