The underwater drone Blueye Pioneer
An underwater drone with a camera for exploring, viewing and learning about life in our oceans
‘We want to make the beauty of our oceans and the dangers they face, visible for everyone, everywhere.’ The Blueye Team believes that by empowering people to view, explore and learn about the ocean, people will connect and care for it too.
Blueye Pioneer is designed for exploration in rugged maritime environments for professionals as well as consumers. With the intuitive user interface, users can easily discover life below the surface of our oceans. Pioneer has a camera and can dive down to 150 meters, enabling experiencing via a smartphone app. Video and steering is done through a thin cable between the drone and an on-surface transmitter that shares data wirelessly to your smartphone, tablet or VR goggles. The drone weighs less than 9 kg and has replaceable and rechargeable batteries.
Great care has been put into making Pioneer user-friendly and with optimal functionality and performance through thoughtful product design and engineering. Blueye has its origins from Norway.
