Increase your spatial awareness or inspect more angles with the Blueye External Camera. Add a pair of Blueye External Lights and you'll get 10.000 lumens on your X3. Both camera and lights are software integrated within the Blueye App.

Sonars

See beyond what the camera can capture on its own. A sonar will allow you to see much further, greatly helping you navigate and find your way underwater.

Positioning systems

A second tool to help you with underwater navigation and tracking is positioning systems. Traditional GPS does not work underwater, as the signals cannot penetrate the surface. To get the position of the drone underwater, you need to add an acoustic positioning system.
