UG: Uni-Lander
This new product has been developed to provide our clients with a high specification drop camera system for use utilising existing geophysical tow cables. Quality of build and ease of use have been primary considerations during the design stage and clients were consulted on how best to improve on the current systems on the market. The resulting Uni-Lander provides a suitable platform to allow the use of the latest and best imaging cameras and sensors.

Applications
The system has been designed to operate on various armoured coaxial cables typically used on offshore survey vessels.
