Couple of things about this video:
Camera I used was Sony HDR-SR11 with Amphibico HD Elite housing.
The Wheelbarrow was saved from the bottom of the lake and I have used it many times after that.
The rubber duck and the balloon are also home with me.
None of the divers got any permanent damage either.
And yes, we had a lot of fun making this video.
Ziphius is the first aquatic drone designed to be a splash of fun. Its movements are controlled through your smartphone or tablet, and its camera allows you to explore oceans, lakes and even your swimming pool. The video stream collected by Ziphius’ camera can be used for cruise and control but also for playing augmented reality games. Designed to be fast and stable, Ziphius is a fantastic new way to navigate the waters. Have you ever daydreamed about the underwater world? We have, and that´s why we created Ziphius!
