Enjoy safe, remote-controlled surveying with the rQPOD remote boat surveying package! The rQPOD includes mechanized hardware that when installed on a floating platform, transforms it into a motorized vehicle for remote shore operation and collection of ADCP data.
The YSI rQPOD is a lightweight, easy-to-assemble propulsion system that can fit to many board-style platforms. It allows users to collect data over a large spatial area in minutes, and in areas otherwise inaccessible. The 2.4 GHz remote control allows operators to control the system from up to 250 meters with a clear line of sight, with real-time data visualization options that allow users to make mission changes and decisions on the spot.
