Professional capability, stripped to the essentials
The X1 is the easiest way into the professional Blueye platform. It shares the self-stabilising vertical body, four-thruster layout and Blunux software of the full range - then focuses on the work that recurs daily: net inspections, harbour hull scans, pre-departure checks and field surveys. Light enough for one person, fast enough to deploy from any boat deck or dock, and priced to put a professional ROV within reach.

One Person. One ROV. Under 90 Seconds.
Blueye's self-stabilising vertical body separates the centre of buoyancy from the centre of gravity - so the ROV stays upright without pitch or roll thruster axes. The result is a vehicle one operator can carry, deploy and fly alone.
Deploy in Under 90 Seconds
No calibration, no complex setup. Unpack, lower, connect - and you're diving. Built for fast single-operator deployment from small workboats.
FHD 1080p · ±30° Tilt
1/2.8" Exmor R CMOS, 115° field of view and motorised tilt to look up at hull undersides or down at seabed targets without repositioning.
3,300 lm · 90 CRI
High colour-rendering lighting represents surfaces and coatings accurately - essential for biofouling assessment, corrosion grading and photo records.

Purpose-Made for Aquaculture
Net inspection, fish-health observation and object retrieval are daily work on a fish farm - and the X1's weight, deploy time and price make it the natural fit for recurring pen surveys.
A daily-use tool, not an event
Because one person can deploy the X1 in under 90 seconds from the cage walkway, net checks stop being a scheduled operation and become routine. High-CRI lighting shows true net and fish colour for health assessment, the tiltable FHD camera follows seams and dead-fish corners, and the Smart Connector port adds sonar or a gripper for object retrieval when needed.
- Routine net-integrity and seam inspection from the walkway
- True-colour fish-health and biofouling observation
- Dropped-object and mortality retrieval with a gripper payload
- Repeatable dives logged for site records and compliance
Where the X1 Excels
The X1's low weight, fast deploy time and single-operator design make it ideal for recurring inspection work and field surveys where simplicity matters most.
