Blueye X1 ROV — single-operator entry professional platform
Sub-9 kg, single-handle carry — one person, one ROV, no support crew
Entry Professional · 305 m · Made in Norway

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.

  • FHD 1080p · 1/2.8" Exmor R CMOS · ±30° tilt · 115° FOV
  • 3,300 lm · 5000K · 90 CRI for true-colour documentation
  • One Smart Connector guest port — sonar, positioning or sensors
  • Up to ~5 h runtime with the High Capacity battery
  • Full Blueye App + Blunux Web App · free lifetime updates
Design Philosophy

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.

🔌

1 Smart Connector Port

The guest port accepts sonar, positioning or sensor payloads via plug-and-play Smart Connector — auto-detected, no configuration required.

Primary Discipline

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.

Net Inspection · Fish Health · Retrieval

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 It Works

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.
