I love looking at underwater sea footage with all the plants, corals, and swimming creatures that the divers and swimmers show off. But I know I probably will never go down there myself so I have to live vicariously through these videos. Holding a camera or using a body cam are not always that comfortable though so there should be a better solution for underwater videography.

This concept for an underwater camera drone tries to solve those issues. The DSP mini will function as your companion as you dive and swim underwater and you don”t need to hold it or wear it which can sometimes be restricting. It should be able to sort of swim beside you and capture video footage of everything that you see underwater.
The idea is that this underwater drone should be able to autonomously track your movements as you swim underwater and capture video footage from all angles and in high quality format. It doesn’t need any manual operation so even if you’re a beginner in diving and in video capture, it should be easy.
The design of the DSP mini looks like a mini robot that will be your underwater diving companion. Of course this is still a concept but it would be interesting to have a tool like this that will not interfere with your actual diving activity but also can bring high quality footage so people like me who don’t dive can see what’s actually down there.
