Long story short:
I build ROVs as a hobby. ( Remotely operated vehicles ). My little robots and dropcams go up to 7700ft deep in water.
Ive been working pretty hard for the past 10 years and i am at the point where i have a non-profit set up, tons of media coverage, and a small budget to build a next gen subsea camera.
I need help finding a camera or camera sensor than can fit in a 1.25 inch ( 30.5MM ) housing, [pictured]
SO, What is the best camera or camera sensor you can think of that will fit in this aluminum housing with an internal diameter of 1.25 inches or 30.5MM? It would be helpful if the output is terminated in a BNC/UCB/HDMI connection. the power for the camera will be fed from the boat via conductors and data will be transferred via SM fiber (converter in housing).
I am sick of not being able to buy a camera that can be deployed from personally owned boat with a rated depth of over 1000ft. I am building my own and all plans, drawings and code are being open sourced. at my day job I operate/pilot a work class ROV that requires a 300ft vessel and millions of dollars of equipment to explore up to 9000ft. My end goal is to create something that the average man can put together for under 2kUSD.
At the moment I am stuck at finding the best camera/sensor to use in this housing i have already had machined. I appreciate your expertise and autism 4chan. Thank you,
