we live on a planet that's 71 percent water yet we've only explored 10% of it we're about to change that the fathom one is an easy-to-use underwater drone that you control with your smartphone or tablet we designed it to be the most affordable most versatile underwater drone ever made and after two full years of prototyping and development were finally ready to bring underwater exploration and education to the masses I'm John I'm Matt and I'm Danny we're a team of outdoor enthusiasts scuba divers engineers and travelers that had an idea for an underwater drone that we could take anywhere and use in any environment I grew up spending summers on Lake Louise in northern Michigan where a lot of large logging operations took place in the 1800s jump forward 200 years and now every cottage has artifacts and pieces of history on their walls that washed up on the beach but there are still legends of horse-drawn sleds that fell through the ice and got stuck at the bottom just waiting to be explored I thought if I could control an aerial drone from a mobile app to explore from above why couldn't I do the same thing from underwater that's when fathom was born underwater remotely operated vehicles or ROV s have been around for a while but they're mainly large expensive industrial devices tethered to big ships and early consumer RVs inspired by their Big Brother's cost well over a thousand dollars with no mobile app for piloting and you need to be a pretty good hacker to put them together we knew we wanted an underwater drone that anyone could drop into any body of water and pilot easily using an app on their smart device and it had to be small and light enough to carry around meaning a completely new compact design it had to come fully assembled out of the box including an onboard 1080p HD camera and built in high intensity LED headlights for clear viewing and it had to be as affordable as lower-cost flying drones with comparable equipment so that every modern-day explorer could have one we built the fathom one with all of those features and thanks to custom components in a streamlined design now you can have it for under six hundred dollars that's less than half the price of the closest competition above all we made the fathom one super easy to use but that doesn't mean it's limited this thing is fully modular our patent-pending thruster attachment system allows you to easily remove all three thrusters for packing but it also enables customization and upgrades to specialized thrusters such as these ones with larger fins for stabilization and we're hoping our backyard community will create and share their own ideas for customization fathom 1 also features an integrated rail system that makes adding accessories like action cameras and additional lights or other sensors a breeze just slide it on click it in and you're ready to go we put everything that we have into making underwater exploration and education more accessible to the masses we built the prototypes validated at our designs and now ready to go on a full-scale manufacturing all that's left is for you the Kickstarter community to show us that you want an underwater drone that's affordable portable modular and completely easy to use right out of the box fathom is your chance to go deep and see the world in an entirely new way the possibilities are truly endless

the functionality of the camera itself we knew that we needed to have the best designers preferably in the world to design something iconic there's cameras out there really well known as like like Dropcam toss that feels like a security camera if we wanted to separate the notion of security as kind of the primary function and really start talking about people living with this camera and having
