Midway: the inspection ROV that fits through a 12 in. pipe
Take it anywhere. Built to reach inaccessible areas, Midway fits through a 12 in. opening or flies through a pipe, yet carries the features of a larger ROV: six thrusters, a 4K tilt camera, two 1,500-lumen lights, room for an imaging sonar, and a 400 VDC surface power system.
Complete system package $29,500 USD
ROV, SPU-LITE console, tether, cases, and a basic tools and spares kit (just enough to get running). Prices in USD; shipping, taxes and international fees not included.
In stock: 1 unit arriving soon. Also available on backorder; lead time about 6 weeks.
Why Midway
- Fits where others can't. 10 in. hull fits through a 12 in. opening: pipes, tanks, culverts, intakes.
- Precise in tight spaces. 4 lateral thrusters at 45° plus 2 vertical (Subseatronics A10).
- See clearly. Blue Robotics 4K camera with tilt, standard. Optional fixed 1080p aux camera ($490, installed with connector). No grabber, sonar or rear camera included.
- See in zero visibility. Interchangeable sonar nose (see below).
- No batteries. Surface power: 400 VDC from the SPU-LITE console, so there's no battery to charge or swap.
- Light and portable. 18 lb ROV, 24 lb console; easy to carry, even while traveling.
Interchangeable sonar nose
The top-front hull piece swaps out to carry the sonar the job needs, so one vehicle covers clear-water inspection and zero-visibility imaging.
Nose options: No sonar (rounded nose) · Oculus M series (M750d, M1200d) · Cerulean Sonar 450 FS · Blue Robotics Ping360 · Tritech Gemini iM series. More nose versions in development.
Note: Midway ships sonar-ready. Sonar is an optional add-on and is not included in the $29,500 package.

Every Midway is assembled, sealed and tested by hand. Made in the USA.
