Seaviewer Underwater Video Camera

click to enlarge

The Seaviewer Underwater Video Camera is a useful tool for observing bedload movement and sediment transport field studies. The Seaviewer is a rugged field use camera and is well suited to viewing bedload sediments in low light conditions and individual grains moving along the bed. Particles as small as 15 mm or larger are easily seen and measurable on the screen. Calibrating scales are used with the Seaviewer Camera to estimate particle size and transport. Another important use of the Seaviewer is deployment with a sediment sampler to analyze and monitor interaction between the sampler and bed materials. The Seaviewer is available in black and white (B&W) or color but the black and white model is better under low light conditions. The Seaviewer Camera consists of a single charged coupling device mounted in a compact plastic housing. The camera attaches to a long pole and is suspended from the stream bank or a bridge. To record video footage, the camera is connected to a camcorder with video-in capability.
