ROV Innovations was born from a need to provide quality, high definition footage to all industries throughout Australia. Guided by the philosophy that "an ROV (remote operated vehicle) or UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) is only as good as the camera within it", we have searched and piloted a variety of vehicles, and found that many were lacking in a variety of critical aspects. 

We have sourced UAVs that are professionally designed and extremely robust, to cope with the continued demand and flight time we put them through. We also carry a complete spares kit for each vehicle, and can conduct field repairs to enable us to complete the job on time and within budget.
