The Tether Backpack is sized for a 76m tether and makes transporting your VideoRay ROV system even easier. It keeps the tether organised and safe from harm while not in use, while still leaving both hands free to carry other gear. With room to store 76 m (250 ft) of standard neutral tether, it is a practical tether management solution for ROV pilots who don’t need the capacity of a full Tether Deployment System.
The Tether Backpack also includes a removable soft-sided zippered sack for storing tools (tools not included) or other ROV essentials. It can be worn backpack-style or carried by its top handle. See also the tether assembly double ended connector.
Carries up to 76 metres of ROV standard neutral tether, providing ample capacity for extended missions without compromising portability.
Built from durable, water-resistant materials designed to withstand demanding offshore and coastal environments.
Features strong, stitched-in handles for secure lifting and easy handling during transport and deployment.
Includes padded, adjustable shoulder straps for hands-free carrying—ideal for mobile or remote deployment teams.
Heavy-duty zippers offer fast access to tether coils while maintaining secure storage during transit.
Designed to minimise setup and pack-down time, the backpack helps streamline operations and keeps tether management tidy and professional.
Keeps tether neatly stored and instantly deployable, reducing setup time and ensuring a more efficient launch and recovery process.
With comfortable shoulder straps and a compact form, operators can easily carry the full tether load across uneven terrain or confined access points.
Built to withstand wet, abrasive, and salty environments, the backpack helps extend the service life of your tether by shielding it during transport and storage.
