Description
The CHASING Hand Reel is a specialized tether management accessory designed to make cable deployment, retrieval, and organization easier during underwater exploration and inspection. Featuring an automatic wire-guiding mechanism, a precision drive system, and a reciprocating lead screw, the reel helps distribute tether cable evenly during winding to reduce tangling and uneven cable buildup.
Built with 14 specialized stainless steel bearings and a high-precision aluminum alloy synchronous belt drive system, the CHASING Hand Reel is engineered for smooth, controlled cable handling. Its stainless steel reciprocating lead screw supports consistent cable arrangement during retrieval, helping improve convenience and organization when deploying or recovering an underwater drone.
With a maximum tether storage capacity of 200 meters (656.17 feet), the reel supports a variety of underwater operating requirements. Its IP65-rated enclosure provides protection against dust ingress and water jets, making it suitable for splash-prone environments such as shorelines and boat decks. The replaceable cable design also allows users to select compatible tether lengths of 50 meters, 100 meters, or 200 meters according to their needs.
Designed for compatibility with selected CHASING underwater drone systems, including the GLADIUS MINI, GLADIUS MINI S, CHASING M2, and CHASING M2 PRO, this hand reel is a practical addition for users who need reliable tether organization during underwater exploration, observation, and inspection missions.
Technical Details
Automatic Tether Winding and Wire-Guiding Design:
The CHASING Hand Reel features an automatic wire-guiding mechanism designed to help arrange tether cable evenly during winding. Its reciprocating lead screw moves the cable guide along the reel, helping reduce overlapping and uneven cable buildup during retrieval.
Precision Aluminum Alloy Drive System:
The reel incorporates a high-precision aluminum alloy synchronous belt drive system to support smooth and consistent operation. This drive configuration works with the cable-guiding mechanism to improve tether handling and help simplify repeated deployment and recovery.
14 Stainless Steel Bearings:
Equipped with 14 specialized stainless steel bearings, the reel is designed to support smooth movement and reliable mechanical operation. The bearing system contributes to the performance of the winding mechanism during routine tether handling.
200-Meter Tether Storage Capacity:
The CHASING Hand Reel accommodates up to 200 meters (656.17 feet) of compatible tether cable. This capacity supports underwater operations requiring extended cable deployment while helping keep the tether organized during retrieval and storage.
Replaceable Tether Cable:
The reel supports replaceable compatible tether cables, with options of 50 meters, 100 meters, and 200 meters. This flexibility allows users to select a suitable cable length for different underwater activities and replace the cable when necessary. Cable compatibility should be verified for the specific drone model and reel configuration.
IP65 Dust and Water-Jet Protection:
The reel carries an IP65 protection rating, indicating protection against dust ingress and water jets under specified testing conditions. This makes it suitable for splash-prone environments, including boat decks and shore-based operations. IP65 does not indicate suitability for underwater immersion.
Broad CHASING Drone Compatibility:
The hand reel is designed for use with selected CHASING underwater drone models, including the GLADIUS MINI, GLADIUS MINI S, CHASING M2, and CHASING M2 PRO. Users should confirm the correct tether type and connector configuration before pairing the reel with their equipment.
Portable and Practical Construction:
Measuring 296 × 189 × 279 mm and weighing approximately 2.56 kg, the CHASING Hand Reel offers a compact format for transportation and storage. Its design makes it suitable for underwater drone users who need a dedicated solution for managing tether cable in the field.
