Here are the two ROVs compared on payload, weight and thrusters. The one gap is the Blueye X7's payload capacity, which isn't listed.

What this means:
- Weight: The Pro 5 is the lighter of the two, at 11.8 kg compared with 20 kg for the X7. - Thrusters: The Pro 5 has three thrusters. The X7 has seven. avinc.com +1avinc.com ↗“three-thruster inspection ROV”blueyerobotics.com ↗“seven-thruster inspection-class ROV” avinc.com +1avinc.com ↗“mechanical.weight_g=11800 g”blueyerobotics.com ↗“mechanical.weight_g=20000 g”
- Payload: The Pro 5 is rated for 1.4 kg. I couldn't find a payload figure for the Blueye X7, so I can't compare the two on this point. Blueye's X7 product page or a Blueye Robotics representative should be able to confirm it. avinc.comavinc.com ↗“robot.payload_kg=1.4 kg”
