Hand Reel

Control and Precision for Light Oceanographic Deployments

The essential tool for the fluid deployment of plankton nets, oceanographic bottles, and Secchi disks, designed to streamline the study of aquatic ecosystems.

The hand reel has been developed to provide efficient and secure line management during the deployment of lightweight equipment in natural environments. Its ergonomic design and durable materials allow for the controlled positioning of manual plankton nets, water sampling bottles, and Secchi disks, ensuring that the researcher maintains constant mastery over the depth and stability of the gear. Manufactured with high-quality components that withstand continuous exposure to water, this reel is the perfect ally for sampling expeditions where agility and reliability are vital to capturing the essence of the aquatic medium.
