The article discusses the developed technical and methodological tools designed to study the process of sediment transport. A brief description of the device is given, which makes it possible to obtain the data on the movement speed of suspended particles using video recording. The technique of carrying out field experiments is described, on the example of studying the sea estuaries of rivers. The field measurements results are presented. The developed method makes it possible to determine the movement speed of suspended particles, as well as to describe the fine structure of the flow, which is necessary to study the mechanisms of erosion, accumulation and sediments transport.
