Swellpro SplashDrone 4

A new benchmark for waterproof drones

Top Features

• IP67 Seawater proof body & IP66 Waterproof Remote controller
• 5km Image Transmission
• 2kg Payload Capacity
• 30min flight time
• Dynamic return to pilot

SplashDrone 4 is the 5th generation waterproof drone representing SwellPro's 7 years of knowledge and understanding of drone waterproofing technology.

SplashDrone 4 is the all-new waterproof flight & float platform designed for multipurpose operation in any harsh environment.

All-new IP67 seawater-proof body

SplashDrone 4 is designed to have the best waterproofing technology in the industry. The tough, rigid fuselage is made out of industrial-grade ABS. Each SplashDrone 4 is factory-sealed to the slightest details and air-pressure tested for our exclusive 100% waterproof guarantee. The waterproof motors and internal electronics are also coated with corrosion-resistant coating adding an extra layer of protection over the already total waterproof design.

• Floating Design
• Corrosion-free
• All weather flying (rain & snow)

All-new IP66 Waterproof Remote Controller

The all-new SplashDrone 4 remote controller is now waterproof for your worry-free operation. You can even toss it on the water or rinse off the collected sand. The built-in GPS offers a variety of new features, including real-time tracking and dynamic return to pilot. The remote controller is now capable of offering multiple devices connection for a better collaborative operation.

• 8-hour battery life
• Built-in GPS
• WiFi multi-point hotspot

Multi-functional Payload Options

With its modular multi-functional payload system and open interface design, the SplashDrone 4 can quickly adapt to different tasks in the field. All compatible payloads are waterproof.

• GC3-S
• GC2-S
• GC1-S
• GC3-T

Waterproof Payload Release (not included)

The PL-1 payload release turns the SplashDrone 4 into an aerial bait dropping system that can deliver 2KG of bait and drop the bait at targeted locations up to 4km. The PL-1 can be mounted together with your choice of camera accessories for targeted payload release. Using the SwellPro SDFly app, you can program the bait drop or replay flights to successful fishing locations.

Innovative Smooth+ Flight Control

The patented "Smooth+" flight control allows the pilot to finely tune the Roll and Yaw of SplashDrone 4.Smooth+ makes professional, steady flight control as easy as turning the knobs. Want to take a steady shot? Simply switch to Smooth+ control, together with our 4K 3-axis gimbal, you can take high-quality, ultra-smooth & steady shots effortlessly.

5KM Image Transmission

The latest 5.8GHz digital image transmitter and adjustable antennas ensure a clear and reliable image and control signal range to the SplashDrone 4 of over 5km while airborne.

Important: Due to the nature of radio waves, when flying just 0.5m above the water, the range is still up to 2.8km, and floating on the water surface the transmission range is 500m.

PowerFlip

When the drone turns upside down on the water for any reason, PowerFlip feature turns the drone back to the normal state to take the control back.

Dynamic Return to pilot

The SplashDrone 4 constantly records the GPS position of the remote controller,allowing the aircraft to always return to the pilot‘s position even if they are on a moving boat far away from the original take-off point.

Intelligent Follow me

Actively track the position of the pilot at a constant angle from the front, side, and back with the camera always pointing to the subject. circle-follow-mode.png

Orbit Follow

Automatically follow and orbit around a moving object at a chosen radius.

Boat Mode

Equipped with floating foams, the boat mode allows SplashDrone 4 to sail on the water just like a boat, providing great underwater shots while remains the water area uninterrupted. Caves and other overhead environments can now be accessed by SplashDrone 4 for research, exploration, and underwater photography.

Unrivalled-performance Propulsion System

The more powerful 740Kv Motor, 40A ESC together with optimized aerodynamic design allow for tight, responsive, and total control of SplashDrone 4 in any challenging weather conditions.
