#WATERPROOF DRONE MANUAL#
It has four different flight modes ranging from rock-steady, automatic hovering, up to fully manual control.Īnother feature that any drone operator will love is the controller’s built-in colour LED display. Using FPV, you can be quite aggressive with your shots and angles, and get much closer than you would normally.Īnd although that sounds like expert piloting (which it is), this drone is not only for the experts. For a water sports videographer, this opens up a whole new world of footage. With its 5.8G video signal, the Spry + can also be paired with any FPV (first-person view) goggles. Like the SwellPro SplashDrone 4, it also has Powerflip, so if your drone gets dumped by a wave, it can turn itself over, and take off again from the water.
The drone’s motors are anodised and coated to protect against salt water, and the camera has a hydrophobic coating, so your footage will always be clear. Surfing, jetfoil surfing, jetskiing all these can now be filmed up close and personal thanks to this small, orange beauty.īoth the drone and the controller are waterproof and corrosion-resistant. The introduction of the SwellPro Spry+ to the market has been a game-changer for drone operators who are into water sports. Not only that, you can use its payload capabilities for a host of other uses, for example, collecting water samples, or acting as a first responder, dropping flotation devices to people in an emergency. It can lift up to 2kg and carry up to 25 baits.
The SwellPro SplashDrone 4 also has a waterproof payload release and a one-click payload drop. Set a mission for it to fly, log and record the mission, and set the SwellPro up to fly back to you automatically. It has Auto Takeoff and can be flown from an app, the same app that can be used to program the drone and fly it on autopilot. It has a 5km flight range, 30 mins flight time, and can whizz along at speeds of up to 60mph.Īnd despite its high-level features, it’s easy to use. The SwellPro can both land and take off from water, and it also offers something unique, Powerflip: if the drone gets flipped over, by a wave, for example, it can right itself. Its body and remote controller are both waterproof to IP67 and IP66 respectively. It has a large, strong airframe, so can be used in windy conditions, while still giving you high-quality, shake-free 4K video.
It’s professional-grade and can be used in a variety of commercial, industrial, and personal uses, from coastal surveys and factory inspections to sea fishing. The Swellpro SplashDrone 4 is a remarkably strong and rugged piece of equipment. The PowerVision PowerEgg X is a waterproof drone (or splash drone) for any videographer or cinematographer who feels limited having a drone that can only be operated in calm, dry weather. Its heft and aerodynamic qualities give it a solid feel that translates into great stability in the air, even in wind speeds up to 20 knots.Īnd that stability itself translates into high-quality, stable footage, which certainly can’t be said for all waterproof drones.Ĭlip-on waterproof housing protects the PowerEgg’s body from rain or splashes, and pontoons can be attached to its legs, enabling it to land on flat water. The drone shoots 4K at 60fps, can fly for 30 minutes, and can be operated up to 3.7 miles (6km) away.īut how does it fly? And what of those watery capabilities? One of the perils of flying drones is crashing them into things, and that happens regularly with other drones that don’t have a good range of sensor coverage. PowerVision has also covered the Egg with sensors, which has great benefits for navigation. It’s a modular device, which means it’s comprised of the egg itself (which is a standalone AI tracking camera), and propeller arms which can be attached to the egg to make it into a drone. The PowerVision PowerEgg X is one of the best waterproof drones for drone lovers who want to fly in the rain or land on water.
