Where The Fish Are
Fisherman FD3 is SwellPro’s most easy-to-use waterproof fishing
drone with camera and bait release. It consolidates several
advantages from its brother-in-arms: the power-efficiency from FD1,
the ease-of-use from SD4, the enhanced reliability from Max. FD3
opens a new realm of possibilities for shore-based anglers: cast baits
far beyond the breaking waves and get the trophy fish fast.

Fisherman FD3
The simplest, yet effective drone to use for bait dropping!
4.8 LBS / 2.2 KG
Bait Capacity
Fisherman FD3 can fly safely while carrying baits of up to 4.8 lbs or 2.2 kg into the ocean. To maximize the reliability, efficiency and high power-to-payload ratio, FD3 utilizes a high-voltage 6S battery, high-thrust brushless motors and high-speed ESC.
1 Mile / 1.6 KM
Drone-Casting
Range
Fisherman FD3 can operate at a range of up to 1.6 km (1 mile). That means land-based anglers can easily drop baits past the breakers or in inaccessible locations where more game fish species are abundant.
Multi-hook Fishing
Fisherman FD3 elevates fishing yield to unprecedented heights. Anglers can put more than 10 hooks, baits or lures into one fishing line and deploy them at different depths of water - insanely increase the chances of catching multiple fish or different species at one time.
4K
Fishing Camera
For Advanced Version
The FD3 advanced version comes with a 4K stabilized camera that can shoot detail-rich photos and videos. The camera can be tilt up or down via the remote controller to broaden pilot’s field of view. With a clear aerial video feedback, land-based anglers can place baits in desired location.
Beach Reading
Pro anglers can read the waves and tides from Fisherman Max’s footage to identity structures such as sandbars, troughs, drop-offs, and channels. Dropping baits where the fish are congregating can increase your chances of catching that trophy fish.
Fish Scouting
When the water is clear enough, you can even locate fish or fish schools on the surface from the high-quality drone footage, at a fraction cost and time of boat. Drop baits where the fish are - maximize fishing success and minimizing gear waste.

S5 Flight Controller
The AlphaGo for Fishing Drone
100% faster than S4.
Refined algorithms for improved flight stability and altitude control.
Higher tolerance for heat, interference, and vibration.
More real-time data feedback for an interactive and safe control.
The new S5 flight controller powers the FD3 to reaches new heights in the performance of fishing drones.
Calibration-free
The S5 can automatically calibrate the flight sensors and eliminate magnetic interference to ensure an accurate and reliable flight performance in different locations. You don’t need to calibrate the FD3 in any beach of the world.
Pendulum-free
The S5 is fine-tuned to increase stability and reduce pendulum effect while the drone is carrying a swaying baited line.
Auto-drop & Return
Fisherman FD3 can automatically release the baits and fly back to the shore in case of low battery and loss of signal.
Dual-Antenna
Dual rotatable antennas enhance the signal transmission in multiple directions, preventing loss-of-signal when the drone flying close to the water.
GPS 9.0
Your Path to Seamless Drone Fishing
The latest 9th-gen GPS, compared with predecessors, makes great improvements in assisting FD3's flight by providing accurate positioning, navigation, and several safety features.
Higher accuracy
Being able to acquire up to 30 satellites, FD3 ensures precise navigation and maintains stable hovering in place.
Faster Acquisition
With stronger signal reception, FD picks up satellites more quickly than ever and reduces the time required to unlock motors.
Multi-satellite
FD3 can access multiple satellite systems including GPS, GlONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou for better signal quality and accuracy.
Interference-free
Advanced signal processing technology is implemented in the GPS receiver to filter out interference and noise.
IP67 Saltwater-proof
The aircraft of FD3 is entirely sealed, then air-pressure tested and dunk tested to guarantee 100% waterproof. The fulsage is made from marine-grade ABS to increase strength and prevent distortion.
Corrosion-free
The waterproof motors, waterproof bait release and internal electronics of FD3 are coated with corrosion-resistant coating - adding an extra layer of protection against the salty air above the ocean.
Self-Floating Design
We designed the FD3 with sufficient buoyancy on the aircraft itself. The drone can keep floating when landing on the water and take off again.
Automatic Flip
If the FD3 accidentally capsizes in the water, you can use the joysticks to flip it back to its normal position, and fly it back to the shore.
Level 7 Wind Resistance
Thanks to the strong propulsion system and the GPS 9.0, FD3 can maintain a stable position and attitude in winds up to 20 m/s (38mph).

Fisherman-friendly Remote Controller
The remote controller of FD3 has a sleek game-console design for maximum comfort. The interface is clean with well-labeled buttons for intuitive control. Pilots can rely on the on-screen telemetry, video feedback and voice alerts to get situational awareness of the aircraft in real-time. A splash-proof and sand-proof body allows the remote controller to survive on the beach. Controlling FD3 is as easy as playing video games.
The advanced remote controller has an inbuilt multi-color display that can show the drone’s live footage in 720P.
FDFly APP

Auto Take-off
Slide on the APP to activate FD3 and take it off
Auto-Fish
Automatically fly to saved location and drop baits
Fishing Spot Saving
Remember GPS points of favorite fishing spots
Slide-in Battery
Swapping battery is super easy. Open the hatch door, slide the battery into the compartment, hit the power button, then you are good to go! The hatch door is 100% waterproof with a rubber seal when closed.
Screw-on Propellers
The threaded propeller mount allows for easy installation and keep the propellers from flying off the fast-spinning motors when the FD3 requires lots of thrust.

Love my new drone , I haven't fished with it yet but should make for some amazing fishing this coming season!
I loved it so much! I can’t wait to use it for shark fishing here in Boston Massachusetts! Thanks so much and I will be posting a review video and me using it while fishing!
Hi
The s/fisherman-fd3-carbon-fiber-propeller
Has broken to me
I am in Argentina
I whould like to buy it again.
A person is in Miami up to 1 April, can you send to him before this date !
Today came the product to me and I have broken it ! Good !!!
I used the drone to train my Falcon. The drone was able to lift the lure with ease. It remained stable to easy to fly.
The very best feature is the GPS flight mode. In this flight mode the drone is completely stable while flying. I don't have to make corrections for wind or any other instabilities, it is all done automatically. The drone automatically maintains its balance. All I have to do is push the joy stick to gain altitude and the other to move in the direction I want to fly. The return home feature is also great.
The instruction manual concerning the camera and the FDFly app is grossly inadequate. Use of the camera is not explained for a beginner and the App is not user friendly. Please make a tutorial video for camera and FDFLY app usage videos, (in english) for your customers. The display screen on the advanced controller is very hard to view. A cover or screen should be provided. This drone flys and delivers baits as advertised. If the folks at swellpro would listen to these reviews and provide proper instructions for the beginner it would be perfect.
