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!

4.4 LBS / 2.0 KG
Bait Capacity

Fisherman FD3 can fly safely while carrying baits of up to 4.4 lbs or 2.0 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.

0.8 Mile / 1.3 KM
Drone-Casting Range

Fisherman FD3 can operate at a range of up to 1.3 km (0.8 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

Advanced

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.

The Most Reliable Drone on the Surf

The Most Reliable Drone on the Surf

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 18 m/s (40mph / 35 knots).

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.

FDFly APP

Drone-cast
at Your Fingertips

The FDFly APP enable several autopilot features on the FD3. That makes it even easier for anglers who have no piloting experiences to fly baits out.

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

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.

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.

FD3

I have flown the FD3 several times and it is very responsive to the controller. I have made some videos and they are very clear and stable. Flies very well and the batteries really last. It is a very good product. I haven't flown it at the beach yet but will soon.

FD3

Took it to the beach this past weekend, it’s very easy to operate. The drone flew out the heaviest bait into the wind and the other baits with a semi crosswind perfectly. I’m not familiar with fishing drones but this drone exceeded my expectations.

FD3 Fishing drone, Excellent product

Very good product , well made and easy to operate. Glad I got the advanced model with extra props and 2 batteries. Total 3 batteries came with drone, charger charges fast and you can adjust how many amps you are charging at, it does controller and batteries. The only draw back is the user manual. Some of the features are vaguely explained or not at all like the power button and the search button on the side of the display or how to replace the barometric membrane. Also it does not explain how to secure the swellpro logo plate over the barometric membrane, mine will.not lock down.There are a few other things but overall it's a great product for all kinds of applications, not just fishing. I will give an update after actually surf fishing with it and how well swell pro treats me if I have to make a warranty claim. So far swellpro support reps responded to my questions/emails within 24 to 36 hours. I Definitely think Swellpro should include a quick start laminated card to help first time users quickly get the FD3 opreratuonal without reading the entire manual. I'm very happy so far!

Very good drone and easy to control

The drone is nice, instructions are clear and everything about the drone is simple and easy. The only thing is the camera film quality could be improved as it can be a bit blurry depending on the time of day. Another thing is the battery life. I used very light bait (2OZ sinker with a live mullet), cast it 100M or so off-shore but the battery seems to give off a warning after 4 trips.

Overall it’s a very cool drone and is fun to use, and helped me catch come cool types of fish. Camera is handy to see where you drop, but as far as film quality, it could be improved. As far as the battery, an extra battery would be ideal if you plan on going for a full day of drone fishing, otherwise use the drone sparingly and don’t fly it far and it should last you the whole day. Also, where I live the weather gets up to 110F or 46C, which may cause the battery to heat and drain faster.

The drone is amazing super easy set up. Flying it is a breeze .i do recommend the advanced version .battery has really good flight time the only thing i wish was better was camera options the 4k it comes with is really nice but limited controls. I put it through its paces I did a break in period just to make sure everything was kosher it’s done over 40 1 pound test drops for the most part I am very happy with it shout out to the lisharkman for everything he is the reason I went with swellpro I hope I have some good shark pics next week

Fisherman FD3

I have been watching Swellpro Drones on YouTube and at the beach here in Texas for a while. I’ve been fishing with a competitor drone which was not waterproof but luckily got the job done without getting drowned in the Gulf. I finally bit the bullet and bought the Swellpro Fisherman FD3 Advanced. Ordering was easy and received it in about a week. It was packed very well and everything including 2 extra batteries and 2 extra sets of props fit nicely in the carrying case. So far this drone has performed excellent, zero problems. The only thing I see that could maybe be done better is more detailed instructions on camera use and the FDFly app. Still haven’t figured out how to get it to auto fly to waypoints and drop bait. Overall I would recommend this drone for anyone. At 72 years old, it sure makes it easy to get big baits out where they need to be without having to wade out to cast. A lot easier on old shoulders too! 😂
