SplashDrone 4 Review by Captain Drones

IP67 Seawater-proof Body

SplashDrone 4 sets the highest standard of waterproofing technology in the drone industry. The tough, rigid fuselage of is made out of marine-grade ABS to withstand wave impact. Each SplashDrone 4 is factory-sealed to the slightest details and air-pressure tested for our exclusive 100% waterproof guarantee. There is no need to concern about losing your expensive drone and important footage in the drink. 

Corrosion-free

Sea air contains salt, which can damage electronics over time. The waterproof motors and internal electronics of SplashDrone 4 are coated with corrosion-resistant coating adding an extra layer of protection over the already total waterproof design.

Floating Design

SplashDrone 4 can float on the water without the need of attaching pontoons or inflatable rescue jackets. Pilots on a small watercraft no longer need to hand-catch the drone. Anywhere on the water could be the platform for takeoff/landing.

Power-flip

When the SplashDrone 4 turns upside down on the water for any reasons, a Power-Flip feature on the remote controller turns the drone back to the normal state to take the control back.

Waterproof Air-vent

A specially-made waterproof membrane placed on top of SplashDrone 4 hatch lid facilitates ventilating and heat dissipation. It allows the barometer to sense the altitude correctly and prevent the inside electronics from being overheated.

All Weather Flyable

Level 7 Wind Resistance

SplashDrone 4 reaches the near-perfect power to weight ratio required to remain stable in a windy situation. 4 high torque and high KV brushless motors provides more thrust than any other consumer-grade drone, keeping SplashDrone 4 on track in winds of up to 31 mph (60 km/h).

Rain & Snow-Proof 

Total water-sealed design keeps moisture out of the electronics inside the SplashDrone 4. The waterproof body by its natures stores the right amount of heat to warm up the battery, ensuring a safe flight in a extreme cold weather.

Creative Freedom, Wherever you Fly

Waterproof 3-axis 4K Camera

Capture smooth videos and crisp photos with the fully waterproof 4K camera stabilized by a 3-axis gimbal. GC3-S is our flagship gimbal camera. The powerful gimbal remains stable against wave impact, and even in water while taking underwater shot. 

Sailing Trip Shot on GC3-S

Raw Supported

GC3-S can shoot raw photo which allows for a variety of editing options in post-production and creates more possibilities for advanced photographers.

Camera Filters

A package of different filters can be added to the GC3-S to reduce sun glare, jello effect and overexposure. By blocking a certain amount of light from contacting the sensor, photographers will be able to film at slower shutter speed and maintain a lower aperture, successfully achieving a footage.

Smooth+ Mode

Dramatic and abrupt movements of a drone can lead to shaky footage. 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, resulting in ultra-smooth, cinematic footage.

Boat Mode

When switching on the boat mode and attaching 2 floating foams to the aircraft, SplashDrone 4 can sail on water just like a boat. An extension bar extends the reach of the GC3-S camera deep down the water, providing great underwater shots. The amphibious flying boat is great for underwater photography and environmental monitoring. 

Storytelling, from All Angles 

5 KM Image Transmission

The latest 5.8GHz digital image transmitter and adjustable antennas ensures a clear and reliable image and control signal range to the SplashDrone 4 of over 5km (3 miles) while airborne. Pilots can instantly see what the GC3-S camera see on the SDFly App connected to the remote controller through WiFi. 

More on Shooting, Less on Controlling

Intelligent Follow Me

SplashDrone 4 can quickly follow you at a constant angle from the front, side, and back with the camera always pointing to you. The aircraft actively tracks the GPS position of the remote controller, keeping the subject center-frame and making follow shot for a moving boat much easier.

Cruise Mode

The Cruise Mode allows you to set a constant flight speed and direction for your SplashDrone 4. The feature minimizes any camera shake from manual control and result in a smoother and more professional-looking video.

Proprietary Flight Control System

The S3 flight controller of SplashDrone 4 is designed by SwellPro in-house team with algorithms optimized for a wide range of operations in unusual environments - providing exceptional stability and responsiveness.

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.
