Quick Glance

This drone boasts a 100% waterproof parts with IP67 tag that signifies the drone’s resistance to dust and water.

It weighs 2.18 kg including the battery and propellers and has a maximum payload capacity of 2kg (4 lbs).

Furthermore, it’s controller is also waterproof with IP66 tag, you can even dunk it in the water to test it out!

SwellPro SplashDrone is specially designed for fishing and can withstand all types of weather and all types of fishing places.

You can also acquire its 4k Waterproof Camera which captures and records decently. The maximum flight time of this drone reaches up to 30 minutes per battery (without strong winds and load).

Structure and Design

The SwellPro SplashDrone 4 is made out of industrial-grade ABS materials (combination of highly durable and lightweight plastic materials).

This drone has 100% waterproof body with IP67 tag that signifies the drone’s resistance to dust and water. The motors and internal electronics are also coated with corrosion-resistant coating providing extra layer of protection.

However, it’s not completely invincible because deeper submersion or longer duration of it being underwater can still damage the aircraft.

It weighs 2,180 grams (2.18 kg) including battery & propellers with dimensions of 19.3″L x 16.7″W x 10.4″H

Additionally, it can float over water and takeoff from it with ease as well as flip back when accidentally turned upside down (which is pretty common because of the waves).

SwellPro SplashDrone 4 is certainly built to conquer all types weather and all types of fishing areas.

This drone exceeds the under 250 grams excemption of Federal Aviation Authority. Click here to learn more about the drone weight regulation implemented by the FAA.

Remote Controller

The SwellPro SplashDrone 4’s remote controller is also waterproof however only for like light rains and light water exposure (you can still submerge it on water).

Well, you can still use it when your hands are wet since it’s usually the case when you’re fishing. It also has an amazing screen that provides a live video feed from the drone’s camera.

Furthermore, it has easy-to-use controls and rubber-sealed buttons. This drone might need a little bit of a learning curve especially with beginners.

If you want to use your phone and connect it to the drone, this controller provides a phone holder but you need to purchase a bigger if you want to use a tablet.

By the way, there are some bugs and malfunctions in regards with the app like its telling you that the SD card is not inserted (but its manageable).

Bait Release Feature

The bigger the payload capacity of a fishing drone, the better! SwellPro SplashDrone 4 boasts its incredible 2 kg (4lbs) of bait lift capacity.

Moreover, you don’t need to worry about the bait swinging back and forth since this drone remains stable and resist pendulum when carrying heavy baited lines.

You can certainly attach multiple baited hooks to one line or drop as long as it doesn’t exceed the weight capacity in order to catch more fish in one go!

Camera and Video Quality

This drone’s camera is definitely not comparable to those higher end drones which specializes in aerial photography and filming like DJI Mavic 3 Pro, DJI Air or Autel Robotics EVO Lite+.

On the other hand, it’s not that bad either, it has video capture resolution of 2.7k/60 fps in normal setup and can still reach 4k/30fps.

SwellPro SplashDrone 4 can also stream 720p/30fps video in real time through a 5.8G image transmitter. This will allow you to easily get information like fish or bait location.

It can certainly be used both above-water and underwater scouting since it’s camera is also waterproof with 3-axis gimbal.

However, this camera is only optional if you want to include it on your purchase as well as the dronar (a wireless sonar fish finder).

Flight Performance

The SwellPro SplashDrone 4 comes with two cleverly designed batteries. Each of them provides up to 30 minutes of maximum flight time (no wind & load).

This drone is calibration-free in which I think is impressive since you can have more time flying around doing your stuff.

By the way, it uses Analog FPV system which uses analog radio frequencies to send video signals so its not great in areas like forests and buildings.

It has a controllable range of up to 3 miles/5 km (casting baits out into the ocean is now easy). You can easily do 5 drops of bait per charge!

Furthermore, SwellPro SplashDrone 4 can reach a maximum speed of 22 m/s (ATTI) and 10 m/s (GPS mode). It also has level 7 wind resistance.

Another key feature worth mentioning is its Auto-Fish, it can automatically fly to marked fishing spots on the APP to drop baits.

Be careful when taking off since it kind of launches in backward direction, so keep your distance from it to avoid getting hit with its sharp propellers.

Usage Tips and Recommendations

BEFORE EVERY FLIGHT:

1. Make sure there are no damages on the propellers.
2. The battery is fully inserted and firmly locked.
3. The antennas are tightened (upwards when it needs to fly in high altitude and downwards if it needs to fly the surface of the ocean/water).
4. All the payloads are firmly attached.
5. If you want the drone to float on the water, make sure to attach floating boards on each arms.

AFTER EVERY FLIGHT

1. Make sure to rinse your aircraft with freshwater to remove salt and sand (make sure that battery compartment is still sealed to avoid damage).
2. Wipe the drone with clean, dry cloth before removing the battery.
