Swellpro Splash Drone 3: Fly in the rain, land on water

The SwellPro Splash Drone 3 don’t just fly, it can also float and film underwater. Both, 2-axis gimbal and 4K camera can be immersed in water allowing to record incredible footage bellow the surface of the water. The dream of any fisherman :D

When it comes about flying over a lake, I’m always afraid of what happens if the drone falls into the water. If the water is deep, you can lose forever your precious quadcopter including your micro SD card with the recorded videos.

The Splash Drone 3 is IP67 rated, which means you can fly on almost any weather condition, whether it’s raining or snowing – of course strong wind is still your enemy.

Thanks to the versatile flight controller, the SwellPro Splash 3 features intelligent flight modes. The Dual mode GPS positioning system uses up to 24 satellites as well as Glonass for improved accuracy.

Compared to its predecessor, this 3rd generation Splash drone comes with a redesigned transmitter with built-in 5″ LCD display. The generous color screen allows to display the camera’s real-time image feed as well as OSD information.
