    You are so lucky I've always wanted to live there I am an automotive mechanic and to stop corrosion also FYI I used to be a technician on boats in saltwater in Tacoma Washington if you use a little dielectric grease on all of your external electric connections it is designed to keep them from corroding and it will also aid to the waterproofing in place and it will not harm anything love your videos keep it up

    SwellPro should equip the drone with a little kayak paddle and get it to roll itself over. Nice video and good presentation. Very interesting and entertaining. Thanks.

    I've not read all the comments below so maybe this has already been brought up, but it seems like spinning the propellers on one side would "flip" the drone back upright when it is floating in the water. This could be programmed into the drone by the manufacturer as an option that you could execute at need. If they added that functionality it would make this drone even more attractive imo.

    Great Video Dustin [as usual]. I have been an avid RCer [planes] since 1970 and currently have a pretty decent collection of drones.
    Actually this isn't a bad idea. A water proof platform takes tremendous worry from any one who regularly flies over water and engages in water sports. It can offer a viable concept for fishing particularly when your going for fish in hard to reach estuaries or along salt water marshes and other hard to cast places.
    We fish for Red and Black drum of the coast of north east Florida and I can tell you one thing - casting from shore can be a bitch due to the total weight of the lead, hooks [2 aught] and bait [huge chunks of crab].
    Its a mute issue if you use a boat,of course, but that's an additional hassle [even if you own one]. With this set up precision casting can be a breeze - not to mention enjoying two past times at once.
    As far as the price - I think it could be a little lower [who wouldn't] but considering it is a truly waterproof drone it may well be worth the price.
    Again great video
    Cheers.

    Great review Dustin! I don't own an aerial drone yet and I've been researching drones for the past 4 weeks watching videos (probably at least 100 videos) to determine what features I want, cost factors, and spare parts availability. Your video review is one of the best I seen so far. I look forward to future reviews from you on the SwellPro. Keep up the good work!

    • @AllenBrooks
      @AllenBrooks 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mike Michels keep in mind there's two sides to every coin and that there are aerial quadcopters in racing quadcopters for multi rotors if you want to use layman terms lol. Deciding what you want to do and what kind of experience you want will allow you to pick the right quad for you to fly FYI. Dustin does great reviews through a mixed selection with quads.

    I feel like the flip over would be easy to fix for SwellPro. All they need to do is program it to put full power to either the front 2 props or rear 2 props to essentially pull the side under and flip it back over. Sounds plausible in theory.

  • @joelstanhope7231

      Exactly what I am thinking! The antennas were strategically put on the bottom, just for this type of situation. I cant fault the Drone company, not until I see it fail to upright itself, with the antennas in the factory positions, on bottom.

    We took this drone to Greenland and have just released a full review of this drone in a 7 minute video on our channel. We really wanted this drone to be a success story because it promised everything we wanted in a drone. Stable 4K filming and waterproof. While the thought of a waterproof does sound very appealing, this product really performed poorly. While being waterproof is a great feature, it’s completely undermined by inconsistent performance and poor image quality.

    Hello Dustin,
    I know it's been 11 months since you did this test but it seems to me that if the gimble mount was 2 inches longer dropping the camera down another 2 inches, the center of gravity in water would change and automatically flip the drone over.

    you have to be the calmest drone reviewer on the internet dude LOL! I really do mean that as a compliment. you are so calm. even when I watch the one that you did where the drone didn't make it all the way back home in the rain because of low battery and you had to drive and go get it. I was so stressed out watching that flight, I thought I might even have to go to the hospital or something LOL, and you were just chillin 😂😂

      Hi Jason the flipping issue is not a drawback actually. we set this by purpose so that the drone won't take off and crash if the body is not a flat platform. anyway, we will find a way to improve this.

    Hi Dustin, first time viewer here. I watched this entire vid. Was blown away by your narration. Love your passion for flying. I've never even heard of this drone until now ! Was seriously impressed with this. My initial thought was that this thing isn't cheap. Absouluty loved the scenery. You are definitely living the dream. How long have you lived in Hawaii ? I've never been there till now :) Incredible !!! My 3 year dream has been to own the Mavic Pro. I've never graduated from the toy grade quads. I have the XS809HW. Not bad for toy grade. I've actually had dreams of owning a Mavic. I've been to Best buy Several time's, just to see it up close, lol. So close yet so far. Which do you like better, this or the Mavic ? Thanks again for a Spectacular review. Liked and Subscribed. Probably the best review I've seen to date. Cheer's from Clinton twp Michigan..

  • @joelmartinez4822
    @joelmartinez4822 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I believe the antenna or signal receiver is at the top of the drone for better reception with satellites and under the water there’s no signal that’s way under water drones need to be connected to with the remote so you can still control it. That’s the best explanation I can think of. Nice video I like it. Thank you.

  • @1JBTheGiant

    When you say you taped the FPV & Controls wire to the top of the arms, did you remove the wire from being down in the nipples? Or did you leave them down there, but tape the excess to the top of the arms? I just got my SplashDrone 3 and the wire that is down in the nipple seems to be pretty snug in there and I don’t want to damage anything trying to remove it lol

    As usual Dustin an excellent review. Was thinking, maybe the added buoyancy of the Go Pro waterproof case in the SD2 raised it slightly higher in the water, enabling the flip over method, to upright it. Possible solution add some extra buoyancy under the SD3. Did you manage to override the 500 meter limit. I assume that in Atti one does not have the limitation, its only in GPS mode. Or am I wrong.

I was really thinking of getting one but the 2 major cons, the flipping piece is a major con for me as in the event it goes down far out in the water, your screwed..The gimbal is not all that great, still some shaking and vibration in the video...If I’m filming it has to be smooth but for what it is , I love the Splash drone, maybe next generation..I’l wait..

      Haven't run it for a few months so we'll see soon. I'd recommend after it dries from a thourough freshwater rinsing (submerge and spin motors in fresh water if possible) apply some corrosion block in and around motors and all metal screws outside. Make sure no water or residue is inside, put a few silica packs inside and seal cover lightly to store, storage batteries to ~50% power until next use 👍

    Nice. I noticed you fly a lot of drones and rc planes in your past videos and since I love flying drones myself I definitely had to sub :) cheers from Sweden keep up the good work 👌

    Do you think changing the antenna position in the drone made it unflippable?

    • @DustinDunnill
      @DustinDunnill  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's a software limitation SwellPro is working on.

  • @emgee44
    @emgee44 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I know you shot this 2 years ago but I wonder how it coped having been in salt water?
    Ah OK I checked SwellPro's website and they state it has a special coating to protect it against saltwater corrosion. They also state it's world first but I remember seeing something very similar back in 2013 from a startup called Aquacopter, I wonder if it's the same people? Interesting Quad though.

    For flipover maybe put some weight on one leg. don't know if that works.

    • @MrJerryjam
      @MrJerryjam 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was thinking the same thing except locating it at one or both ends of the forward flying landing bars. This theory could be tested in the pool. Would this help or hinder flying speed into headwinds?

  • @crotaflyingsolo4759
    @crotaflyingsolo4759 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you remember you moved the antenna to the upper side of the fuselage instead of the downward originally mounted area! So when you were upside down you lost signal!! Maybe add an additional antenna wire to the original mounting area as a failsafe. I Would like to know the outcome? Charlie

    • @DustinDunnill
      @DustinDunnill  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Keeping it on the bottom just looses signal when landing in water. At least in the arm allows a 50/50 chance for reconnect

    Bro honestly that is by far the coolest drone I've ever seen!!! Now I just have to buy one. I'm currently using the mjx bugs b2w GPS drone but I want that one. What is the max distance it can fly??

    • @DustinDunnill
      @DustinDunnill  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's limited to 500 meters until you change the limit in the software while plugging it into your computer.

  • @chuckmorton5730
    @chuckmorton5730 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I suspect that your control signal gets damped when the antenna is moved from the nipples to the arms. Radio waves don't go well underwater. You stated on the SD 2 that the antennas were in the nipples so they would be out of the water when upside down and therefore get a better signal reception. By the way on a pool float test I dropped my SD 3 during recovery , it landed upside down and it self righted without me doing anything. I have not retested that so it may have been a one off event.
    I moved my video antenna up into the arm because I lost FPV when in the water when it was in the nipple.

    Awesome video....answered my question on floating if it hits the water. Do you need a licenses and do you have to send paper work some where to register your drone ? How much was the drone and do you need a cell phone for this drone to fly ? Thanks again.....great place to live...

    • @DustinDunnill
      @DustinDunnill  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Check your drone regulations for your country. Done need cell phone unless you want to try way point flight.

    • @DustinDunnill
      @DustinDunnill  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks, you could use parabolic dish on controller antennas or an amp would work to boost signal 👍

  • @darrellclark9596
    @darrellclark9596 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    is it possible the relocating of the antennas may have effected the righting and return home?
    was she "geo fenced" at 500 m?

    • @DustinDunnill
      @DustinDunnill  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +Brandon Z I've shared my recommendation to SwellPro today and they are positive about letting it arm and roll briefly when upside down in water to make it fully right 👍. Hope they can.

    • @bzfpv5311

That be so soon tho if you could just go to air to water or water to air without having to put anything extra for it to work lol.

    Dang,that's a shame,that was my main concern about it not self righting,I wonder if some type of pole on top with a float would help it to flip upright?.Thanks for the review

    • @DustinDunnill
      @DustinDunnill  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +timbobain SwellPro is hopefully implementing the ability to fully roll to right side up like I was trying to do in the pool in the end but couldn't quite complete the roll.

  • @JuanVargas-bc8su
