Awesome... I am now a “drone freak”.. cannot get enough of them.... especially the small fpv drones..... thanks for sharing....

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

Great job. I'll look for part 1, and look forward to p3. 👍

Love ur videos Dustin. Very informative and trust worthy. Thanks man!!

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 😂😂

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.

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.

is it possible the relocating of the antennas may have effected the righting and return home? was she "geo fenced" at 500 m? 33.05 its a ray of some kind.( sting or Manta)....great video

Question how about a test flying in the rain? An idea that could solve the flip upside down in the water for the drone? A antenna underneath the drone perhaps on either side of the gimble that is always pointing down and so the flip to upside down would still have an antenna pointing up for a signal

Hi Dustin, how are you? 😀 Great video. But zimwas wondering if you had a chance to test the " follow me" mode? I'm new t other Drone world, does that mean that if you pedaling your bicycle and put on that Drone will follow you? How about obstacle avoidance, does the Splash 3 has this capability? How about the amount of time it can fly, I heard the DJI can fly up to 30 min, is that right? And the Splahs 3 is only 16 min, right? I'm thinking about going back to Brazil and start shooting mountain climbers and enduro guys and mountain bike guys on their trails, which Drone would you recommend? I liked the water proof thing but in term said of technology the DJI is better, isn't it? And it's much more portable, if I want to have with me in my bicycle or motorcycle and go ahead of the clients to position myself the Mavic Pro seemed to be the ideal, what do you think Thanks for your time and input. Aloha. Oh, by the way, I loved the music at the end, can you tell me who that was? Thanks. 😀

Damn that no flip was a bummer. I just ordered a FD3 instead of a SD4 for its dual release mech mostly. I do hope it can flip. Thanks for the vid.

Good review, thanks. 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..

How come on the controller screen it’s all scratchy but when you put the video’s final product, it’s clear like crystal? Any editing involved ? Or is it just the controller, and the final product will always look like that without editing

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.

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.

that video quality is amazing

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.

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.

Do u have a link where we can buy it from?

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.

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.
