New features and improvements exclusive to the Splash Drone 3+
Tough & Waterproof
The Splash Drone 3+ fuselage is made from durable 3mm reinforced ABS to ensure a perfect waterproof seal. Each drone undergoes at least two pressure tests during production to ensure it is 100% waterproof. All parts, both inside and out, are corrosion resistant and designed for use in marine environments. A new access hatch lid with air pressure equalisation allows altimeter accuracy without permitting water entry.
Powerful Propulsion System
The new S3 flight controller, integrated with new sensors and a powerful propulsion system, allows for greater sensitivity and accuracy than ever. This means you can fly Splash Drone 3+ safely and smoothly with more confidence over water or in rain and snow. The S3 Flight Controller constantly checks for errors and offers redundancy to improve flight stability. The dual-mode GPS locks onto up to 24 satellites from the GPS and GLONASS systems for improved accuracy and speed of positioning.
Quick-Fit Propellers
Redesigned carbon-fibre propellers are light and stiff to efficiently transform the motors power into thrust. A new quick-fit design enables fast and secure attachment of the propellers to the motors. The powerful new motors provide strong performance, speed and lifting capacity. A special coating system ensures maximum resistance to salt water corrosion and power delivery for take-off from water and in heavy rain.
Power and manoeuvrability to fly in winds up to Beaufort Force 4 (28 kmh) with gusts to Force 6 (49 kmh).
All in One Remote Controller
The Splash Drone 3+ comes with a custom designed, fully integrated remote controller. Redesigned controls maximise ease-of-use and efficiency, while a fully integrated, high-brightness 5″ FPV screen clearly displays live video and overlaid (OSD) flight data without the need for any additional equipment. Flight control, payload release and camera controls are all at your fingertips.
Cruise Mode
Switch the remote controller into the Cruise mode and you will be able to pan (yaw) and fly the Splash Drone 3+ simultaneously with a single joystick, making your flight path smoother for more cinematic footage.
Smooth+ Control
Go from joystick to fine knob control of drone rotation, direction or orbit – great for smooth videos and accurate flight.
Fly Autonomously
Add the Ground Station option and your mobile phone or GPS-enabled tablet and take control of the Splash Drone 3+ with your fingertips! The Swellpro FLY APP enables several smart flight modes, which drastically reduces manual input from the pilot, making flying the Splash Drone 3+ even easier.
Follow Me
The Splash Drone 3+ will constantly follow and turn towards you as you move at a max speed of 20 kmh, recording awesome selfies.
Mission Planning
Tap to select waypoints on a map and the Splash Drone 3+ will execute the mission on command.
Point of Interest
Select a circling radius and the number of orbits to capture the perfect video with your chosen subject always in the middle of the frame.
Fly Safely
Splash Drone 3+ includes multiple layers of protection to keep your aircraft safe and help ensure your drone comes home safely.
Return Home
If the signal is lost, the Splash Drone 3+ returns to the starting point and lands gently. You can also tap Return-Home on the app or flick the Return-Home switch on the remote controller to retrieve the drone.
Low Battery Alerts
During flight, if the battery voltage reaches two predetermined warning levels, the remote controller will display a clear flashing notice for the pilot.
Low Battery Auto-Landing
When the battery is almost completely drained, Splash Drone 3+ will execute an in-position auto landing to prevent a crash.
Lost Drone Location Beacon
If you inadvertently lose or crash your drone out of sight, you will instantly have the drone’s location pinpointed on the APP’s map, even with low batteries. (Ground Station module required).
Self-Righting When Floating
If the aircraft becomes inverted when it’s on the water, the Splash Drone 3+ can flip itself right-side-up on command – ready to take off again.
