SwellPro was founded in 2014 with the creation of the world's first waterproof quadcopter and with a mission to solve a problem: people tend to lose their drones when flying over water or have drones compromised by bad weather. With a drone that is not afraid of water and other elements of nature, pilots will have more confidence to achieve the desired results in a situation that was previously impossible.
​
SwellPro`s drones are reliable, durable and can integrate various types of sensors, payloads and accessories. With SwellPro you increase safety and productivity for both human and vehicle.
​
Applications: search and rescue, environment and wildlife conservation, surveillance, delivery, ship inspection, marine biology, water and pollution monitoring, others.
IATEC Plant Solutions can share its extensive experience in the application of UAVs and help its customers to select, purchase and maintain the full range of SwellPro products.
SplashDrone 4
SplashDrone 4 is the 5th generation waterproof drone representing SwellPro's 7 years of knowledge and understanding of drone waterproofing technology. SplashDrone 4 is a waterproof flight and flot equipment designed for multipurpose operation in any harsh environment.
FEATURES
IP67 Seawater-proof Aircraft: SplashDrone 4 is designed to have the best waterproofing technology in the drone industry. The tough, rigid fuselage of is made out of industrial-grade ABS. Each SplashDrone 4 is factory-sealed to the slightest details and air-pressure tested for our exclusive 100% waterproof guarantee.
​
-
Corrosion-free: The waterproof motors and internal electronics of SplashDrone 4 are coated with corrosion-resistant coating adding an extra layer of protection against the salt and moisture in sea air.
-
Floating Design: Pilots on a small-sized watercraft no longer need to hand-catch their drones. SplashDrone 4 can fly over water, land on the water, and take off again without the need of attaching external pontoons.
-
Air-vent: A specially-made waterproof membrane placed on top of SplashDrone 4 hatch lid facilitates ventilating, ensuring correct altitude holding and excellent heat dissipation.
Power-flip: When the drone turns upside down on the water for any reasons, Power-Flip feature turns the drone back to the normal state to take the control back.
​
IP66 Waterproof Remote Controller: SplashDrone 4 comes with the industry’s first waterproof remote controller for your worry-free option. Relax and enjoy total freedom while filming, as your SplashDrone 4 remote controller is not afraid of the rain, sea spray and can even take a dunking in the water.
Level 7 Wind Resistance: The more powerful 740Kv Motor, 40A ESC together with optimized aerodynamic design allow for tight, responsive, and total control of SplashDrone 4 in any strong wind of up to 31 mph (60 km/h).
​​
Rain & Snow-Proof: Total water-sealed design keeps moisture out of the electronics inside the SplashDrone 4. The waterproof body by its natures stores the right amount of heat to keep the battery warm, ensuring a safe flight in a extreme cold weather.
​
5 KM Image Transmission: The latest 5.8GHz digital image transmitter and adjustable antennas ensures a clear and reliable image and control signal range to the SplashDrone 4 of over 5 km (3 miles) while airborne. Pilots can instantly see what the GC3-S camera see on the SDFly App connected to the remote controller through WiFi.
Intelligent Flight Modes: With Follow me, the aircraft actively tracks the GPS position of the remote controller, keeping the subject center-frame and making follow shot for a moving boat much easier.
​​
Cruise Mode: The Cruise Mode allows you to set a constant flight speed and direction for your SplashDrone 4. The feature minimizes any camera shake from manual control and result in a smoother and more professional-looking video.
​
Dynamic Return to Pilot: The SplashDrone 4 constantly records the GPS position of the remote controller, allowing the aircraft to always return to the pilot‘s position even if they are on a moving boat far away from the original take-off point.
​
Smooth+ Mode: The patented "Smooth+" flight control allows the pilot to finely tune the Roll and Yaw of SplashDrone 4. Smooth+ makes professional, steady flight control as easy as turning the knobs. Simply switch to Smooth+ control, together with our 4K 3-axis gimbal, you can take high-quality, ultra-smooth & steady shots effortlessly.
Boat Mode: When switching on the boat mode and attaching 2 floating foams to the aircraft, SplashDrone 4 can sail on water just like a boat. An extension bar extends the reach of the GC3-S camera deep down the water, providing great underwater shots. The amphibious flying boat is great for underwater photography and environmental monitoring.
​
Real-time HD Video Streaming: SplashDrone 4 can stream 720P@30fps video in real time to the SDfly APP through a digital 5.8G image transmitter. The video feedback allows you to easily read the water, identify signs of fish and determine the location for bait dropping.
​
Fishing Spot Saving & Autopilot: On the map of SDfly APP, you can log the GPS coordinates of favorite fishing spot and make SplashDrone 4 automatically fly to the saved spot where you are going to drop baits.
BENEFITS
-
Reduce time: SplashDrone 4 WQMS drastically increases the mobility of the operation. In 1 minute, the drone can reach any location within 600 meters and proceed with water sampling, reducing the time needed for the total operation.
-
Precise Targeting: With built-in accurate GPS, SplashDrone 4 WQMS can automatically navigate to a target spot based on the GPS coordinates you set on the App.
-
Risk-free Drone Operation: SplashDrone 4 WQMS is 100% IP67 waterproof and floatable so you never need to worry about losing your drone.
-
Reduce Costs: When collecting water with SplashDrone 4 WQMS, you eliminate or reduce the need for a boat as well as maintenance and specialized training.
-
Repeatable Data Collection: With the drone's Route Saved feature, operators can save the sampling location and quickly re-access the exact location for the next operation, allowing for a repeatable, consistent water sampling data collection.
-
Risk-free Human Operation: SplashDrone 4 WQMS eliminates the need for operators to travel over the water or enter hazardous areas. Hence, reduce any possible risk for human on-water operation.
