The Splashdrone 4+ (as the name suggests) carries on from a very long Lineage of successful Swellpro Marine Drones, that began with the first splashdrone about ten years ago.
The Splashdrone in recent years has begun to separate itself from the Swellpro FD or Fishing Drone models, as the Splashdrone is intended not only to be a very good Fishing Drone but also carry out many other tasks and activities as well. The Splashdorne 4 introduced many features not seen previously like, and the Splashdorne 4+ enhances and adds to this with a number of new advanced features.
This now also makes the SD4+ a drone that now very desirable for commercial, government, and industrial applications.
One of the biggest advancements for the Splashdrone 4+ has been he addition of a number of payload options and cameras, which can be quickly changed out within minutes.
The setup comes with a new 4K Waterproof Camera with a 3-Axis Gimbal, which is excellent for high performance aerial filming and will record very high quality photos and videos knowing that with the 3-axis gimbal your videos will always be very smooth and level – perfect for sharing on Youtube.
the Camera sensor itself is actually powered by a high-performance SONY sensor, which delivers exceptional clarity-from dynamic 4K 60fps video to ultra-sharp 8000×6000 stills and 48MP, allowing you to capture stunning visuals both above and below the waterline.
