AWESOME. I am happy that they came out with a new Swell Pro that resolves some issues that I have with my old SPRY and my old SPLASHDRONE Fisherman. I do SAR in western Washington, where it is important to have drones that can be flown in rain, and also look under the surface of lakes and bays. Note that the camera can only see as far underwater as a human eye can. I am happy with the video quality of the cameras. One thing that the SPRY helps with is getting oil sheen samples (downed aircraft). I use the Fisherman to carry (> 2.5 lbs) radios, 1st aid kit, food/water bottles to a victim that may be trapped in a ravine etc. However, the early models had drawbacks. First was the batteries: they are hard to install and the one in the remote can not be replaced by the user when they exceed their useful life. This new drone also evokes the same controller battery concern. The first payload release I had leaked and got corroded, the replacement is fine. I can still use the first one's camera, but not it's release gear. One day I was demonstrating my Fisherman drone to a high school group, and from 20 meters up the line got tangled in a prop and drove straight into the pavement. The soft rubber like shell never scratched. All I had to do was replace propellers and the landing gear. I have a fleet of SAR drones (Autel's, Parrot, DJI's, Swellpro's, and Yuneec Typhoon w/IR). I did have a Skydio and I hated it. Thanks for showing us the new Swell Pro; I am teaching a SAR UAV class this weekend and I am going to mention your video. Side note: besides my USA FAA Remote Pilot license I also have one for Canada, because I have been on SAR missions to BC. Canada is truely a beautiful place. Keep up the great reviews. KM
I was and am in the same boat as you are. I live in the Mill creek area and love to fly drones and as you know its rains quite a bit here. I was afraid to buy there previous versions of swell pro drones with how buggy and unstable they were. If the Captain gives the thumbs up that is good enough for me.
I am so sad that this beautiful device is completely illegal in Europe and Germany in particular. By way of background, dropping devices or transport devices are prohibited in Germany. This is the moment when I would like to live in Canada. Great video.
People complain about it but Canada might actually have the most lax drone laws in the western world.... Anyone who causes trouble with drones is usually LE themselves or a bunch of known thugs to act like pigeon carriers for contraband for prisons
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 smart man, do you sell items when finished ? I would understand if it was sent in, probably send it back out. Or a spot where you sell your old products.
@@mobbmikeyy Some items are sold off to friends. I don't sell to anyone I have not met as I have run into too many situations in the past where individuals buy items and then expect that I will be their service support for the next five years.
Well done Captain!; was very surprised with the quality / stability of the Camera given its limited gimbal specs; thank goodness Tractor Man (and the local Cricket Team!!) had the day off!!!; now, the lift capacity?; well, it would have been interesting to see if it could have lifted the Inspire 2 !!!!!! (sorry, couldn't help that!!!); price wise, a little on the expensive side however irrelevant if your a Pro Fisherman!!!!
That’s pretty cool and we need a good delivery drone for maybe life jackets when we get people in water rescue situation but I’m sure that department that I work with can’t afford it
I think you should hook the shark up to your line by the dorsal fin so it looks like it's swimming through the air. I bet you would get a lot of comments about that. Good video.
VERY NICE FISHING DRONE STEVE IF I DID NOT JUST PURCHASE A AUTEL EVO2PROV3 AND A DROP RELEASE FOR WOULD REALLY LOVE THE FISHERMAN MAX LEAVING FOR THE PHILIPPINES NEXT WEEK LOOKING FORWARD TO FISHING WITH MY AUTEL DRONE I LIVE BY THE SEA SO LOTS OF OPPORTUNITY TO FISH IN THE OCEAN MAYBE SOMEDAY WILL SAVE ENOUGH TO BUY A FISHERMAN MAX
Steve… you know what?… i like this!!! Really…but not for lifting,I just love the 500 size drones!! I still fly frequently,my Tyhoon H,love it!! This one would fit well with my large quad collection.. great review as usual sir👍👍
South Africa is not very strict on drone laws, in fact you can fly a drone up to 7kg without a license as long as it is not for commercial purposes and you abide by the rules. However, all fishing drones are now illegal. The reason is because of an environmental concern. Fishing lines often get broken when out to sea and when that happens you now have miles of fishing line floating out at sea that can get caught up in other fish, turtles, dolphins etc.
That looks amazing, makes me want to take up fishing again. I thought I heard before that it's illegal to drop items from an aircraft? It probably depends on where you live and what you're doing.Great video Steve!
Have not heard of such rules in my area. Amazon plans to continue dropping items from drones as well as many other services (search & rescue, medical, etc).
In Canada the rule is: 602.23 No person shall create a hazard to persons or property on the surface by dropping an object from an aircraft in flight. As long as you don't drop things near people or damage property you should be fine.
Ive been fishing since I was a kid and when we want the bait out we normally do this crazy thing called casting our lines, and you can do it with the same rod and reel that you fish with.. imagine that lol
Yup if you fish in rivers/lakes, the simple casting with a small size reel/rod works. But…I guess you need to try it with the BIG BOYS that cast in the ocean. If you try to cast your way you’d be lucky to get past the beach.
Hey bud. Great Video. I don't know what's going on. but haven't been seeing a lot of your videos showing up in my new video listing. Kinda sad. But then I have to go back and watch multiple videos after lol
Doesn't take a genius to imagine an alternate use for a drone that can lift a decent weight and precisely drop it. (Although its limited range would greatly hamper its utility for military applications.)
I hope they ban certain countries and the app should also not work in those countries like DJI does. Its perfect for military aplication with that giant battery.Way better than the DJIs used in Ukraine.
Wow - it goes up to 1500 Meters! I wonder if a steel dart dropped from that altitude would reach Mach 1 by the time it impacted. Don't you think that would be a fun experiment??
Can you help me mate, just purchased one today. What are the requirements for flying such big drones? Do i need to register with CASA and get a drone pilot license? Im only going to use the drone for recreational activities. Thanks!
You don't want to take off with the line slack like that the big swell pro drones make a lot of wid and it will blow the rope back in the propellers easily
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thats a lot of form to fill for a lot of drones I suppose you will never fly again, is it the same for planes and is it transferred if you sell it?
shouldnt be killing sharks :/ love the sturdiness of the drone. I remember the previous review i had seen the ads, this time i havent seen the new version advertised anywhere. this was fun i wonder if it could bring back the beach advertising banners
Just a matter of time before a new flying cat video. I lived in NC for a while and surf fished a lot. Those guys take it seriously and would not hesitate to spend the $$$. They are worse than bass guys about blowing money on stuff LOL. Good work funny stuff!
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 There are actually purpose built rc boats with gps and all sorts of goodies for bait casting. I remember they were outlawed at Bagnal Dam in the Ozarks. Google "RC bait casting boats" it's pretty interesting.
Steve, are you aware that there is a massive amount of dog shit on the bottom of your boot? 😂 Great drone idea tho. I'm sure there will be a market for it. Thanks for the review.

Huh, boy was I wrong! I always thought a Professional Angler was someone who earns a living (or at least tries) by fishing. Geez, I've been a professional angler all my life........
Overly expensive kids toy….. unless you’re a fisherman, how would you understand what features are important. I work as a marine specialist and that didn’t inspire me at all. My DJI maverick does the job, dropping baits is pointless
I think you need to check out the thousands of people along the coastal cities who are large fish anglers and use drones. Companies do not make products unless there is a demand for them.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 well, i’ll be conpletely honest with you. I work at a Marine outlet here in Sydney, Australia and we have stocked these for a few years….. not one has ever sold.

I love it , Capi !! As big as my Voltage from defunct Heli max. Great so see School Buses back in the air .
Fun video ! 😃
Fisherman’s dream come true !😎
Hi Steve. It really has an authority sound to it........👍
The shark made my day. I have the FD1 but this thing is awesome.
The sound reminded me of my Inspire. I’m sure there are lots of applications for a heavy lifting, drone like that. 👍
That thing is super super cool for putting bait out
Good evening captain you have really insane drones
Excellent video! Amazing drone! Thank you Steve.
awsome footage steve.
Used to have the previous version. great to land in the water and video under water.
I have SAR on my mind. I'm part of a volunteer jungle rescue team. Throw in a Thermal camera and I'm rocking !!
I agree, it would be great for SAR
It's impressive, I want to fly it just for the fun of it. It's massive and it must be so cool to fly a big drone like that!!!
You could lift an end fed wire antenna with that for ham radio. Great video!
Hey I’m a ham too and thought the same thing but I’m 13 year old so I cannot afford it
Total overkill a small drone will do the same and you get bolt on drop device.
love rocker switchs
You surf guys will love this.
Very cool thanks Captain 😊
I have the Fisherman Max ... Thank you for your tutorial video... Very solid drone !!!
Great to hear!
I love how utilitarian it is.
Another great video 🔥 love the way you do things. You must have all type of drones in your warehouse 😂😂 love it man keep it up
I have a small storage space so as new items come in, the old goes out.

Steve, the Camera will tell you the direction of the drone on the screen, and the motor arm lights.🤔

Did the return home got wonky since you switched the GPS on and off in the air?
All good. That has no effect on RTH. You could turn the GPS off in flight (as it only affects flight movement) and RTH will continue to work.
Another good review Steve.
Thanks 👍
That’s pretty cool and we need a good delivery drone for maybe life jackets when we get people in water rescue situation but I’m sure that department that I work with can’t afford it

Always a Top Notch Review !

hey captain drone, could you make a video on how to change the shortcuts of the gamesir controller for tello ? thanks.
The Tello and Gamesir were retired years ago.
Can you attach a hook to make it a recovery, “rescue” drone too. Looking forward to a video of this on water.
Yes. Attach whatever you wish (within weight restrictions)
Hope it can release long line if the fish is a good heavy swimmer😳
