Swellpro Splash Drone 4

 Description

The 5th Generation of Swellpro Waterproof Drones has arrived – and it’s better than ever. The SD4 represents over seven years of design improvements and experience, resulting in Swellpro’s most powerful all-digital floating & flying platform to date. Without a doubt, a new benchmark for waterproof drones has been set; there is simply no drone in the world like it.

Key Features

• IP67 Rated Waterproof Drone
• IP66 Rated Controller: Now with the option to mount a smartphone or tablet
• 5KM Image Transmission Range: On the standard antennas
• Upgraded 30-Minute Flight Time
• 2KG Payload Capacity
• Slide-in Smart Battery

The SD4 comes packed with a plethora of features and an expanded range of payloads, including the established three-axis gimbal camera, which now shoots RAW files. Additionally, a collection of payload release mechanisms and a game-changing thermal imaging camera option are available. The Splashdrone 4 also comes equipped with a new and improved powerful mobile app.

Microprocessor Controlled Smart Drone Battery

Each slide-in SD4 battery has its own integrated microprocessor controller, paired with 6500mAh of high-performance lithium technology cells to provide up to 30 minutes of flight time. The SD4 smart battery offers:

• Real-time power monitoring and alerts
• Integrated balance charging: Ensures battery health, safety, and long life by constantly monitoring battery health, state-of-charge, and temperature.
• Simplified storage and maintenance: The controller manages battery health even when not in the aircraft.
• Fast, slide-in battery replacement: Integrated connectors allow for wire-free installation and replacement.
• Battery charging and usage data logging: Allows for better battery management and event recording.

High-Visibility, Innovative Waterproof Body Design

The design of the SD4’s fuselage combines SwellPro engineers’ extensive experience and understanding of waterproof drones, materials, and processes. Its structure is simple in design, attractive in appearance, lightweight, strong, and most importantly, functional. The body facilitates upgrading, repairing, or replacement of parts and supports various custom modifications thanks to integrated mounting points. A hinged, waterproof hatch makes changing the slide-in battery module fast and easy.

Powerful Propulsion System with Tuned Flight Computer

Following 18 months of intensive R&D, the SwellPro SD4 integrates new motors, digital reflux speed controllers (ESC), and an all-new custom flight computer and gyroscope to deliver a fully-featured multi-purpose flight platform. Capable of flying in challenging weather conditions with variable loads, the new SwellPro SD4 provides a reliable and flexible solution to the challenges of operating safely over water for long distances.

Waterproof Motors

The newly designed 3510 motors offer strong and stable performance with high load-carrying capacity and excellent flight performance. The motors are specifically designed for the marine environment with premium materials, excellent waterproof coatings, and salt-water rated bearings to resist damage from salt and sand.

Carbon Fiber Propellers

The SwellPro SD4 utilizes tuned and balanced 12” quick-release carbon-fiber propellers, which are proven, durable, and unaffected by marine corrosion. Their stiffness and accuracy of pitch make these an ideal solution for high-performance aircraft. The propellers are secured with quick-release bayonet mounts instead of the more common spin-on propellers that can detach when the drone is on the water.

New Reflux Electronic Motor Speed Controllers (ESC)

The SD4 employs new 40A high-speed, digital reflux, energy-saving speed controllers. With fast response, low noise, and integrated heat management, the SwellPro SD4 has shorter braking distances, more stable flight, and lower internal temperatures, helping ensure reliable performance.
