SwellPro FD1 - Best Drone for Falconry
DESCRIPTION
The SwellPro FD1 Falconry Edition is the ultimate tool for professional falconers and trainers. Originally designed for sea fishing, the FD1's robust features make it the perfect companion for falcon training, allowing falconers to simulate dynamic hunting conditions. With a payload capacity of up to 5lbs, the drone can carry lures, parachutes, or other tools, helping falcons improve their strength, conditioning, and hunting skills.
The FD1 is equipped with the PL1-F payload release mechanism, offering precise control over lure drops, and the optional Trollsafe device, which automatically releases the lure when tension thresholds are reached. With an impressive 500m altitude range, falconers can train their birds at heights that push their limits while ensuring safety.
Designed to withstand challenging conditions, the FD1 boasts an IP67 waterproof rating and can operate in winds up to 35 mph (Beaufort Force 7). Its long battery life of up to 30 minutes per flight ensures uninterrupted training sessions, while the durable design and user-friendly remote controller make it easy to use for beginners and experts alike.
