Fisherman FD1 is a simplified yet enhanced version of SplashDrone 3+.
It uses the same technology of SplashDrone 3+ but removed all the bells and whistles that don’t contribute to bait dropping. With a stronger propulsion system, Fisherman FD1 enables higher bait lit capacity, longer flight time and better wind resistance than SplashDrone 3+. Fly more baits further out and reel more fish in less hours.

With its superior 2kg payload capacity, the Fisherman FD1 gives you the flexibility to carry more than 10 baited hooks or lures on each cast or drop heavy live baits for sharks or tuna.

PL2-F:
Payload release with an angle-adjustable camera for real-time vision.With the optional FPV goggles, you can view live HD video from the PL2-F to easily scout where the fish are. The camera’s wide dynamic range maximize details in sun-glare.
Sky-Trolling:
You don’t need to drive a boat to troll for fish. With the Fisherman FD1 you can troll your line to attract pelagic fish. The optional TrollSafe release device can automatically release the line when you get a strike. Adjust the release to suit the conditions. TrollSafe can also protect your drone in case of a reel jam or a bird striking your line.
Trollsafe release device (optional):
The Trollsafe can be directly mounted onto the Fisherman FD1 or used in conjunction with PL1-F and PL2-F.
IP67 seawater proof:
The fuselage of the Fisherman FD1 is made from industrial-grade ABS and is 100% water-sealed and pressure-tested.
Both the external waterproof motors and internal electronics are coated for further corrosion-resistance. No more tragedy of DJI-fishing-gone-wrong.
Go against the wind:
The new propulsion system and flight computer are tuned to maximized control responsiveness and allow the Fisherman to fly in winds up to Beaufort Force 7.
Wind speed:
28–33 knots
32–38 mph
50–61 km/h

Multi-cast per charge:
A new 6700mAh/4S high-voltage lithium battery provides up to 33 minutes of flight time (without bait), allowing up to 6 bait drop missions from a single battery charge (distance dependent).
1.5 mile casting range:
The new remote controller supports control distances of up to 1600m.You will probably run out of line before your run out of range with your Fisherman FD1.
Simplified remote controller:
The new dust-proof and splash-proof remote controller keeps flying simple.The integrated high-brightness 3-inch digital display provides critical flight information so you don’t need a phone or tablet to fly your baits.Even no vices can learn how to fly the Fisherman FD1 in just a few minutes.
Fly safe
Intelligent return home:
After dropping your baits, simply flick the Return-home switch on the remote and the Fisherman FD1 will fly itself back to its take-off point and gently land automatically so you can focus on reeling the fish in!
New interference-resistant GPS & altimeter design:
The new elevated GPS and altimeter pod provides more precise position and altitude control against interference. The new pod also makes sure the compass always “go north” in unusual magnetic fields.
Anti-Pendulum Feature:
Drones may have a pendulum motion when flying with a payload. This feature can reduce the pendulum effect on the Fisherman by controlling the acceleration and de-acceleration.
Failsafe Return:
In case of loss of signal, or when the battery level reaches a low threshold, the Fisherman drone will automatically release the fishing line and return to its starting point.
GL1 FPV Goggles (optional):
The optional Swellpro FPV goggles can be used as a display screen or on-face goggles to ensure a clear live view from the fisherman even in bright sunlight.
