Multirotor News Link Drone off the water? ! Then play it!—splash drone evaluation

Hot summer is coming, followed by rainstorm weather and delighted water activities, if anyone wanted to bring your own drone to run these scenarios? All kinds of new models recently released, so the question comes, if a lot of drones fell in the water, which one do you want to save?- I only know that will not be Splash Drone, because it is for the waterproof!



Splash Drone is not the recent new model, the main market in overseas. so in domestic isn’t popular, but 5 years overseas experience makes Splash Drone become more reliable. Once we're hoping to launching drones like want flying cars, it sounds very cool! Although we do not recommend violence operation, but at tests we had outage air deliberately and sailors fell it into the water, which still poised to take off, can't again capricious!


Splash Drone not only waterproof、 the rain, it can sink to stop falling in the water, fall in the water ，and in the face of all sorts of heavy rain also can safe and sound.



Splash Drone the first sense that gives a person is thick line, without Ventilation The shell, isn’t a integrated ,but don't need to sealant glass glue. Considering the complexity of various waters from, shell、 motor 、gimbal 、screw using corrosion resistant materials, even in sea can easily deal with, that is reason why the splash drone heavier than other drone.


Unscrew the four screws. The most prominent is the battery and GPS/compass, the status of the indicator is hidden deep in the belly, without electricity that can’t found it, calibrate the compass and accelerometer should pay attention to see them.

Splash Drone internal line is more coarse, The interface has a clear reminder, users pay attention to the identification on the line,The interface has a clearreminder ,It easy to change the parts,


Splash drone propeller is different , kuang kuang's ringing noise show that the carbon fiber material, silver blade corresponding CCW (counterclockwise ) motor, the black blade correspond to the CW (clockwise), you know oar wing play in the water resistance is very big, if it is plastic paddle early fold. Everyone is worried about what to do with motor rotor part of the exposed, actually this part is not afraid of water, the rest to waterproof with respect to OK.



Except the normal play, the original waterproof on the device is one of the highlights, remote control factory default dedicated channels, only need to put on the device installed can easily by remote control, without setting, the maximum load in 1 kg, playability is extremely high, if necessary with a foam life buoy is also no problem.


You still use the rope tied, with glue to put the things into drone?On the function to try this easy!




Compared to the fuselage, gimbal’s waterproof difficulty bigger, like elves complex gimbal system is never count, splash drone, although only two axis, but it remained stable without any pressure from test images. Motor and shaft arm with corrosion of metal material, but gimbal line is freedom, so it is easy to each other, and start the gimbal always can't find the right open position, need you twist it

See the familiar waterproof box, everybody knew that can hang a gopro, users can buy the original ZERO aerial camera motion, the official price to 899 RMB, a lot cheaper than the gopro and performance is also good , also can control the switch of aerial ZERO the movement of camera and video, the gopro can't do it.



Opend the cover of the drone ,mainly is the camera, haeundae and yuntai control module, structure is simple and the identification of the interface is very clear.


What battery in such a heavy four axis? Original 5200 mah / 4 s / 14.8 V / 25 c lipo battery, normally install aerial system can fly around 16 minutes, the battery life can only say that in general, the original of the official price is 599 RMB. But the benefits of using common lipo battery is free to choose different brand and capacity. As long as volume allowed, standard market banana, balance charger is suit.

It is worth noting that common lipo battery pack must use the balance charger to charge, to ensure that all batteries charging rate, voltage stability, extend battery life. Intelligent battery is to balance filling into the cells of the battery, volume a bit bigger.

The radio controller has many rod, but in addition to the positive pole, other temporary are standby channel, GPS mode/atti mode/rth mode such as flight mode, the camera state, etc can be a key switch, shifter lever switch "pattering" very feeling.

under the radio controller has a small electronic screen, the swappable content shows the current all kinds of flight data, the independent design, easy to understand its flight， but hand separate from the flight data and figure there are advantages and disadvantages, after all, both two screens is a bit of trouble.

The gimbal lever practice arrangement in the bottom of the radio controller, fixed position corresponding to the fixed posture. if gimbal crazy tremble , will pay attention to whether the location of the shifter lever in gimbal overload.


The figure passed by the analog signal transmission to the original display, without mobile phone or tablet mobile devices, the size of the display and imaging are satisfactory, even in water is also stable , and equipped with a hood,the ointment is too heavy.Long press open the power supply, then can search signal.(trip: you can use the camera tripod)

If abandon bulky display, splash drone provides a receiver ground station ,by using bluetooth connection with dedicated APP, can be realized decide a dot, follow and other functions, even can set the flight path, the arrangement to let the heavy display hear to delighted.

Operating experience, flight experience, the performance of the splash drone.Of course, waterproof drone is the big selling point,And the waterproof feature is amazing,although the function is simple, splash drone very high playability.
Splash Drone has three version,RTF version 1099$,SAR vresion 1399$,AUTO version 1599$
welcome to the future,welcome to the splash drone.
