FD3 Swellpro Fishing Drone front

Fisherman FD3 is the most easy-to-use and reliable waterproof fishing drone ever made by SwellPro. It consolidates several advantages from its fishing drone siblings: the power-efficiency from FD1, the ease-of-use from SD4, the enhanced safety from Max. Fisherman FD3 comes in 2 versions: the advanced version features a 4K camera video system while the basic version dedicates 100% of its power to carrying baits.

Higher accuracy

Being able to acquire up to 30 satellites, FD3 ensures precise navigation and maintains stable hovering in place. 

Faster Acquisition

With stronger signal reception, FD picks up satellites more quickly than ever and reduces the time required to unlock motors.

Multi-satellite

FD3 can access multiple satellite systems including GPS, GlONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou for better signal quality and accuracy.

Interference-free

Advanced signal processing technology is implemented in the GPS receiver to filter out interference and noise.

IP67 Saltwater-proof

The aircraft of FD3 is entirely sealed, then air-pressure tested and dunk tested to guarantee 100% waterproof. The fulsage is made from marine-grade ABS to increase durability and survivability under great water pressure.

Corrosion-free

The waterproof motors, waterproof bait release and internal electronics of FD3 are coated with corrosion-resistant coating - adding an extra layer of protection against the salty air above the ocean.

Self-Floating Design

We designed FD3 with sufficient buoyancy on the aircraft itself. The drone can keep floating when landing on the water. Then, you can control it to take off again from the water and fly back to the shore.

Automatic Flip

If the FD3 accidentally capsizes in the water, you can use the joysticks to flip it back to its normal position, and take off!

Level 7 Wind Resistance

Thanks to the strong propulsion system and the GPS 9.0, FD3 can maintain a stable position and attitude in winds up to 20 m/s (38mph).

Screw-on Propellers

The threaded propeller mount allows for easy installation and keep the propellers from flying off the fast-spinning motors when the FD3 requires lots of thrust.
