Details
The Fisherman FD1 is a purpose-built waterproof fishing drone for fishermen. It a simplified version of the SplashDrone 3+, with fewer features to keep costs low. The drone has a strong propulsion system, allowing it to lift heavier baits and fly stably in windy conditions.
Dedicated for Drone Fishing, Fisherman FD1 eliminated features not needed for drone fishing. Special algorithms ensure stable flight with heavy baits. Advantages include 2kg bait capacity, up to 5 drops per charge, and 28-minute flight time. High-torque motors lift 2kg baits, increasing fishing success.
FD1 has a 1.6 km (1 mile) casting range. Its rugged body is made of marine-grade ABS, ensuring it can withstand lifting weights without cracking. The propellers are made of carbon fiber for high stiffness.
The IP6Z waterproof aircraft has a strong propulsion system and corrosion-resistant coating, making it resistant to wind and corrosion. The motors and internal electronics are coated with FD1 for 100% waterproof protection. This allows the aircraft to land on water, take off from water again, and fly safely in salty air and winds up to 20 m/s (38mph).
Heavy on Fishing, Light on Piloting for Solid Stability. Fisherman FD1 features multiple sensors to enhance stability. GPS GLONASS receives up to 11 satellites, maintaining accurate position. Barometer maintains altitude while gyroscope keeps the drone balanced. Any fisherman can fly FD1 like a pro without prior piloting experience.
FD1 Fishing Drone T52 PLI-F PL2-F TS-2 releases bait automatically. Waterproof and remote-controlled, it can adjust angle when striking. Ideal for trolling and blind drops. Real-time video viewing available.
Dual-use GLI FPV screen goggles enable real-time video feed from PL2-F fitted FD1, suitable for on-board display or wearable use for an immersive experience.
