The design is complete with floating capabilities and can be used in all weather conditions including rain and snow. All of the parts in this drone are corrosion resistant and designed to be used in marine environments. SwellPro is known for making high-quality waterproof drones and is one of the only places you can purchase one.

Take this drone with you anywhere. The Splash Drone 3 will thrive on lakes, oceans, and rivers. If you love to spend your days on the waters, you will have a lot of fun exploring with this drone. Likewise, if you enjoy taking to the snowy mountains this drone will be a blast in the frigid temperatures.

Stable flying with the SwellPro S3:

The new S3 flight controller comes with new sensors that allow for greater sensitivity and accuracy than most other drones. You will be able to fly safely and smoothly with more confidence in the water and in rain or snow. This controller is always checking for errors and offers redundancy to improve flight stability.

Another feature that is great for stable and easy flying is the dual-mode GPS. This locks onto 24 satellites from the GPS and GLONASS systems for improved accuracy and speed of positioning.

There are also many intelligent flight modes that allow for safe and stable flying. Most flight modes reduce manual input from the pilot making it even easier to fly. Follow Me mode makes for the drone to constantly follow and turn towards you as you move. Mission planning is a unique feature that allows you to select waypoints on a map and the Splash Drone 3 will execute the path.

There are also multiple protection features in Splash Drone 3. If the signal is lost, the drone will return to its starting point and land gently. You can also touch the Return to Home button and have your drone land safely. Also, if the battery voltage reaches warning levels you will be notified. The S3 will autoland itself as well if the battery is almost completely drained.

Our final thought on the SwellPro Splash Drone 3:

This is the best drone for you to take out on the waters with you. It’s expensive being priced at $1,119 and expensive add-ons, but the quality of this drone makes it worth its price. The durable waterproof frame and amazing flight modes will make you want to buy this drone.

The only setback with this drone is that you have to buy a lot of extra accessories to use this drone to its full potential. However, if you can afford to make the purchase it’s highly recommended for an outstanding drone experience.

If you love spending your days on the beach, near the river, at the lake, or in the mountains this is a great drone for anyone with an adventurous spirit who loves to explore. It’s great for fishing, photos and videos, and can be fun to use while boating.
