[@DroneSyndrome]

Wow. That thing is super huge. Thanks for showing it to us cap. Another awesome review as always. 😉👍🏻

[@Falasi4]

I've been going through the FAA 107 materials and wondered what they were talking about dropping payloads. This drone makes that relevant!

[@aerialdronevision]

Over the pond here in the U.K. CAA said No to drone dropping payloads, illegal but everyone-ish plays with it or I believe legally use it for fishing line deployment, but I’m guessing that bit.

[@campingwithhuskies]

We drop PFD's (life vests) to victims in water rescue scenarios. It works great! Some other use these drones for dropping fishing lures and bait further out than they can cast.

[@sudburydrone466]

Excellent review on what looks like a complex drone. Control features are crazy cool. Again your videos are a real joy to watch. Production and all the information you provide is top notch. 👍👍✌️🇨🇦

[@rueda82nd]

Definitely unique tool have if your into filming. Looks well made too.

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Really great video

[@ModernDayTemplar606]

Captain I looked at the Camera options and noticed the Camera you have does support Raw. Here is a copy. GC3-S GC2-S GC1-S Waterproof 3-axis 4K camera Capture smooth videos and crisp photos with the new,fully waterproof 4K camera stabilized by a 3-axis gimbal.GC3-S is our flagship gimbal camera. The powerful gimbal remains stable even in water while taking underwater shot. GC3-S now has Pro mode and supports RAW photo. ND filters can also be added for greater creative freedom.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I'm sure the camera does, however the app does not yet have it as an option.

[@chuckmorton5730]

have been flying the Predecessor the Splash drone 3 or a few years now This one has some very nice upgrades. I did get an idea while watching your review and that would be to treat the camera lens with RainX which would probably eliminate the droplet problem. I also fine to keep any wildlife off at 45 degree so s not to scare them. The dolphins and turtles I have encountered are very sensitive to the prop noise.

[@joegraceffo642]

My first thought at Steve's "wiper" comment was also why not try RainX. I believe when applied properly, it should not leave any residue to distort the lens.

[@spikepike42]

Love all the content you supply for us,thanks captain 👍 kind regards from the uk 🙂

[@TomsManShed]

Another great vid Steve....looks really useful for search and rescue with the load drop function and the night cam option....also footage looks some of the crispest and naturally coloured of all the drones you have tested. I think its price is ok as well seeing as its a specialist machine....when I buy my yacht I will get one :)

Lack of photography/videography features to be useful for me in the sense that it's very last generation, but being waterproof is someting no one else is really doing so there is that. I wish they would make a new smaller quieter pro version with a 1" 10bit 4k60 sensor with high bitrate, but that's asking a lot...lol

To land a quad on a boat you need a 2nd person to hold a beach towel open and catch the drone with it. Works great!

does the second person come with the drone or you have to purchase it separately.

So far the drone is amazing for what it is designed for. Nothing else like it on the consumer market. As for after market sales issues, I have not had any so can’t comment.

Hey very niice video Captain Drone. I am in Sarnia Ontario i was the first one to get the SD4 back in June. It is a very nice drone. I have many flights with it. I also have the boat kit and the cam gimbal extension bar and the SD4 backpack to carry the drone in. I have driven the drone with the boat floats on it and i must say it responds very well in boat mode. If you want to see pictures of these accessories let me know you email i will send them to you. Regards Andrew

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thanks Andrew. In a future video I may show the accessories for this drone if time permits.

[@twrmoor]

Hi Capt'n how would you compare the swellpro spry+ to this one? It seems like the spry footage can be shakey? I just want to fly more in blinkin rainy old Wales.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Spry+ is not a drone designed for filming in the hands of a beginner drone pilot. For someone who knows how to film with a drone to obtain pleasing looking footage, then this drone will work. The Splashdrone 4 is designed with a 3axis gimbal and is more fore giving to people with no understanding of filming with a flying camera.

[@thinkingoutproduction7149]

hi sir..i just bought this SD4...how do i want to get live streming from the drone..?

[@Bache.Azra1994]

do we need calibrate every time before we fly for changing our spot clibaration is must ?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Nope. Just the first time you take it out of the box and set it up for the very first flight.

[@krismurphy001]

Picture quality? Great video. I think I like this company's products (except for the price), but I am concerned about the picture quality. They have a fishing version and something that costs $2500+. Does anyone know what the picture quality is for each of their versions? I like how the Captain compared other drones to the Cannon Pro setup.

Thank you so much for showing this drone!! I have a Air 2S with pontoons or foam balls for water landing. I haven't been brave enough to take it out on our boat yet though!! I am thinking I would rather have this drone on our boat!!! Can you give one of these away? LOL

Ce drône est dangereux comme le spl drône 3 je vous le déconseille vous perdrez votre argent !!!

[@taticaldroid9288]

Perhaps they can design a foldable landing pad which can catch the drone on a unstable boat like the one can catch the helicopter on a ship.

[@Swellpro]

In fact, it is very convenient to take off and land on boat. The flight of the drone is very stable. Some people will choose to hold the landing gear by hand. More people can choose to land directly on the water and then take it up.
