Chasing Dory: An affordable underwater drone

[@CNET]

What's more interesting to you? Underwater or in the air? Check out more drone reviews from CNET here kzbin.info/aero/PLAl4aZK3mRv27_C-mgTiLI3lja_FHvzQh

@dadbot a7m9 no just a pool... yea it can go in sea 🌊 😌

[@john_gyver]

Interesting, but I'm not sure I'd buy it, because at the beginning it'd be 1 or 2 hours of playing with it and having fun, but after that I'd probably get bored with it, and as it's just a toy without any practical use cases (for me) it'd probably regret buying it. One technical suggestion for the manufacturer: Maybe it'd be a good idea to put the battery in that floating Wi-Fi module and make it easily replaceable (e.g. one in use, another one charging). It'd make that drone useful for people who search for stuff underwater more professionally - those search sessions often take hours/days straight.

[@urano4810]

Your first paragraph is me with any "cool" tech

[@TheKodiak72]

If you want to search underwater under a profressional setting. The Deep Trekker DTG3 is the only choice.. This dory is purely a toy, the DTG3 has 8hr battery life, 200meter (~600ft) dive depth. Its a commercial grade drone.

[@wojciechskrzypinski2209]

John, for an angler it's a dream toy. Especially for lakes where it's prohibited to fish from a boat.

[@weirdthings9583]

I feel like if it was much cheaper I would consider buying it, and here where I live it’s and extra $100 USD to purchase.

[@bensondentalassociates8690]

Probably something to do with buoyancy

[@GloriaLopez-jw9vq]

It's a submarine its ment for water dont u see people use it in the sea bruhhhhhhhh

[@weirdthings9583]

Here in Australia its $949.99 Aus dollars (632 USD) which is super expensive. I feel like this is super overpriced considering it only has a 1080p camera and considering that fact that it’s max depth is only 49ft. I’ve always been interested in exploring the ocean and waters but unfortunately the price to do so is a lot of money. I really hope there is a budget one on its way or major price drops.

[@desertweasel6965]

You can get a really nice one for 3000 usd. This little football drone is a good starter drone where you don't have to spend a lot of money and lose the drone.

[@lout3921]

Thanks Surge, I hate when they do that. They can say " At the time of this recording it's $xxx" to future proof the video.

[@CNET]

YO! The price is in the 2nd shot of the video. Chasing Dory underwater drone $499. It's on sale right now though. How could you miss it!

[@sdolo222]

pretty easy to miss but you are right.

[@sosteve9113]

Super cool

[@princesskarolina]

Thank you!

[@GiulianoM14]

This but with a gyro and a better camera. I hope DJI goes this route in the future.

[@walterdowns9978]

Could you use it for ice fishing in the cold water it would be awesome to drill one hole and look around the area to see if there was any fish within its reach

[@Mnfish22]

There are a couple videos out there that do this

[@rsaxtellartist]

If the GPS gives you relative orientation, then a digital compass might not be needed, and maybe a sort of grid screen over the thruster ports to keep out weed and gunk, this would be so versatile. I'll bet the few minor problems you encountered with this model will be addressed in a future model. Good luck!

[@michaelboys2602]

This looks AWESOME!!!! 😀😀😀

[@dmc8921]

$500 is steep for this for me. If it had a better camera and light and SD card slot Id be Happier. The App seemed a bit cruddy and had connection issues with my android phone. I got a waterproof case for an I pad and it works awesome. Chasing did get back to me fast and wanted to help me fix the problem. It would cost more to build your own.

[@Fpvpilot928]

"plays a little pirate tune"??? 🤣🤣🤣 I'm guessing this guy has never used an ESC before. That's the standard tune that any ESC makes (the motors actually) when it connects with the flight controller. I'm a little surprised that they didn't program a new tune in it's place. All that work to design and engineer an underwater drone and they didn't even figure to give it a cool ESC tone.

[@BeautifuLakesStreamsBiologists]

They should be able to improve the impeller design to be more rock friendly

You don't want this thing to be wireless. If it gets stuck in a current or in some seaweed it's gone.

[@rob379lqz]

Wireless? It is wireless. Good luck getting a (wireless) tx / rx to pass the radio signals through 50 feet of water and also air.

[@Asuma492]

@@rob379lqz wireless power.

[@werner.x]

@@Asuma492 It is on wireless power, the battery is in the drone. If you want to control the drone wireless, you need the much lower frequencies of these old RC AM or FM Transmitters, 27, 35, 40 or in your country maybe 70 Mhz. But you then still will be limited to around 5m depth at best. You cannot send these 2.4 ghz frequencies through water. Water absorbs high frequencies fast. If you want to go deeper, you'll need much, much lower frequencies, that means really long antennas, high transmitter power and these frequencies have to be legal too. Since the signals travel far, the'll catch you in no time, if your signals interfere with something important. Physics can only be beaten in film.

[@mateuszminsky5619]

drones in the air don't need to be tethered, and can stabilize themselves in wind.
