DRONE FISHING TORTURE TEST - Waterproof SwellPro SPLASHDRONE 3+ (Fishing & Crashing) 🎣🔥😂

[@MADTINKER7690]

You deserve more viewers. This is a proffesional Channel

[@JackG79]

You ain't kidding it is... how these tech reviews get millions of subs for playing on a laptop or cell phone... and the amount of work in these videos... this guy deserves a much more vast audience. Hard work, in depth, amazing scenery, sincere love for the hobby. I know that is capitalism. But I really hope his audience expands to what he deserves.

[@super.saigon]

Drones, fishing, Hawaii... How are you not living the dream.

[@grahammaclean5024]

This gives a whole new meaning to Fly Fishing!

[@DustinDunnill]

👌

[@dronealone5651]

Neat...Adding 2 of my fav hobby's together.

[@upperechelon3456]

Another top notch video Dustin. I see you are combining two of my favorite Hobbies. Droning and fishing. I say its a match made in heaven. LOL. In all actuality this isn't a bad idea. A water proof platform takes tremendous worry from any one who regularly flies over water and engages in water sports. It can offer a viable concept for fishing particularly when your going for fish in hard to reach estuaries or along salt water marshes and other hard to cast places. In addition to pure surf fishing, we fish for Red and Black drum off the coast of north east Florida and I can tell you one thing - casting from shore can be a bitch due to the total weight of the lead, hooks [2 aught] and bait [huge chunks of crab]. Its a mute issue if you use a boat, of course, but that's an additional hassle [even if you own one]. With this set up precision casting can be a breeze - not to mention enjoying two past times at once. As far as the price - I think it could be a little lower [who wouldn't] but considering it is a truly waterproof drone it may well be worth the price. Again great video. Cheers.

[@robertmedlin9145]

Absolutely love this channel!!

[@keeplifefishing5296]

Awesome vids bro !!! Great job !!!

[@bigeyetuna6228]

Oh my god, hit above level again, I just enjoy this kinda stuff like nobody else, this drone brings out the best of you, the last intro was ridiculously great, 3oc is lot of weight, please do more of these, go big island, Kona style, for this kinda fishing video maybe use 2 drones.... just so cool, been a fan for a long, long time, thank you...💚🍀

[@jcgreenenergybusiness8315]

wuoo great fishing video with a drone. putting it under water top it. Quick question, did you do any special cleaning after submerge in it under water?

[@MrJdubb104]

Hey Dustin, Thanks for all the Awesome videos Bro... Especially the range tests

[@OneAdvane]

Hey, can you bring back the live streams? They were awesome!

[@Georgewrigley]

Wow Dustin. Great action video. Awesome drone- this would be ideal here in the UK 🇬🇧. Due to our rain ☔️ ha ha. Great watching you fish too. Cheers buddy 😊👍✈️

[@randindragonheart4558]

"woah, look!" @ 9:04 - I know you're talking about the bait, but there just happens to be a lady in a thong on the edge of the screen right at that exact moment XD

[@mrguitman99]

THis was great. Awesome set up for fishing. I was so excited to see you cath something, but you will in the next one. Great Video!

[@islandfantasy5931]

My brother and I use a light setup to dunk or slide bait. We have 2 spinning reels on 2 14 ft ugly sticks for small GTs. Now with this drone we can switch to a heavier setup and drop the line without casting aka burning our thumbs lol. Thanks for the reviews.

[@flytown9853]

Now that's what I call really high tech fishing, my use of a cane pole with worm bait seems so old fashion today...!

[@whome7004]

But it works just as good and couple thousand dollars less. I love fishing with what we call a jurk pole. Sees like people these days try Makeing every thing calst so much more then the regular simple why you were happy if you had time to slip down to the river farm pond Bank fishing Piggy bank fishing is just alright for me. Have Blessed summer night

[@markjennings2315]

Hi Dustin. When nothing is caught, you could try attaching the drone with the slider line and fly back out and above so the hooks won’t drag and catch but instead be lifted vertically, then fly back and reel it in stages back to the beach.

[@DustinDunnill]

Great idea Mark 👍🍻

[@darrenhanson3875]

That was fun going fishing with you! It was like I was right there with you! Should have brought the sub with you that way you could have sent it out and see what kind of fish are hanging around out there!

[@DustinDunnill]

Great idea Darren. Maybe I'll bring a sub next time 👍

[@OmegaPrecept]

"I think the hook is on the rock" Lol so funny I don't know how many times I have said that.

[@8o8BBOY]

Try scenic on the left side, deepest part & high enough to slide. Theres a nice flare area where can launch. Been meaning to try it out but haven't had the time. Maybe link up one time & try it out.

[@DustinDunnill]

Right on. Maybe next time 🤙🐙🍻

[@redtikiproductions]

Love your content my man! You have shown me some great ways to fly and just good info to know as a new drone pilot.

[@tonyvetter8056]

Dustin I would like a little help... On my monitor of the SD 3+ there in an octagonal shape red image.. My question is: What does that mean and what do I do about it. Thanks in advance of any information. Tony.

[@808AppleJacks]

Great vid man. Hopefully you get action next time. Is the penn squall you got any good? Looking to get a new setup.

[@DustinDunnill]

This was the first time I used the squall. Seemed solid and I like the looks/design.

[@meikadunnill6738]

cheehoo! nex time we gon catch all da pesky buggaz!! mayjah respect fo’ da hustle brah, keep um up!🤙🏽🐟

[@DustinDunnill]

🐙

[@bobhawkey3783]

That is a very cool drone! I had never heard of it! So interesting. Thanks for this.

[@xlawz16]

Maybe try a float rig instead of a dunk when fishing straight from the drone. At least you’ll have an indicator when fish on.

[@DustinDunnill]

Good idea 🍻

[@xzile8492]

So I have this drone and I’m using the same camera that you were using (the fishing one) and it was super hazy. Any suggestions on how to fix it

[@petercasey9691]

Never seen fly fishing done like that before😉👍

[@whitefox9]

DON'T BE A MORON THAT'S CALLED SURF FISHING FLY FISHING IS NOT EVEN CLOSE

[@petercasey9691]

It was a just a joke. Some people so touchy.....

[@kenappleby8481]

Drone fishing, love it!!!

[@tomkovax7178]

If you use a thing called a grip lead. You won't have issues with wasting sinkers. Also, get a boogy board, cut some square small pieces off it and attach it to your line that has the hook, that way your bait floats up off the rocks.

[@AUrbanovicz]

Perfect fishing!🎣🐟👌🏻😁👍🏻

[@Gossamer2]

Hey Dustin! You might have tried hooking the drone on the line and send it down to see if it could have pulled the hook directly upwards or even backwards to free it.

[@DustinDunnill]

You guys have some great ideas in the comments. All to keep in mind for future fishing in this series 👍

[@FoFrx]

Awesome video Dustin. Better luck next time.

[@Brandon96819]

Howzit Dustin Dunnill, just got me one of these drones. Was wondering if you had a problem with the bait release, like not opening all the way or not opening and closing at all?

[@DustinDunnill]

Hey. No never had that issue but it sounds like you just need to re seat the servo arm in the right location on servo gear teeth 🤙

[@Brandon96819]

Mahalo dustin, will check it out

[@ahmadalghali90]

are you my long lost brother? I’m in love with drones and fishing haha

[@matthewdowning6344]

You are one lucky so and so to be able to do this. What beach were you fishing off? Looks fantastic. What weight will the drone lift by the way?

[@DustinDunnill]

It will lift about a pound or so👍

[@siekingliangkingliang1803]

Good job 👍👍👍👍 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣

[@Usatorok]

Love to see your subs increasing. Great job! Oh ya, have fun cleaning the RC. Do the other people on the beach seam to care about you droning?

[@zuperzoniko6365]

Yes! Didn't you hear all the natives chanting insults and throwing spears at him throughout the whole video?

[@PunaBeachboy]

Aloha Dustin, Love you videos brother. Do have an old soft top longboard? Easily converted to fishing vessel to get you off shore away from da reefs that snag regularly. Ula fishing at night on a full moon on a long board rigged for fishing is a blast!

[@DustinDunnill]

Whoa! Sounds like fun. Hooking one big ulua on a longboard and it pulling you around must be wild! 😂🤙

[@KaneLono]

had a strong feeling i wasn't going to see a fish on this one. better luck next time.

[@AUrbanovicz]

More about FISHING please! With drone & standard surf/beach casting (ocean). Best Regards & thanks!😉🤝🎣👍🏻

[@DustinDunnill]

👌

[@pmb187]

Use a steel leader on a swivel with a bobber the kind with a long white spike on it so you can see when a fish is hitting on your bait.....you'll have better luck knowing when you're getting a hit......good luck buddy.....!!!!

[@tornadokat]

Idea on snagged line:: tie line onto drone and have the drone go pull the line away from where it is stuck then up out of the water?

[@tornadokat]

PS: 20.7805525,-156.5216047?

[@johnhawkk]

Well that’s a half hour I’ll never get back.

[@whome7004]

My Gosh I think your going after Jaws . Its a really cool concept and Idea. The the Sellpro as good of a drone as Say DJI Quolit ? I'm sure it wins out on dilling with moster!

[@roelandansems6411]

Love the fishing tips and video. How do you find the quality of the PL3 camera footage over water looking down at the fishing action? Could picture clarity be improved by using Polarising filter on the camera? Do you know if they are available anywhere as an add on? Waterproof screw on type filter would be need to maintain integrity of the package I guess. Keep up the good work!

[@DustinDunnill]

I'm not sure on the polarized add on but the quality is average compare to other drones. At least the equipment is waterproof I guess ✌️.

[@hoverbotfpv1425]

5 hooks and a swinging weight what could go wrong? LOL! Great adventure. $1000 dollar bobber I would paint bottom half red.

[@rockinrowdy13]

Drone phishing lol..I love fresh water fishing for large mouth bass..I really need one of those "quick releases" for my BeBop lol how cool would that be to be able to drop the bait precisely where you want it!

[@Icantdrive55]

You need to rig up a remote control Spear to one of your submarines! Lol. Great video as usual. Wish I was there. I love Maui. 🤙

[@DustinDunnill]

That would be cool 👍

[@johnhutchinson5398]

What type of drone are you using dude. ?

[@BBooka]

Good tool for fishing to get better range. But a little dangerous if string gets into propellers. (Y)

[@miguelluciano8396]

How much did the drone cost with the release mechanism

[@OmegaPrecept]

I love the uncle to come check on you and your line talking story :) So Hawaiian

[@Aaronzzzzz]

hey dustin, how long have you had the splash drone 3+ and how has it been treating you? any problems?

[@navidecktheraptorboatcompany]

You are quite a technician Sir ........... regards from The canary Islands ......... the hawaii of the atlantic

[@fireislandmavic5939]

wow my hero, super cool

[@dronereviewman9580]

Love the channel!!! 👍😀👍

[@marcishikawa3227]

You should make more videos like that. Keep up the good work.

[@DustinDunnill]

Thanks Marc. I will be doing these in an ongoing series 👍

[@MrOutfishin7]

Great video! Man I miss Hawaii. Bubble float in front of the ika will keep it out of the rocks, the fish will come up and get it dont worry. We use to clean up on Weke and squirrelfish and sometimes white eel like that

[@brentbillig5864]

Its been a year now. Please let me know how your drone has held up. Thinking of buying one soon but can not get any reviews on it.

[@manuelstarr3602]

Oh..the drone is great, it does everything it is supposed to and more....if I wasn't so poor I would get one in a flash.

[@Thunderbyrd.]

You can always move in with Dustin and I'm sure he would let you fly all of the drones you want.

[@jordanmalubay9004]

Does the charger stop when battery is completely charged? What Volts should it be?

[@DustinDunnill]

Yes. Google: LiHV 4s changed voltage ✌️

[@brad-hall]

I would love to see some drone fishing from Hawea Point!

[@zuperzoniko6365]

Nah brah! That Point is bad I tell ya.

[@buffLuna1]

Did you order your drone from Amazon or straight from swell pro?

[@DustinDunnill]

Swellpro 🤙

[@MongoDAoC]

How do you feel after about a year of using this product?

[@DustinDunnill]

Keep it clean and washed. Don't let it sit even with fresh water in motors. Fly it after rinsing until it's all fully dry before storing. Otherwise motors will start failing 🍻

[@MongoDAoC]

@@DustinDunnill So you like it? still recommend it? Thanks!

[@DustinDunnill]

Only if you NEED a waterproof drone or for fishing to haul bait out. 🍻

[@buffLuna1]

Aloha, did you have any trouble shipping the drone to maui? I just ordered one off of Amazon.

[@DustinDunnill]

Amazon always has issues shipping to Hawaii. If so, order directly from swellpro or a US dealer 🍻

[@JPLseafood]

where did you get your bell from?

[@discoveringwa2204]

Hey Dustin, great review of the drone, pity you don't really know much about fishing. You don't adjust the drag like that, that is how you set it. The lever is for adjusting it while fishing.

[@markpugh89]

great vids as usual dude

[@johnevans737]

Maybe this was already answered but why don't you put the camera underwater so you can see the fish every small pro video I've seen they get the camera under the water and it works well you would see the fish then or how about this use a bobber a lot of people use those or how about those little things you tie the line so you can see them jump they look like flys . just wondering

[@readyteo9366]

Amazing experience was there to see

[@DustinDunnill]

Was cool meeting you dude. Thanks for not photo bombing my vid 😂🤙

[@markgreene9330]

Good try fishing , it happens . Graet video , Hawaii looks like one check of a place to live . Better luck next time . I haven't seen a video of yours in a few , great ideas there just wasn't anything biting that day ...I've got a question you might be able to help me with , if you can ? I bought a H501S and was tinkering with the 5.8 frequency . I didn't look first to see what the factory number was , if you still have one could you let me know ? And what does the yes or no mean below it ? I've looked everywhere on line to no avail . If you can help me I would greatly appreciate it ....Thank You .....

[@DustinDunnill]

Hey Mark. I've given away or sold my H501's. You should be able to try all the channels and lock back on to the FPV the drone is transmitting. "Yes" should mean to confirm channel frequency change I believe.

[@markgreene9330]

@@DustinDunnill thanks a lot , just wasn't sure . I installed the long range antennas , and some frequencies are a lot worse . I think its WiFi interferriance . but , thanks for the feed back ....better luck fishing next time ....

[@nickdronesphotography4643]

does this drone come with the release mechanism as standard? would really like to try this to drop my lure out far lol :)

[@DustinDunnill]

It's got different configurations levels 🍻

[@alexandermiller5034]

Yo u know u could use the drone to carry your rods line farther out, and then drop it with the clamp..

[@miguelluciano8396]

Where did you buy it

[@dronevideotravel7518]

Excellent 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ethannf502]

This is so cool! This is beautiful

[@jaafarzaidi3390]

Awesome!!

[@originaljunglejohnny]

If you want to fish directly from the drone you would probably need a bungee cord between the drone and the line to set the hook

[@TheWebstaff]

Yeah you should have striked at that fish at the end of the video. But can't wait to see the next one. One thing to try seeing as you have the drone it lure fishing so get a jig and use the drone to drag it round like a fish swimming.

[@joecarnes9174]

Looked like he was using a circle hook, you don't do a traditional hook set. Just slow steady reeling, if you just jerk it like you would bass fishing your likely to just pull the bait outta the fishes mouth.

[@DustinDunnill]

I think by the time I was getting the bite the entire rig or other larger hook/line was in the rock but I think I should have tried your right. Next time 👍

[@simon_wlz539]

Nice video

[@justinbasilio8594]

HOW do you turn the camera on?

[@OverlandAfrica]

Hi please do a drone fishing vid with the mavic pro

[@theloganpresley]

That's a terrified fish

[@konaboi1845]

Do you know if splashdrone 3+ have a remote id

[@DustinDunnill]

It does not 🍻🤙

[@lauronal3]

Aloha I was wondering when flying a drone on a public beach day or night is there any permits or legal stuff I have to get or something dealing with the FAA lmk mahalo.

[@DustinDunnill]

Just use common sense and respect others trying to enjoy the beach. Unless you see a sign or there is a local ordinance, there is nothing stopping you. I rarely fly if there are people around close enough to see or hear it and it's been working very well. 👍

[@randysergent4084]

I need the Drone information because I want one just like yours

[@DustinDunnill]

Check description under video 🍻

[@str8channel]

Drone catching torture test! 😁 just doesn't say the same thing..😎🤟 peace brother

[@HendroJoyo]

Wow amazing...🤙

[@joelstanhope7231]

Should have attached a bobber 10 ft from drone then when something grabbed you would see the bobber dunk

[@tundrawhisperer4821]

Is there any type of hook mechanism for a Mavic 2 Pro? Thx

[@DustinDunnill]

Yes, I've seen a remote drop you can clip on.

[@tundrawhisperer4821]

Dustin Dunnill, REALLY!? Any idea where to find or get them? Also, any idea how many grams of weight that Mavic will lift? Thx again.

[@DustinDunnill]

Maybe it was for the pro 1 but it seemed like it would fit the pro 2 also. Try searching Google for Mavic pro remote drop device and lots should show up.

[@LeBurkaTron]

Are they lead weights you're leaving in the coral XD.

[@Gossamer2]

We need "More Cowbell"!

[@DustinDunnill]

😂👊

[@oliverw782]

I got a fever. AND THE ONLY PERSCRIPTION IS MORE COWBELL!

[@541beausham]

Wouldn't you see it jerk around If a fish hit it

[@manuelstarr3602]

Hey Dustin, I think the hooks you are using are too big....remember you can catch a big fish on a small hook...but you can't get a small fish on a big hook. Great video...thank you.

[@laurentlebreton5569]

Hi, can you please describe rrod and reel? Thanks and regards from Corsica

[@DustinDunnill]

I think I linked the gear in description 🍻

[@starwind3651]

Hey just stumbled onto your video today while searching info on Splashdrone3+ Right now Im using Mavic2pro for fishing and I'm planning to upgrade my gear to Splashdrone3+ or Phantom4 2.0 My choice is the Splashdrone but my concern is flight-time. Splashs advertized time is 20min but I expect it more like 15~18min or even less since I use heavy live bait. Yet the waterproof is too good for me to abandon. I'm having trouble making a decision. I need help.

[@DustinDunnill]

Your timing estimation is about right. You really only need a couple of minutes to take bait out anyway. It can carry a lot and does the job with piece of mind that it's waterproof. Not nearly as advance as DJI but it has it's strengths 🍻

[@starwind3651]

@@DustinDunnill Thanks for the fast comment, I've made my mind. Splashdrone it is then! Just gonna have to carry a lot of extra batteries. 5200mah yet under 20min is pretty disappointing.. At least it has auto-discharge for longtime unusage does it?

[@DustinDunnill]

You can storage charge the batteries with supplied charger (about half charge) if you're not going to be flying for a while 🍻. Really flush motors and camera with fresh water if you dunk it in salt water. Then fly until dry for longevity 👍

[@nathangreen6286]

Couda just picture a wave taking the drone out lol

[@SparkflyJEF]

first time i've seen swellpro for fishing hehehe
