As one of the designers and manufacturing partner of the SwellPro Splash Drone 3, I traveled to Shenzhen, China to show you how the Splash Drone 3 is made and show you the people that make the Splash Drone. The Splash Drone 3 is the only waterproof drone in the market capable of landing and floating on water, seeing under water from the surfice and flying in the rain. It made out of ABS material so it has one of the most durable and strong body when comparing it to other drones. The Splash Drone 3 is equipped with a payload release system designed to drop a payload of up to 2 pounds. This gives the user the ability to drop a bait on top of fish or a life flotation device on a swimmer in distress. This waterproof drone is used by many professional organizations to assist them in first response operations. Boaters and drone enthusiasts also use the Splash Drone 3 to capture 4K quality video and pictures of their adventures.

I ve nothing but respect for the hard working people of China 🇨🇳

[@FlyersDistrict]

I hear ya

[@lijhay2889]

Yes other people hate china but they are using items from china and playing games from china lol

[@Mooseanonymous]

they don"t really have a choice tho lol but you are right they do a lot of work for a very small amount of pay

[@piercer4882]

Yeah those teenagers were doing a great job!

[@uffeman76]

Hooray for Communism...

[@FlyersDistrict]

Check out the my other “Inside” drone factory videos and what happened when I got lost in China.

Alex Edit i like to start a drone company. Please suggest me something

[@denzel387]

[@Aw4yed]

amazing ty for this video

[@sennsir]

Alex Edit awesome video! Thanks for giving us an insight on how things run 👏👏

[@wizzardofwizzards]

Working a half hour at each assembly station is a novel approach to learning and evaluating a factory and its products and seems most insightful. Superbly well done!

[@FlyersDistrict]

I learned a lot. Thanks

[@larrymcintyre4407]

Excellent video. Very informative and well edited. As good as anything produced by the big boys. (60 Minutes, 48 Hours etc) Keep them coming.

[@FlyersDistrict]

Larry McIntyre thanks man! 👍 spread the word 😁

[@bryanbryant9962]

That was very interesting! Shenzhen certainly provides an environment optimized for creating and producing drones and all kinds of products. Thanks to the drone company for letting you show us how they do it!

[@KGFlyer55]

Absolutely great video, always wanted to see the manufacturing process, congratulations and best luck on your venture !

[@FlyersDistrict]

KGFlyer55 thank you

Awesome work you've done mate, great to finally see how our lovely are made!!! And a big shout to all those workers that do it every single day

[@NUXLOO505]

A very informative video of how these drones are made. And the effort that goes into making them fascinating.

[@xjet]

Great vid Alex... love the info, the editing and the format.

Great video!!! Thanks, also it was really nice of them to let you work at the stations!

[@BadWallaby]

thank you so much for making these videos! So cool to see the manufacturing side of China that we dont normally get to see!

[@aonutube]

12:39 The most efficient manufacturing, and the dress code for work is also awesome XD

[@JarcodeRover]

These short docu styled video's are very nice to watch Alex! I would love to see you doing this with other RC factory's all over the world :D. I get more and more respect for the "made in China" labels on my stuff now.. :D

[@ShaunHusain]

Dope edits cool intro some fresh info.... Can't complain at all, great job!

[@OutdoorsIQ]

Wow, I didn't realise this was your business until I googled. Great work, what a success!

[@carlosdelrio7908]

Better and more clear than a NATGEO or Discovery video, just what I wanted to see. This was my first video from you. No I just have subscribed. Thank you so much.

[@jjmdavo]

That was really cool of them to let you walk around and show everything plus handle all their stuff ...great vid mate cheers

[@FlyersDistrict]

jjmdavo thanks man.

[@panther105]

[@MARTiALYOU]

Alex Edit, great work sir. Nice job with the camera, getting b-roll and editing.

[@edrosenberger6947]

This was another excellent report. I am so impressed with China's factories and their quality output now.....

[@Guoenyi]

This is only an assembly and packaging plant tho. The plants for the actual parts would look way more teched out than this...

[@m1rv9n41v5]

I love how you walk around like a boss

[@KTHKUHNKK]

Beyond excellent. Hats off to all the hard workers in China. Superb video keep up the good work.

[@qiuqiang49]

[@Koymakad]

Great inforamtion, and nice video , thank u so much dear

[@BubbaCZekLP]

Flying with a DJI product at a swellpro factory:D

[@FlyersDistrict]

the drone used on this video is a mavic

[@ol-man-duffyj688]

Which to be clear is a DJI Mavic Pro. 😀.

[@z3alth919]

Who’s the manufacturer need a link

[@107honda]

Wow what an awesome video !!! Great work!!!

[@FlyersDistrict]

Russell Kegler thanks

[@kingdomgenerals4155]

This is the coolest thing I've ever seen

[@Terranova40]

Thanks for the video, it took me back to China for a moment

[@GrinsInc]

Thanks for posting

[@clementrodrigue]

I'm from Quebec City. -- After all -- Finally someone who knows how to make a good video of information. I was very surprised by the open-mindedness of the Chinese. You deserve special congratulations. These now rare to see such a patient person. The time one gives on one thing, necessarily brings a comparable quality. Today, information is produced in the manner of a speed racer. In greater quantity and faster than possible. Obviously, quality is not. I thank you for taking the time to get the right information - in the right place - and to have taken the time to achieve something really good 👍

[@djericanthony]

Cool vlog! Thanks for sharing man!

[@jphillips5346]

That was a really cool tour

[@normanmyszynski4072]

Great video I really enjoyed the tour. I now fully understand what it means to live in China.

[@dominicandroneracing7053]

Cool video Alex. Me gusto mucho la parte de Matrix haaahahajaha

[@marcopolo1948]

Great video, thanks!

[@Mk4Thumper]

Great video and awesome job pursuing your dream! ShenZhen should be a model for other cities to follow if they want to bring back manufacturing. They actively decided that they wanted to do this and they removed all the red tape and created incentives to bring factories and it worked.

[@FlyersDistrict]

Mk4Thumper I saw that first hand. They wanted to give people mobility and implemented bikes on every corner in 12 months

[@moisesnm]

Thanks man, good job on this video.

[@FlyersDistrict]

Moises Morales 👍

[@harumipena]

Alex awesome Job!!!!

[@views-pm8jn]

what ever spare parts you need here everything you want is ready for you ❤

[@sarahvenus883]

The matrix Clip...cool..Thanks great to see what it takes to make a Drones...x

[@quasarquads1037]

I like how you referred to it as manufacturing network.. that's exactly where their strength lies.

[@ModellbautechnikSalzkammergut]

Good movie, please make more of them!!!

[@KopetePanda]

quality content, love it

[@thecorbies]

Hi Alex. Excellent video. As an apprenticed engineer (in the very early 70's), I think I can say with some certainty that at least part of the reason why the British motorcycle, and later, the British car industry went into decline was because of a 'different' approach to manufacturing by certain other countries. Japan, China, Malaysia to name but a few. We, Britain, mainly because we were cash rich, were very wasteful of resources and materials. A drawing would call for say, 200 parts and the first operation (e.g. cutting the raw stock) might cut 250 - knowing that some of these would never make it through the entire manufacturing process. After perhaps another 4 - 6 process, and then QC 220 products might have made it. So, the originally required 200 + the other 20 good ones might be offered to the client, and most likely they would all be shipped out. The ones that didn't make it, would just be sold for scrap. Sounds straight forward eh? The significant difference being that those other countries valued their resources far more than we ever did. They simply couldn't afford to be blase. From the original numbers off 200 required, maybe 205 would be cut, and most likely, due to far more strict production operations (penalties for mistakes, threats of job loss etc.) probably 202 would survive. The 'extra' 2 would be GIVEN to the client, and the 3 'mistakes' would be scrapped. Look at the numbers. The 'other countries' wastage is approximately only 15% of the British company's, AND the client got a bonus of 2% FREE thereby engendering faith and confidence in that company. When I say Britain, I actually mean a quite a number of western countries inc' USA. 'We' were either slow to respond, ignorant of what was happening (at a managerial level) or more likely pretended that it just wasn't the case, and consequently the other countries won out; and now much of the manufacturing has gone. In some cases, possibly forever. We went the way of the Dinosaur etc. So, it follows that China and the other countries will have/are having their day, but ultimately they will succumb to a similar fate - unless they can adapt, and stay adapting. Sorry that this is such a long comment; I don't normally get on my soap box this to this extent, but like they say, acknowledging the problem is the first step to solving it. 50yrs too late you say? Perhaps, but better late than never? As a result of the above, I have become an 'artisan engineer', who can do things that many others can't, either because of cost, or more likely because the skills have been lost/forgotten; and all this within my own lifetime. Regards Mark in the UK

[@DroneScan]

interesting video thanks for sharing , and an entertaining edit too!

[@droneservicesystems2301]

Awesome Alex !!!

[@harrywensel2426]

[@johnharvey7595]

Very interesting video! Thank you!

[@sorianosn]

Awesome video, I love the Intro inside a drone factory in China, what video software do you use?

[@WX4CB]

nice video as usual

[@Mad.Croatian]

First and here before viral! Great vid!

[@ChunkyMonkaayyy]

When they say manufacturing will be back in the US, they're referring to automation factories. They'll beat import taxes that way and say "it's made in the US".

[@markthompson6845]

Wonderful video.

[@FlyersDistrict]

Mark Thompson thank you

[@shoppingguru4658]

Great video!

[@dreamkinetics941]

Nice drone..... I love this

[@robertroxburgh8630]

absolutely fantastic video .

[@FlyersDistrict]

robert roxburgh alsolutelly awesome comment 👌🏼

[@Leonards_life]

Not sure about electronics sale places in China, but when I was in the Navy, and in Japan the electronics components and modules were sold in about a 4 block square shopping area. Simply amazing what all was there,

[@FlyersDistrict]

adinserter very cool

[@muhammedajmal2001]

Excellent job friend. I like your videos. Wishes from INDIA

[@martinlaptop5622]

Very interesting video thank you for sharing 👍🏻😀

Cool video!

[@pichardo2227]

Interesting factory! great video!! 👍

[@FlyersDistrict]

Entertainment on the road thanks

[@josephjolly1936]

Nice video, thanks for letting me tag along.

[@jagstang2100]

Awesome video. That dude checking props out with no body or face protection!! Look out

[@regmartin688]

Great video.

[@cortesglen5498]

I hope soon. I can work factory like that and learn how to make a drone.

[@aloishis89]

Love the kid testing for prop balance wearing no shoes, no safety glasses, and running a possibly unstable prop at neck height as fast as it'll go lol.

[@Guoenyi]

I would run that whole thing in an acrylic box with a lid..... the kid got balls hahaha

[@bisbi7523]

Tnank you for video.

[@krypter123]

Cool video, thanks for sharing Alex. I always love to see the human element behind innovation. Pretty loose looking place to work. I can't believe the lack of safety in general. Prop vibration testing with no eye glasses, sitting on the floor. End of line testing in shorts and a t shirt 5 feet away from the quad. To each their own, maybe that's why China has manufacturing on lock? Here in the USA, OSHA would go hard after them. Regardless, really cool though. Thanks again for sharing.

[@TheMessenger212]

Are these drones affordable if you know how can i get my hands on one?

[@CaribbeanZapatta]

Alex great video thank you so so much ! SWELLPRO is my absolute favorite quad, especially the Swift 2, amaqzing. perfectly balanced, so nice. I have been waiting for the waterproof racer ? AGILE ? Did you see any in the factory ? Do you have any video of the Swift 2 factory ?? Again, thank you...

[@TheMessenger212]

I heard these are affordable please tell me where can i get one if you know please

[@zitongzhan4904]

Although I currently live in Beijing, I haven't got to ShenZhen before. I really like your video which reveal the manufacture of these drones. I think factors like this isn't cannot grantee their products' quality because I think they're always trying to lower the cost and the worker there even don't have proper education.

[@muridbaruTV]

Good job sir,I like your video
