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...

[@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!

[@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 😁

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

[@DroneScan]

[@noevilea624]

Good stuff mate you got a new sub.

[@FlyersDistrict]

Thanks M8

[@martinlaptop5622]

Very interesting video thank you for sharing 👍🏻😀

[@ForkYouPresents]

Does anyone know of , or have a link to a tour of the DJI factory ???

[@latanadeglihobby]

hello Flyers District, congratulations great video, I wanted to ask you if by chance you had the opportunity to test the ground station with the swellpro fly app? because i tried but the app doesn't seem to work gray screen

[@regmartin688]

Great video.

[@anunggaming]

nice video, nice info

[@yayathidayat6678]

Did they just assembly the part? Or there is molding section for the shell?

[@muridbaruTV]

Good job sir,I like your video

[@markthompson6845]

Wonderful video.

[@FlyersDistrict]

Mark Thompson thank you

[@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".

[@sorianosn]

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

[@TheSh_dow]

Is it hard to get the autorisations to film in the factory ?

[@LKFMYLF]

good ~ thank you~~

[@josephjolly1936]

Nice video, thanks for letting me tag along.

[@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

[@lotisrudjak7412]

ready🚀

[@quasarquads1037]

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

[@siboneyyy]

Damn son you're really into it, looks like you want to open your own drone factory, don't you? ;-)

[@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

[@asheeraukhez9658]

Whats the cost per drone??

[@gavejoke]

Very nice video

[@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

[@jsflysrc]

Very interesting and informative video. Do workers that handle the PCB and other integrated circuit practice ESD prevention? I noticed you handled the camera board at 6:40 in the video. This may cause electro static damage and now the board is passed on customer.

[@johnwedrall7149]

WOW, thanks for this informative video 👍❗😎 subscribed to your channel.
