SwellPro FISHERMAN MAX (FD2) Flight Test Review in HARD RAIN! - Water Proof?

[@armasf.4062]

Watching a drone fly in the rain... It just feels so wrong haha. Love your long videos Dustin, have been watching for ages now. Keep up the good work and don't change

[@DustinDunnill]

Glad you like them!

[@RealSpitWraith]

​@@DustinDunnillI wanted to say thank you for your review videos about the swellpro fisherman Max fd2. Only thing in your video that you did the rain flight test you said that you were going to post a video doing an autonomous waypoints flight test but I cannot seem to find the video. Can you please direct me to the waypoint flight test video?

[@russellcanderson]

I purchased my first drone after watching one of Dustin 's videos(Mavic pro). Since then I have purchased a Mavic Pro2(my son confiscated, Parrot Disco(crashed into gator filled lake). All inspired by Dustin's videos. I'm due for an update. Thank you Dustin!

[@Blackwater2]

Have your son get the Parrot Drone, he took the Mavic, it’s only right. It’s not like it’s Crocodiles, Alligators are docile. If he’s fast and doesn’t splash around like a baby deer he most probably be ok. If the drone isn’t readily visible hook him up with goggles and a snorkel. If it doesn’t work out, you will be able to buy a new drone without having it taken.

[@johnsonbui]

Stop flying your drone now they start arrest drone operator now 😂😂😂😂

[@FISHH00KS]

I love mine. I've had no issues. This isn't a "photography" drone, it's primarily meant to lift heavy baits. The two releases are important with fish finding rigs. This is an all weather, -0- visibility - nighttime drone that can be completely automated. When programmed and the bait is attached, you can simply slide the "launch" and confirm. The drone will take off, fly to the programmed position, release the bait, return to home, land and lock. I can't think of anything else SwellPro could do. Good luck in attaching 2 separate payloads of dangling fishing line, weights, and bait - Dustin - you should test this and post the video. -Mahalo

[@tylerbrown9602]

Hey Dustin I didn’t see you use the tool to tighten the props. It’s really important you use the tool as there have been instances where customers props have come off in flight. I work for swellpro in the uk.

[@DustinDunnill]

Thanks Tyler, When SwellPro didn't see it in my unboxing they asked me if I got it. I double checked and there it was hiding wrapped in the lanyard bag. I had already shot this and didn't even know one was included. My advice is to not hide it away in the lanyard bag. Change locations for it on the case. I never use lanyards but some people might 🍻

[@bushmanphotos]

nobody uses the tool

[@Georgewrigley]

This drone would be ideal here in the UK 🇬🇧 with our weather ! Great review Dustin. Looking forward to seeing your next test. Lovely home by the way. 👍😊👌 🌧

[@hummerzdca]

Wow had no idea of these, looked up the pricing and not as high as I expected. Great job! Gonna watch the lift and range tests as well. Man! You got skills! A new view on how things are done! Thanks 👍🇺🇸

[@Blackwater2]

What model would be your recommendation traditional Mississippi Delta, black guys in straw hats and overalls, fishing for Catfish?

[@johnsonbui]

What s black guy have to do with it😂😂😂😂😂 im yellow guy here 😂😂😂my suggestion dont fly your drone,they start tracking and arrest drone operators just google the news , bost,and New Jersey 😂😂😂😂

[@Samlol23_drrich]

We don't have to worry about the rain stopping in New York. It rains constantly. Thanks for the video

[@Ry-ct2py]

This is not a drone I’d buy but it was fun to watch. Thanks for the video

[@Danny_Roman.]

Nice footage m8 Dustin is this your main job? Reviews? What's your main job

[@donegalrediscovered3309]

Thanks Dustin .. It’s a pity it doesn’t give you the option for a decent 3 axis gimbal camera .. In meantime I’ll keep my Spry+.. 🌊☘️😀🇮🇪👍

[@DustinDunnill]

This is mainly made for heavy drops but perhaps they'll have different cam options for it also 🍻

[@keeplifefishing5296]

Dustin you rock bro 👍🏽, thanks for the videos . I have same drone , had problems with remote screen , Urban Drone did replace with new remote ✅… Your videos are so informative 👍🏽. Thank you 🙏🏾

[@Causemoi]

Great test. Thanks!

[@georgeaura]

I had a used splash drone 1 but never got a chance to try out all what it can do.

[@MIHfishing]

Was this a good drone thinking for using offshore to spot birds and fish?

[@vika7117]

Aloha Where did you order that swellpro fisherman drone from? Wanna get one on friday ...

[@larisameanwalk9501]

How do you get it to go to a location that you put in the gps

[@darylsmithwick3039]

Good video helped me out on deciding to purchase one

[@chrisortiz2640]

Can you please do a video review of the Fimi x8 pro.

[@auck1969]

So remote ID is built in then?

[@shotgun4257]

What were you covering? Does it show personal information? Great review brother

[@DustinDunnill]

GPS coordinates 🍻

[@shotgun4257]

@@DustinDunnill sorry dumb question. Thanks for all of your work on your reviews man, they really help in determining what I’m buying. 🙏

[@DAVEEYEINTHESKY]

That was very cool, if they could add something like dji ocusync or lightbridge that would be a winner🎉

[@geoffo7968]

fantastic effort and content Dustin, i have learnt a lot , please keep up the good work . yes they are a bit pricey , YOLO. haha .thankyou

[@gempabeatz2194]

hey dus,is there a way we can contact you? I need some recommendations for my budget.

[@DustinDunnill]

Here is fine. What's your budget?

[@gempabeatz2194]

@@DustinDunnill Good morning, My budget is around 350$. I'm open for drones out of DJI's list the main thing im looking for is the range and the camera, I do not care about intelligent feautures at all, Also I do not need 4k video camera, 2.7k will be fine.

[@DustinDunnill]

If I was in your position I'd likely find a legit deal on a DJI Mini 3 standard (without the Obstacle avoidance) at eBay. Just make sure it's not damaged and comes with remote. You may even find a new one for around that price. You might need to spend a little more like around $400 but it's worth it.🍻

[@gempabeatz2194]

@@DustinDunnill Got it, I'll definitely see what I can do. Thank you for your time and sorry for the disturbance. Cheers 🍻

[@georgeaura]

I'm just looking to get the spry

[@jeremyboyce1537]

Hi Dustin , who are these Drones made by ?

[@bushmanphotos]

just a word about the automated functions... they're cool just like Litchi is cool... but if something goes wrong you're screwed. After eight years flying drones including over 200 fishing drops I highly recommend manual control at all times and don't use RTH unless an emergency. These Swellpro products are great (apart from the insane price) until they aren't. They seem to glitch a lot more than DJI products. I fly both brands almost daily.

[@theroc495]

Hello, since you fly this drone daily, is it worth it?? I'm right now seriously considering this drone, so if you have some valuable insight or opinion, please tell me Thank you

[@DustinDunnill]

Keep SwellPro drones sealed correctly, clean, rinsed, maintained, batteries half charged when not in use and they will last. If you need the lift strength and waterproofness...this one is solid 🍻

[@theroc495]

@DustinDunnill ...why thank you sir !!!

[@InaMopar]

When mini 4 pro range test

[@SupraStringing11b]

I really want to buy this drone, but the lack of features for the asking price keeps me away. A proper gimbal for one.

[@coxsen999]

Do you miss Hawaii

[@Myanmar301]

How much $?

[@jesusgjchuza6491]

Super 😎😎

[@uptowndisco2]

So I should throw my Mavic 3 into a swimming pool after flying over the sea , got it ! 🤣

[@DustinDunnill]

Yah you should try it but you know already it's not waterproof like this one 😂🍻

[@alexandredobaria9553]

J'aime beaucoup 👌👍👍🤠😊

[@jeremyboyce1537]

When you Taunt Dustin , about a Range Test , it takes longer , stop it , he will do it soon enough !!!

BEST DRONE KZbin!! WHO AGREEZ

😍😍👍

[@w.e.s.]

Technically if its got fishin line tethering it the faa cant whine about it...tethered drone laws r non existent bc it becomes not a drone lol.

[@albertlim8079]

This brand of drone is very expensive

[@bushmanphotos]

yea ruins them really... way overpriced for what they are

[@4ndy123]

First 😅

[@johnsonbui]

You better stop fly your drone they start tracking you and arrest you just google the news New Jersey,Boston,the drone s operators at arrested😂😂😂

[@777geeman]

expensive pos imo. Lose a drone to water you aint getting back no matter what the drones capabilities. id rather risk a DJI at a third of the cost.

[@JohnDeere_Simulations]

Perfect example of what not to do Even if it’s waterproof or not, you don’t want to dunk it in water because even though it’s waterproof, dunking it in a clean water bath like you you showed will get water inside the contacts where the propellers sit and you do not want water sitting in there because the water overtime will make the metal rust do you get this the water off? Yes rub off the shelf water or just gently clean it with fresh water.😂😂

[@DustinDunnill]

Lol...did you even watch the video? You only want to do this to clear out salt & salt water which was stated. I think we both know it will destroy electronics more than freshwater. If you did not know this, you learned something today 🍻

[@TheDronzDr]

@@DustinDunnill I don’t think he was listening Dustin lolol. Great job my friend. Could you believe if this drone had OcuSync and Lightbridge on it, what it could be capable of doing in the air.

[@ernestsill2853]

Mini 4 pro better.

[@danbrd1949]

You are talking apples to oranges. Put 6Lbs on a Mini 4 and get it to fly. Advantage in Waypoint by setting to a longitude latitude coordinate. Mini 4 can't. This IS NOT a photo drone. It is designed for a specificate function. I have the Mini 4, Mavic 3, and old Phantom 4 pro. That can't do what this was designed for. I can see the advantages to this drone that many people would want. Land any DJI in water or fly in heavy rain, see how long it stays up or functions after being submerged in water.

[@andrewsmith4460]

Not for fishing

[@adinjasarevic.94]

Can't compare this one which is flying during rainy and mini4 pro 😁

[@andrewsmith4460]

@@adinjasarevic.94 they’re also totally different drones the swellpro isn’t for filming it’s for fishing
