The Splash Drone

Check out the Splash Drone Kickstarter Here!

Hi everyobdy, I wanted to introduce a new drone we've developed called the Splash Drone. The Splash Drone is a fully waterproof quad copter, with a 2D waterproof gimbal, FPV directly from the GoPro and loads of autunomous features. The Splash Drone is an improvement on our first iteration. We recieved tons of feedback and adjusted the design accordingly. The new features include:

• Payload release mechanism:  Capable of dropping a two-pound payload at the flip of a switch.
• Waterproof Camera Gimbal:  A 2 axis camera stabilization gimbal allows the pilot to manipulate the position of the GoPro camera and ensures smooth video capture.
• GoPro Dive Case:  Feeds live video directly from the GoPro to the video transmitter.
• Emergency flare adapter:  Hovers a flare 300 feet in the air for up to 15 minutes.
• Integrated video transmitter:  Can transmit a clear video signal for up to 1 mile.
• Follow me mode:  Will follow the pilots position autonomously (Android included, iOS optional)
• App based control:  Allows the pilot to fly the Splash Drone with an android device.
• Autonomous Missions:  Allows the pilot to plot waypoints and have the Splash Drone execute a predetermined flight path.
• Return to Take off location:  The Splash Drone will automatically return to its take off position if radio contact is lost.
• Telemetry displayed on remote screen shows its GPS location, altitude, distance and battery status. If the Splash Drone is lost, its last known GPS coordinates will be displayed, allowing for potential recovery.
