  • Kindly refer all the Tutorial Videos given in the Image Section on the Catalog before use for the proper training.
  • Tough & Waterproof The SplashDrone 3+ fuselage is made from durable 3mm reinforced ABS to ensure a perfect waterproof seal. Each drone undergoes at least two pressure tests during production for 100% waterproofness. All parts, both inside and out, are corrosion resistant and designed for use in marine environments. New access hatch lid with air pressure equalization allows altimeter accuracy without permitting water entry.
  • Powerful Propulsion System The new S3 flight controller, integrated with new sensors and a powerful propulsion system, allows for greater sensitivity and more accuracy than ever. This means you can fly your Splash Drone 3+ safely and smoothly with more confidence on water, in rain and snow.
  • S3 Flight Controller The S3 constantly checks for errors and offers redundancy to improve flight stability. The dual-mode GPS locks onto up to 24 satellites from the GPS and GLONASS systems for improved accuracy and speed of positioning.
  • Quick-Fit Propellers Redesigned carbon-fibre propellers are light and stiff to efficiently transform the motors' power into thrust. A new quick-fit design enables fast and secure attachment of the propellers to the motors.
  • The return policy on this item is 14 days.

Love the Mavic 2's
Rating: 5
The zoom has exceeded all expectations. The low light videos and pictures are good, but if that's your thing, I'd go for the Mavic Pro 2. Sam's prices seem to best the best, plus you can still by refresh care via the dji website (within 48 hours of activation).
