Overview

The 5th Generation of the Swellpro Waterproof Drones has arrived - and it's better than ever.

The SD4 represents over seven years of design improvements and experience, resulting in Swellpro's most powerful all-digital floating & flying platform to date.

Without doubt a new benchmark for Waterproof Drones has again been set, quite simply there is no drone in the world like it.

• IP67 Rated Waterproof Drone
• IP66 Rated Controller - Now With The Option To Mount A Smart Phone Or Tablet
• 5KM Image Transmission Range On The Standard Antennas
• Upgraded 30 Minute Flight Time
• 2KG Payload Capacity
• Slide-in Smart Battery

The SD4 comes packed with loads more features and an even bigger range of payloads including the established three axis gimbal camera, which now shoots RAW files.

A collection of payload release mechanisms are still available as well as a gamechanging thermal imaging camera option. The Splashdrone 4 also comes equipped with a new and improved powerful mobile APP.

Microprocessor Controlled Smart Drone Battery

Each slide-in SD4 battery has its own integrated microprocessor controller, teamed with 6500mAh of high-performance lithium technology cells to provide up to 30 minutes of flight time. The SD4 smart battery provides:

• Real-time power monitoring and alerts
• Integrated balance charging to ensure battery health, safety and long life by constantly monitoring battery health, state-of-charge and temperature.
• Simpler battery storage and maintenance as the controller manages battery health even when not in the aircraft.
• Fast, slide in battery replacement. Integrated connectors allow for wire-free installation and replacement.
• Battery charging and usage data logging to allow for better battery management and event recording.

High-visibility, innovative waterproof body design

The design of the SD4's fuselage brings together SwellPro engineers' deep experience and understanding of waterproof drones, materials and processes. Its structure is simple in design, attractive in appearance, lightweight, strong and most importantly functional. The body has been designed to facilitate upgrading, repairing or replacement of parts as well as supporting various custom modifications thanks to integrated mounting points. A hinged, waterproof hatch makes changing the slide-in battery module fast and easy.

Powerful propulsion system with tuned flight computer

Following 18 months of intensive R&D, the SwellPro SD4 marries new motors, digital reflux speed controllers (ESC), an all-new custom flight computer and gyroscope to deliver a fully featured multi-purpose flight platform. Able to fly in challenging weather conditions with variable loads, the new SwellPro SD4 provides a reliable and flexible solution to the challenges of operating safely over water for long distances.

Waterproof motors

The newly designed 3510 motors have strong and stable performance with high load-carrying capacity and excellent flight performance. The motors have been specifically designed for the marine environment with premium materials, excellent waterproof coatings and salt-water rated bearings to resist damage from salt and sand in the marine environment. Please thoroughly rinse after using in saltwater, ensuring there are no salt deposits remaining.

Carbon fiber propellers

The SwellPro SD4 utilizes tuned and balanced 12” quick-release carbon-fibre propellers which are proven, durable and unaffected by marine corrosion. Their stiffness and accuracy of pitch make these an ideal solution for high-performance aircraft. The propellers are secured with quick-release bayonet mounts instead of the more common spin-on propellers that can detach when the drone is on the water.

New Reflux Electronic Motor Speed controllers (ESC)

The SD4 employs new 40A high-speed, digital reflux, energy-saving speed controllers. With fast response, low noise and integrated heat management the SwellPro SD4 has shorter braking distances, more stable flight and lower internal temperatures to help ensure flight safety and reliability.

Payloads up to 2kg

The SD4 can comfortably lift a payload of 1.5kg with a maximum payload weight of 2kg.

Integrated Anti-collision Strobe

On the top of the SD4, a bright white aircraft anti-collision strobe helps the pilot and other aircraft pinpoint the drone in low-light and darkness - meeting the regulatory requirements of many regions. The strobe can be activated or deactivated in flight by the SwellPro app.

Fully digital radio systems for clear, long-distance transmission

Using new advanced wireless digital radios, the SD4 can broadcast its image up to 5km away while airborne. Innovative adjustable antennas can be setup to maximize range depending on the requirements of the mission being flown. When flying just 0.5m above the water, range is still up to 2.8km and floating on the water surface the transmission range is 500m.

Multi-connect

Unlike many other drones, the SD4 allows for multiple devices and apps to be simultaneously connected to the drone’s flight systems either by multipoint WiFi, ethernet or serial interface.
