WHAT! This is epic! We live on our sailboat, sailing around the world and filming along the way, we are totally looking into this!
KnightOfTheKing the same way we have been? We both have our own business’s and work remotely. I do digital marketing, and my husband is a cinematographer who shoots documentaries.
How big is your boat that sounds so cool
@@briantel9432 she is 41'
Do you have a vlog?
@@johnnycash4034 no I don't 😕
My first stop channel for drones. His politeness, sincerity.. unmatched.
canadian,eh!?
110% agreed! My brother Captain has an amazing channel! We are lucky, Captain should have 10 times More on the amount of subscribers .. . I guess we are lucky to have a Captain:) Thank you so much!
And don't forget his over-enthusiastic praise for mediocre drones. You can always tell when someone was sent a drone versus someone who actually buys them.
Yes.... this surivival mechanism is innate in ALL Canadians.... eh bud?
Love from the Formerly United States. To our Canuck cousins, y’all are always sweet.
This is the best video I've seen for the Spry+ ! I just took mine out for the 1st time this past weekend. Great video! Great stability in flying! Landed it on a boat with no problem. Used it to explore shallow marsh area that we couldn't reach with a motor boat.
My dream drone🥰......I have made my purchasing decisions purely on caps reviews.....if you want to know EVERYTHING about a drone/rc your on the right channel lol cap is by far one of the best if not thee best reviewer on the tube PERIOD!!!!!👍✌
The most versatile Drone I have ever seen. I will purchase this one over any high end Drone on the market.
Excellent review Captain
Thank You
I built a way better one? czcams.com/video/7tjm7lRCns4/video.html
@@sleepingbearffg5008 Awesome, Bear!
I'm glad the sorted the battery install on this one the last drone felt a bit cumbersome when installing it this looks more slick
Y’a déjà eus des batteries qui ont gonflées et impossible de la sortir du drône !!!
you are the first who review this drone with sense....very informative ...mine works like butter
Another great review - really appreciated the level of detail and the complete look at all features. Fantastic-looking drone as well. Thanks Cap'n!
Much appreciated!
Impressive!!...thanks for review. Perfect for sailing videos.
My build way better..700 I'm selling on ebay soon.czcams.com/video/7tjm7lRCns4/video.html
Wow! This is my kind of drone. Good for surfing. Much regards Sir. From Bayagnan Island, Surigao city, Philippines.
Like always a GREAT presentation.... wonderful job!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome review as always ... will get this drone soon.
Followed link to manufacturer showing it ‘flies’ underwater and gets impressive images there. Big WOW for that..
Steve, the extra piece they sent that you thought was for the controller actually gets put on the heat sink on the bottom of the drone. Its used for mainly for attaching fishing line to fly out much farther than you could cast with a fishing pole. I dont fish but I have used it to some of my sons Lego mini figures around. He loves it because it looks like they are in the military doing whats called spy rigging. Anyway I thought you would like to know that. Cheers
Really? Now that is cool. Thanks for the info.

@@thomaslapointesr4159 r/Woooosh
😂😂😂😂
I picked one of these up about two months ago and its become my new favorite drone to fly. The only issue I have had is with the drone maintaining its altitude. The drone will ascend and descend on it's own sometimes. Usually only a couple of feet but it did descend all the way to landing once. Its really not a huge deal but I thought I would mention it. There is also a different Acro firmware available on Swellpro's website for those interested. Apparently that firmware allows the user to do flips and increase the top speed quite a bit. It also disables all sensors so be very careful if you try that firmware.
I will have to check out that firmware, thanks!
Can you view the video in the and also down load the video from the App to your phone like the go pro does?
@@badlands1217 I don't and never have owned a Gopro so I'm not sure what the answer is. What I can say is that any photos or video that are taken only save to the micro SD card installed in the drone. The two apps that can be used with the Spry+ (specifically Swellcam) allow tou to adjust the cameras parameters, but don't save any photos or videos. As far as downloading directly from thr drone through the micro USB port, I honestly don't know but I don't think you can. The manual would have instructions on how to do that if it were possible. Hope this helps.
Thank you , Mr Captain Drone..... awesome info
That's it I'm getting one for Christmas. Living on an island surrounded by water, and rains half the year I need this bad boy.
Cons are lack of sensors, short range, no gimble. Pros easy to see orange color, floats, uncluttered display, reasonable price. Useful review.
Check out my version? czcams.com/video/7tjm7lRCns4/video.html
I knew it was expensive from the get go because u never said the price$ You are a very intelligent man cause if you would have told the price at the beginning; No one except the rich would have watch the hole video‼️ I thank you for your reviews cause I have been in the market for a do it all drone for a few years now. The Mavic Air 2 really looks good‼️
Amazing detailed video as always great job !!!!
Great video review.
Thank you.
Take care,
Be safe.
Great, through and long! Actually it’s a great drone but not inexpensive!! I’ve been using the gimbal version SP3 ,GC-3 camera which is most cinematic for the last 1/2 a year and the cameras are bad ass. If you are a water-sports photographer this is a good drone to have. The images are sharp and you can get unreal in-the-Barrel water shots. It’s a real money maker. I have had my drone hit by the lip on a heavy offshore day and it went over the falls and flipped over. Eventually I was able to flip it over up right and I flew back to the line-up without any further hold downs. Extremely durable and watertight. This drone is the real deal. Water tight Phantom 4. 👍🏼
Check out my dji version 700 bucks it's yours gps..10 miles range. 120mph. beta flight for acro.. way better. Almost at final build. Test going great! czcams.com/video/7tjm7lRCns4/video.html
수중드론 안전하고 너무좋아요 👍
Wow this actually looks pretty awesome . Love the intro my man.
Glad you like it
Very nice Captain, loved it. So close to getting one! John
Teacher asked what you have done yesterday I said I watch 👀 captain drone yesterday then teacher give me a star for watching👀 Captain drone
The school principal wants to see you in his office
This drone seems awesome!! It would be perfect for me because I live by the coast in Ireland, and I would be able to fly it all right in Irish weather. Unfortunately it’s too pricey for me, but really cool! Thanks for the great review!
My dji version way better and I'll sell for 700 czcams.com/video/7tjm7lRCns4/video.html
Just purchased my first drone..
Still man you are one of the best influencers for drone info.
Thank you
Wow, thanks!
I'm voting this video as your very best and excellent detailed explanations of all the features😀
I would love to see a review by you on SwellPro's other water proof drone that has a gimbal and a payload system. Called the Splash Drone 3. But I really liked this review. See if you can fly the Spry under water without GPS (in ATTI)!
As far as drones with built in screens, Yuneec comes to mind.... And Autel's Evo line. And, while it's an extra, DJI does have their "Smart Controller" which has a built in screen. Granted, none of these are waterproof, but they all do have gimbals.
If someone wants a waterproof drone with a built in screen with the controller and an actual gimbal, then I'd consider the Splash Drone 3 from Swell Pro.
How about comparing the Spry to the Power Egg X?
Thanks again!
I remember this company advertises their waterproof drones as drones for rescue purposes, so their customers usually are not the ordinary drone lovers like us.
Like us.. love it why I built a version for us..analog or dji 500 or 700 selling on ebay.. 120 mph.. betaflight acro.. czcams.com/video/7tjm7lRCns4/video.html
Greetings, Captain Drone
I really thank you for so great review on the Spry Plus since I am thinking to purchase one. It has been a great help. I have been looking into CZcams videos and yours are the more informative regrading this drone. Thank you very much and may God bless you. Keep on with your informative videos.
Just got one really good info thank u soooo much
This is the first non DJI drone that I've thought was pretty cool.
Saw a short video from their website and apparently you can flip it upside down in the water and it becomes a submarine (seriously). Can you test this feature please?
i think you would have to put the controller in the water too, otherwise you'd have no signal.
Awesome drone. Did not think it would be cheap,with all those features and capabilities. Nice video Steve.
czcams.com/video/7tjm7lRCns4/video.html better and I build you one for 500 analog or 700 for djiczcams.com/video/7tjm7lRCns4/video.html
Love this drone. Thanks for your review
You could use RainX on the lens so you don’t get water droplets
Nice work Steve!
Thats a pretty cool drone 👍
Stay safe ✌
czcams.com/video/7tjm7lRCns4/video.html this version is bad ass.czcams.com/video/7tjm7lRCns4/video.html
Great review - tanks!
Love the AWAC style antena; waterproof demo alone would make me buy it.

My friend built the DJI/Analog capable waterproof drone. Check out his link czcams.com/video/7tjm7lRCns4/video.html
Good Drone especially around Water. You can't worry about what happens if it gets wet.
Excellent video, the best review I’ve seen of this drone.
Wow, thanks!
Im so glad I saw the video on their website. That thing can kinda swim not just splash in water but go under like a submarine.
This is grait drone plus with mice range extender can get even better. Many people say price is hi. But with 3 baterys Waterproof more like all weather proof $1200 is very good.
As usual exelent review Im considering eddding it to my fleet
If you change the 5.8 ghz antenna on the controller, you can go much farther.
Would like to see your thoughts on the FPV. How about with those TopSky goggles? I was about to go Mavik but I love this idea of a camera drone that has FPV. Then waterproof? oh yeah. though the jelly-artifact is a bummer - even with the two blades it's definitely still there.
I built DJI version czcams.com/video/7tjm7lRCns4/video.html
very cool, and no phone required. Love it, thanks for sharing.
Love that bird..check out DJI version..czcams.com/video/7tjm7lRCns4/video.html
Wow... Very good review 👍 very helpful thanks
Glad you liked it
Question for you, what happens IF it flips over in the water? Can it right itself while on its top??
Good question... I forgot to test that.
YEAH...
Yes, submarine mode! czcams.com/video/5_WcSLkwdR8/video.html&feature=emb_logo
The drone software has anti flip settings. It won't flip over.
@@kamchai702 thanks for the link!!!
Around 14:37 when you are changing the battery, i can see that the battery strap didn't get placed completely inside the "water-tight" compartment. Call me a nit-picker, but this could result is a lack of sealing. Water will find it way in!
Swell Pro is a scam dont buy from them!
Waited 50 years to get my first boat, now I have GOT to get this!!!
Steve, I just watched this again. I don't think you mentioned whether the batteries are intelligent batteries, and getting anything from SwellPro has proven impossible. Could you address that please? Thank you.
This is a great review, you made me want this drone even more LOL
Awesome drone...could u name the music used at the opening of the video plz.🤘❤
DANGER SNOW
RainX on the camera cover should do the trick for the water bubbles.
Slight problem...blades spinning at over 20,000 rpm..🤔
@@k1ortia Not in water they won't be.... Lets hope it floats. if it sinks like a brick it will need to be water resistant
Enjoyed watching your review capt. Good drone love to have one.
What an awesome drone! I wish I could afford it. Thanks for this great video Captain Drone.
Great concept its a shame no gimbal, if so i would have ordered one
I built dji version..czcams.com/video/7tjm7lRCns4/video.html
There's a ceramic coating for windshields that is basically "RainX on steroids" definitely an investment for a drone like this.
That would certainly work
nice video CAPTAIN fast and clear 😎
Absolutely amazing drone
Great review
Good job like always
Keep going
Remember when you're dunking it into salt water to rinse the motors with fresh water when done. Salt water corrodes !!
but its waterproof they claim lol
@@kenndo9906 Yes, it is waterproof, but that doesn't make salt water any less corrosive ;-)
@@pixelpeter3883 No its water resistant... i work with watches... there is no such thingas water proof Salt isn't only problem, you can include pressure at depth too. I should have have a depth rating ie water resitant to....to be trusted in water
@@kenndo9906 Now we're getting into semantics, while I only tried to caution people when using stuff in SALT water. Plus you won't exactly be bringing this quadcopter to any serious depth.
@@pixelpeter3883 you are right, it is advisable to rinse it in fresh water after salt water use. In another video I watched with the Swellpro Splashdrone, the reviewer brought that up, and he washed his off with a hose (on camera) after flying it into the ocean: czcams.com/video/-WvX3F6Bqig/video.html
EPIC drone
Only problem : Tooo expensive for meee!!!!!!
LEGENDARY COMMENT👌👌

Ya same here. I was excited until I saw the price lol

Great review, but I hope the aviation authorities don't get wind of these. They'll have to dream up a whole new set of regulations for an unmanned marine aircraft 🤣
Rules are impossible to follow anyway. I fly through the woods a lot using goggles so a observer would be useless but I have never found anyone interested in being one anyway.

with a price like that the drone better be able to ACTUALLY fly me around

really helpful review thanks. This is the drone I'm looking at getting for good video quality, but also for beach fishing.

I'll sell you my build for 700 czcams.com/video/7tjm7lRCns4/video.html
You still have it?
I haven't checked Price, But I would imagine from what I've seen 800$ was going to be my guess for low end price range but,Water Resistant, Quod and Control with What I really want display,and the Bells and Whistles it comes with Gosh Its NO DJI but it is Doing things that would make that Prould DJI owner Have a Cow, Rightfully So! Swellpro I believe a fairly good reputation in the Drone Business! It would seem to fit me Great for the Thing u said several times Durability!My experience with Drones If you're not Buying DJI ,with the ones now even MMini They are Durable in the fact They Work,So This would be a top of the Not DJI drones Worth Getting along with The power Egg2 ,Captain Can we see a Water Drone (this Swellpro vs Power Egg 2,and or any other contenders) Extreme water/weather Compaction to find The best All Conditions Flyer,That would be Great Idea for People who want to get A Drone that will be the Only One that they need to buy until tec changes everything again, I forget this drone is kinda like getting your feet wet in FPV World ,So add a one more point to Swellpro! Good Job Making me want to sell my Pinky Toe to Get this Drone,Well Done Cap

The queensbury boys give this a thumbs up! Thanks for the great video captain drone!!!!!!
That's it I'm getting one for Christmas. Living on an island surrounded by water, and rains half the year I need this bad boy.
It's on sale and the basic package still costs $987 US !! That is Mavic Air 2 fly more combo territory. If you take away the waterproofing you're basically left with a Bugs 4W with a slightly better camera. I get the attraction of being able to take it boating, but for that price it needs a lot more flight time and a gimble. If this was a serious drone with a serious camera and good flight time then you can justify the cost. It seems they have sacrificed the drone so they can make it waterproof. To me it's a bit gimmicky.
I think they had better hope DJI doesn't release a waterproof Mavic 2 Pro with 4K/60 anytime soon. 🤣🤣
Sell you my version..700 way better..dji gps. 12mph on 6s czcams.com/video/7tjm7lRCns4/video.html

Thanks mr captain drone for an awesome lecture 🙏 I might get one too…!
Great fun.. Nice review..
I saw this advertised and was highly sceptical but having seen your review I can see how this would be a most useful and versatile piece of kit. I’d certainly entertain one. The image stability is actually pretty good for a non gimbal camera. Nice review.

Please Tell which one I should buy?
I am confused?????
Did the OEM props fix the jello problem? The batteries dumb? Or do they have some smarts to keep track of age and equalization during charge?
Awesome review! I have always wanted to take a drone with me out kayaking. I only trust using them on shore over land lol. Now I can take this one with me on the water. Great find Captain! Thanks for the review! Ask for the SplashDrone 3+ to review next. Saw it trying to order my Spry

U truely is the champion of drones and drone reviews...
Thank you
Great review. Pricey drone, but they really put a lot of love and thought into this one. Makes me want one even though I exclusively fly FPV freestyle now. The software and the nitty gritty details seem like they were very well thought out. I still have never bought a DJI (although I run the DJI FPV Digital goggle system) my friends have Mavics, etc. I think I would buy this over the Mavics as it would be a lot of fun to bring fishing or to the beach. :)
Thanks again for the great channel and review. Well done!!
