This Splash Drone has make for shooting pictures even under the water surface. The Splash Drone can land on the water, to shoot beneath the surface.
HexH2o is a waterproof hexacopter that can shoot both aerial and underwater footage. On a first look this quadcopter looks like it could be a lot of fun, but its US$3,658 price tag certainly talking about professional quadcopter which is not for everybody’s pocket.
This quadcopter looks like any other standard rc quadcopter but it has ABS body which means that it is completely watertight.
If you buy one, you can mount a GoPro camera on its underside via a waterproof 2-axis gimbal, fly it out to an area where they want to get some shots of whatever is beneath the surface, then just land the copter on the water. It will subsequently float on the surface with the camera submerged, until it's instructed to take off again.
It comes with built-in transmitter which can be plugged into the camera to transmit live video from the aircraft to the user, up to a range of more than 1.5 kilometers.
The Splash Drone can be piloted in real time using an included radio remote control unit. Besides that it can autonomously follow a flight plan plotted on an accompanying app. That app also allows it to be used in Follow Me mode, where it will automatically fly along above the user, homing in on a tracking device attached to their smartphone.
Making it a little more practical is a flare holder on top, allowing it to serve as a hovering emergency beacon. It also has a payload release mechanism, allowing it to deliver and drop cargo.
Once you charge his 4,200-mAh battery you should fly for a little over 15 minutes without interruption.
On this video you can see how this drone flies and lands on the water.
