DESCRIPTION
The SwellPro Fisherman FD1+ is a beginner-friendly waterproof fishing drone, perfect for those new to drone fishing. By removing the added features like an onboard camera and live view screen, the FD1+ focuses on its core purpose – delivering your bait to areas you’ve never been able to reach before. This makes it the most affordable option available on the market.
4.8 LBS / 2.2KG BAIT CAPACITY
The upgraded propulsion system of the new FD1+ offers greater power and efficiency compared to its predecessor, enabling the drone to effortlessly lift baits up to 2.2 kg. This allows anglers to use heavier baits to target larger fish, with the assurance that the drone can reliably manage the load.
HIGH TORQUE MOTORS
The FD1+ features four brushless motors with a low KV rating, providing high torque to generate the thrust needed to carry heavy baits.
SMOOTH CONTROL ESCS
The FD1+ incorporates sine wave ESCs, ensuring smooth and gradual motor acceleration, which enhances stability when lifting heavier loads. These ESCs offer precise control, allowing for fine maneuvering and stable hovering—crucial when positioning baits at exact GPS coordinates.
I67 SALTWATER PROOF
The FD1+ aircraft is fully sealed, air-pressure tested, and dunk tested to ensure it is completely waterproof. Its fuselage is constructed from marine-grade ABS, providing extra strength and resistance to distortion.
CORROSION FREE
The FD1+ features waterproof motors, a waterproof bait release, and internal electronics, all coated with a corrosion-resistant layer for added protection against salty air.
S6 FLIGHT CONTROLLER
The upgraded S6 flight controller enhances responsiveness by making real-time adjustments to maintain the FD1+’s altitude and balance, ensuring stable performance even when carrying heavy baits.
SELF CALIBRATING
With the S6 flight controller, anglers can quickly deploy the FD1+ for fishing without the need for a complex calibration process. The FD1+ automatically calibrates its sensors to ensure stability and control during flight.
BUOYANT DESIGN
The FD1+ is designed with enough buoyancy to float on water, allowing it to remain afloat upon landing and take off again with ease.
GPS 9.0
The latest 9th-gen GPS, with enhanced satellite connectivity, offers exceptional precision and stability when guiding the FD1+ to a specific fishing spot. The drone will hold its position and maintain its course, even in windy conditions.
HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERIES
The FD1+ is equipped with a high-voltage LiHV 6S battery designed to enhance its lifting capacity. With an excellent power-to-weight ratio, this flight battery allows the drone to carry heavy baits while maintaining flight stability, and provides enough thrust to perform reliably in challenging conditions, such as strong winds.
CRUISE MODE
Cruise mode allows the FD1+ to fly at a consistent speed and direction automatically, making long-distance drone casting effortless. This frees anglers from continuously adjusting the drone, allowing them to concentrate more on fishing.
AUTOMATIC RETURN HOME
When the FD1+ is out of sight, a single button press will automatically return the drone to its take-off point. This auto-return feature is also activated in emergencies, such as low battery or signal loss.
ENHANCED WIND RESISTANCE
Equipped with a powerful propulsion system and precise GPS 9.0 technology, the FD1+ can maintain its position and stability even in winds up to 32 mph (28 knots).
AUTOMATIC FLIP
Should the fishing drone inadvertently flip over in the water, the joysticks can be utilised to right it, restoring it to its upright orientation, after which you can pilot it safely back to shore.

NOTICE
If you order a drone we always ensure the firmware and calibrations are up to date and carry out a test flight before dispatch.
Although we endeavour to hit our one day dispatch target sometimes we will not be able to ship a drone as quickly as spare parts and accesssories.
