My drone friends Joe and Hal invited me to go "droning" with them at Lorne, a seaside town 2 hours west of Melbourne on the Great Ocean Road. They were testing out a new fishing drone by seeing if it could survive landing in the ocean and I captured the event with my Evo 2 Pro drone. We almost had an accident. The SwellPro was sitting in the ocean and I was filming it with my drone above it and suddenly the SwellPro took off. It automatically did a return to home and shot up by itself. I reacted quickly and pulled my drone away just in time. Otherwise two very expensive drones may have been lost, well at least my Evo would have been lost. I am guessing that the SwellPro antennas were blocked by the waves which triggered the return to home. You will see it in the video. The SwellPro drone is huge but I guess it has to be when used for fishing and carrying fishing lines. The SwellPro has a microphone which made it sound like a whipper snipper. It also has a fishing line release mechanism and different camera options and is completely waterproof. This is not a product review but I hope you enjoyed watching this special drone in the water. Thanks to Joe and Hal for a great day. Thank you to you for watching :) Thank you and stay safe, Brett - Gizmo Drones gizmofun101@gmail.com Filmed with: * Autel Evo 2 Pro in 4K 30fps LOG 10bit H.265 colour mode. * Fujifilm X-T200 camera in 4K 30fps * SwellPro SplashDrone 3+ in 2.7K 24fps - video provided by Joe.
