Very nice work Mr. Dunnill. This 4 part series are now my favorite of the work you have produced to date. Thank you.

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

Wow thanks. There will be a part 5 8000mah upgraded lipo test flight and a part 6 & 7 different types of fishing videos :)

@geoffreyhatchman7915 2 года назад

Hi Justin, great video as I have ordered a swellpro 4 and that's the first real good video I have seen . What viewing Google's do you use for the swellpro 4 as I don't think swellpro sell them. Are you very happy with the pro 4 . Thanks Geoff

@agentbertram4769 6 лет назад

What we need Dustin, is a SwellPro that can carry a leg of lamb. Then fly around dipping the leg of lamb into the water every now and again and you will see plenty of sharks. Good video. I enjoy your work. Concise, informative and without all the razzamatazz that some chaps inflict on us.

@DustinDunnill 6 лет назад

😆👍 it can with the remote drop attachment. Thanks 🍻

@drewhodge3820 7 лет назад

Nice video. Loved seeing the turtle and the fish. It might be worth fitting a CP lens so it cuts out some of the light reflection from the surface of the water.

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

+andrew hodgkinson Thanks Andrew. I'll be doing just that. CP filters are really needed here in Hawaii.

@drewhodge3820 7 лет назад

They do some very cheap and effective 37mm CP lenses ($3-$4) on ebay for the go pro that are very effective. The aluminium housing unscrews so you should be able to fit it inside your waterproof case. You may have to modify the inside of the case just slightly to allow the extra thickness of the lens. Iv done that on a Go pro and an SJcam waterproof case.

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

+andrew hodgkinson Thanks Andrew. I'll try one out and see how it works. I appreciate the tip :)

@drewhodge3820 7 лет назад

Forgot to mention you can fix a CP lens to the outside of the waterproof case. I used a thin line of hotmelt glue around the outside edge of the aluminium threaded lens holder. The 37mm CP lens wont cut off the corners of the image. The hotmelt is easy to remove with alcohol if you ever want to remove it. . My CP lens also came with a nice clip on cover.

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

I was thinking about that if the lens doesn't fit in the case. Was just worried about water in between lens and case but I guess that depends on the seal. Thanks again

@sirhilsam 7 лет назад

really enjoyed that footage and flight...video was so clear

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

+sirhilsam Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it :)

@FamilyFunIRL 7 лет назад

That is absolutely spectacular!

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

+David Battle Thanks David. Glad you enjoyed it 😁

@didactylos4diddy474 7 лет назад

It's a hell of a good machine which I've no doubt can and will be tweaked and upgraded. I would like one but it's out of my range for now. Great video again

@makshima8545 6 лет назад

at 7:31, in the lower left quadrant, you pass over a honu (sea turtle), popular shark food. Not sure if it's the same one from your first dunk. Great videos!

@DustinDunnill 6 лет назад

Indeed. Turtles frequent that area all day long ☺️👍

@gdhall5311 7 лет назад

Great video Dustin, another spectacular view. I was hoping that you were not going into the water and the shark was right behind the drone, what a sight that would have been.

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

+gdhall5311 Thanks. It may have very well been under the water but we just can't see it. I'll try again with some chum attached to the drone 😁

@Leonards_life 7 лет назад

Really enjoyed that video. I have theAutel x-star express, but since I bought it over a week ago it has rained and rained and super high winds.impatient to fly again as I did for 3 years with a Phantom 1.

@WantAdrioid 7 лет назад

nice video, keep making these ocean videos. fun to watch and you'll eventually find a shark....

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

+T Dingman Thanks T. I've got a few more up my sleeve with this cool Drone

@Palmateer29 6 лет назад

Awesome video and sweet drone had to stop it at beginning and grab some popcorn and family to watch your national geographic movie lol . Ive got the Ehang Ghostdrone and Hubsan 501ss also the Xiro Exployer V lol too many, anyway just thinking of a mod you can do to the cam where antenna is mounted to top of drone to prevent cutout ok my friend i subscribed and keep up the good work.

@pksteffen 7 лет назад

Super cool! Almost as good as snorkeling! Hopefully they put that antenna above to keep the FPV.

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

+PK Steffen I'm going to try and move the antennas out to the sides and up a little. Hate to drill into a waterproof device though 😂

@Riddick_4506 7 лет назад

Seems like an awesome drone and especially to look under water. But why would they put the antennas facing down underneath the drone, so when you do take a dunk your camera feed is not all that great? Seems to me you would get much better reception if the antennas we're on top of the drone...

@mitch60609 7 лет назад

External antenna for FPV also propeller and rudder would make for exploring land and water. Vary cool quadcopter thanks for sharing

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

A mini rudder would be cool with the extra channel available for the drop mechanism :)

@chrisdone687 7 лет назад

very cool flying & video Mr dunnill as normal😎I think this quad is on par with dji ? what do you think ?

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

+Chris Done it can use a little improvement like antenna placement. It uses older analog FPV tech. But it is waterproof and works well enough which is still very unique when compared to what else is available. I don't think it's comparable to anything DJI has out yet because it's built around a waterproof purpose.

@You_Have_been_informed 7 лет назад

just wanted to say you are the reason i own this drone my friend. Question? do you have the Xiro-Xplorer-V-Quadcopter-Drone ? because i am planning on getting that next to add to my collection .

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

+bobeads73 Glad you enjoy my vids. I don't have Xiro yet sorry.

@0911casper 7 лет назад

Hey Dustin, You have some great reviews here bro. What edition of Director 15 do you use?

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

thanks. Ultimate

@0911casper 7 лет назад

Awesome! Again, love the reviews! btw, hows the cx-20 been doing since you did the mods to it? i saw the last video and it looked like it handles like a champ.

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

I had crashed it because of pilot error in manual mode and have never moved it into the new shell I have for it. Maybe some day. I have the crash on my channel.

@0911casper 7 лет назад

dang! That sucks.

@ThomasBryant 7 лет назад

Hey Dustin, Do you think you can do a Pro's and Con's comparison with 3 of your favorite "Explorer/ Camera Drone" for under 600 dollars or so? I would love your expert opinion on what you'd find to be well worth the investment, especially for reliable, landscape photography. Thanks!!

@HyperJoe 7 лет назад

Damn Man! You have all the Cool Toys, awesome Video, as usual.. :D

@MarineBoar 6 лет назад

Nice video, tnx. It could use a polarized filter to block the glare off the water tho :)

@boomer4833 7 лет назад

Love the vid. Makes me want to go on vacation again. Got my diver's certification on Oahu. Would be nice to take the Hubsan h501s to Maui for some great footage.

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

Right on. Come back and visit :)

@billsomrak 7 лет назад

Also got to see a bit of Kapalua Plantation golf course .. which was on TV a few weeks ago, I think. I don't think sharks are going to stay around for a video shoot for long, so catching one isn't going to be easy, unless you get a boater to go out there and drop some "chum" in the area, then fly to it. Maybe you can rig your Swell Pro to drop some "chum" and then wait for the sharks to show up. Cheers.

@anthonywopaness2927 7 лет назад

I really like this drone, I'm thinking a fishing line and lure, I wonder how it might do with a fish on since it's fine in water no worries well unless the "big" fish starts dragging it away. but It's worth the risk, oh loved the 1812 overture

@WildCaptures 7 лет назад

That is a very unique quadcopter and a great flight👍

@Tespen42 7 лет назад

Tchaikovsky and drones! super - loved the video!

@chrisdone687 7 лет назад

thanks Dustin honest and straight forward as always 😀 top reveiwer ......

@cheizangry8650 7 лет назад

Great video! I really like the race drone video's!

@chrisortiz2640 7 лет назад

Gijs Kwaad uh this is irrelevant to this video just saying that DISCLAIMER: DO NOT GET MAD BECAUSE I SAID THAT

@tonydrony2670 7 лет назад

Great music choice dustin

@markfinley1834 7 лет назад

Amazing video! Would love to see you attempt some fishing. You talked about the sweet spot for underwater video...how about some floats to hold it at the right depth.

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

I will definitely be doing some fishing videos. That's an idea with the floats but I'll probably move the antennas more up the sides so they are out of the water when it's floating. Adding the bulk of a float would be ok for no wind but would increase the surface area alot for the wind to blow around.

@wedders1729 7 лет назад

Superb Dustin, simply superb (using the 1812 definitely put the cherry on the cake). Thank you for a great video.

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

+Ian Wedderburn Thanks Ian. Glad you enjoyed it.

@sptrader6316 7 лет назад

Beautiful footage...Love seeing the turtle underwater. Maybe extend and route an FPV antenna out of the top, for underwater shots.....

@NickDavis333 7 лет назад

Dustin it looks like this thing actually went upside down just after hitting a wave at 8:50. Then after what appears to be a lot of propeller splashing, it appears to miraculously turn itself back over! Is that how you would interpret that event?

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

+Nick Davis Hi Nick. Yes, it eventually self rights. Quicker if you disarm.

@NickDavis333 7 лет назад

Wow that is really cool! I love your reviews by the way. Thanks!

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

+Nick Davis Right on Nick thanks.

@mikejoyce2192 7 лет назад

@lisac150 5 лет назад

I wish you did more underwater footage. It seems like your drone can’t manuever well underwater and maybe that’s the reason why you stay shallow with frequent trips to above to turn the aircraft. Could be wrong but that’s what it looks like

@avrahamcohen2134 6 лет назад

Hello, I was watching your videos regarding the SwellPro drone, and I noticed that in this video at time 08:45 the drone hit the water and it was flipped. How did you succeeded to bring him to his right position so you will be able to take off again from water? I saw another video of yours from last month when you tried to flip it in your pool and you couldn't. Can you please explain it? Thanks a lot!

@DustinDunnill 6 лет назад

+Avraham Cohen Hey good question. A change made by SwellPro in the SD3 that disarms and doesn't allow rearm on flip "for safety" they say 😕. I have told them they should allow it to flip upright somehow and they said they will try to implement it 👍

@avrahamcohen2134 6 лет назад

Thank you very much for the reply

@prizingir666 7 лет назад

Great video. I like this touch of nature. You could do some more videos of the sea with this drone. Because it´s somehting other, then always flying over the same spots. And you also have this fishing Cam. Try this one, who knows it could be better under water.

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

+Thomas Krois Thanks. I'll be doing a few fishing vids with it using the remote drop mechanism soon. 😁

@prizingir666 7 лет назад

Thanks, can´t await it. When you have time, just look some of my Videos, RC Drohnen Austria my Channel here.

@MrComfyAustralia 7 лет назад

Holy wow Batman! Awesome from turtles to almost scaring me half way through... ( till i remembered it self right lol). Then the high shot.. Beautiful... Cant get over the sound of the props... sounds like a diesel lol.

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

lol.. glad you enjoyed it :) I'll be doing some fishin with this one.

@phildawe7172 7 лет назад

ive never heard of that drone. that is awesome!! haha. if you modded the vtx antenna to be on a mast at the top of the drone, you would get way better fpv feed when the bottom half is submersed. great vid dustin! so cool!!

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

+Phil Dawe Thanks Phil. I plan on doing something with the antennas to get the up higher.

@CaptainCap39 7 лет назад

question for when flying. I'm buying a phantom 3 standard in about a week or so. Do you fly by looking at the screen or the copter? I have a pretty cheap drone right now and I have to fly it in headless mode or my brain gets all confused and I fly in wrong directions. I definitely dont want this to happen with my phantom 3. thanks

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

Both. One is Line of site and the other FPV (first person view looking at screen). You just have to practice to become a good pilot in both types of flying.

@CaptainCap39 7 лет назад

Dustin Dunnill alright thanks man. I figured fpv because I wanted to fly to a near by field but stay at my house and I didnt know if my phones fpv would be good for this

@georgeaura 6 лет назад

got to get a polarized filter to see into the water

@MrTUBER408 7 лет назад

Great video as usual! Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture was great background music. I haven't heard it in a long time. I appreciate your taste in music. BRAVO. You might try mounting a second 5.8 GHz antenna on the topside of the Splash Drone. Being able to see the FPV clearly when in the water would be so much nicer. A second 2.4 GHz antenna on top would increase the distance you could safely land in water and be confident of being able to takeoff. ;-)

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

+Don Fish Jr. Thank you Don. My thoughts exactly. Do you think splitting the FPV coax internally with a t adapter would work? I'm just worried about many connections and DB loss.

@MrTUBER408 7 лет назад

Dustin : You might try a coax pigtail, split end grafted into the existing coax, close to the board connection or a t connector. If you connect at a 1/4 wavelength or 1/2 wavelength on the original coax and cut the added pigtail to 3/4 wavelength or 1/2 wavelength, the DB loss will be negated to some degree by minimizing SWR. You could also simply relocate the existing antennas to the top of the craft, sealing the bottom holes with hot glue inside and a little outside. You might reuse the antenna covers or simply use heat shrink on the antennas. Shoe Goo adhesive would make a good water sealant on the relocated antennas. ;-)

@acesonthego2287 7 лет назад

That's some great footage

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

Thanks man.

@cheizangry8650 7 лет назад

I don't have a quad at the moment... wich one is a good race quad to begin with? Do you have any surgestions?

@lewisrobinson6601 7 лет назад

Gijs Kwaad have a look at the realacc gx210 racing drone I've got it myself it's a beast 👍👍

@cheizangry8650 7 лет назад

Robbo Playz I am going to look at the quad thanks!

@lewisrobinson6601 7 лет назад

Gijs Kwaad it's very good and fast 💨 you can get it from banggood and I think gear best good luck and hopefully Dustin Will do a review 👍👍

@cheizangry8650 7 лет назад

Robbo Playz Thanks for you advice! I hope it to! Do you have a flight video of it?

@lewisrobinson6601 7 лет назад

Gijs Kwaad no but very soon 👍 but sadly there won't be on bored flight because don't have cam for it but I will definitely do a video soon 👍👍👍

@geraldharper330 7 лет назад

Dustin, after a few days after video, did any rust show up?

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

+Dusty no rust anywhere but one of the motors seems to have been defective and bearing was not sealed. Took a video and sent it to SwellPro. They are sending new motors as a warranty replacement 😁

@enkhmandakhgantulga2554 7 лет назад

can you do review of autel x star please 😌. nice review by the way.

@Eclipse_Central 2 года назад

When they release a splash drone 5 then should make it so you can turn easily while in the water rather than having to keep flying out then in

@kevindodson7886 7 лет назад

WOW!!!!!! Just WOW,, GREAT VIDEO Bro!!!! wheew!!!

@lewisrobinson6601 7 лет назад

Hello have you been able to get the realacc gx210 racing drone yet ?

@MrRetro78 7 лет назад

perhaps you can extend the fpv antenna... something about 1/4 2/1 3/2 and 5/8 from the wave lenght and multiplies of them should work. so you could set some of the antenna on top of this craft.. DO2GMA

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

I will be modding to bring the antenna more up and out the sides so fpv and control are not so effected when in the water.

@chriscoolTV 7 лет назад

its your 8000 mah battery on this flyght ?

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

This was with the stock lipo I believe.

@jgroves55 7 лет назад

Tie a hook and some bait on the bottom of the drone and catch some fish, what a photo opp that would be. Nice video and music like being in the movies

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

+joe groves You bet Joe. I'll be doing multiple fishing videos with this one :)

@back2thecomputer 7 лет назад

looks like shark can be seen at 10:38 and 12:13 on the left of the screen, near the low water.. watch and you will see its full length as it turns 13:06 shows its full length on the left at screen

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

+back2thecomputer Good eye. I saw that also and it seemed like a floating black net or debree but it may be the tiger :)

@campo2400 7 лет назад

drone beach protection. just needs a bait container u can release scent to attract the shark away from swimmer's.

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

great idea :)

@dronesty7779 7 лет назад

I'm a new person to the drone community I am 11 I am starting my own drone reviewing channel I would like to know is there a version of this drone that's not waterproof as I wouldn't really use that feature and also the camera on that drone is stunning I could get some nice cinematography shots with that Anyways if could please get back to me on this drone thanks also I watch your channel for inspiration and I am also buying a wltoys q333 I have a verflew drone which I got from my dad for christmas Please get back to me if you could thanks 😀😀

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

+DRONESTY I'd say a non Waterproof version would be a Phantom 3 or equivalent. Being Waterproof is what makes this one unique.

@DustinDunnill 7 лет назад

+Stripes Tutorials & More I will do it but want to make sure there are no people anywhere around in the water.

@h7pubg 7 лет назад

Dustin Dunnill awesome, I was a volunteer lifeguard before, you can notify the lifeguard station nearby, or take it out on a boat (trust me you would get millions of views) it would be well worth it. Also don't worry too much, fishermen dump blood into the water all the time so if shoulder be much of an issue!
