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.
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.
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
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!!!!!👍✌
Have had mine for about 6 months. At first I had nothing more than its durability (crash resistance) and water integrity to be happy with. Now I am more experienced with flying it and happier. A couple points... the controller does not universally link to all goggles. The standard DJI goggles are Not compatible. Racing Edition goggles are. The view screen on the controller is very low resolution and low contrast. On a sunny day you will have significant trouble framing for a video or still photo. Build yourself a shade!! As Captain Drone showed us, the follow me mode and the circle mode may not keep the controller centered in the frame so it may require some in flight fine tuning. I would strongly suggest recalibrating the accelerometer and the compass on each new location regardless of what the Swellpro instructions say. In Canada, the Spry is about the same cost as the DJI Mavic Pro series. If you need a waterproof drone (from the experience of several inwater crashes) this is the way to go... if you don't need it to be waterproof, you'll be much happier with a consumer DJI productr.
One last point - I found when linking the aircraft to the swellcam 2 app, I had to double tap the wifi button to have signal recognized on my iPhone 7S. A single push made for a nice flashing 5 second green wifi light but no connection.
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.
@@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.
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‼️
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.
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! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7tjm7lRCns4.html
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.
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!
Crazy bada$$ ! This one REALLY ROCKS ! Cap, just the fact that they want you to review it says who is the #1 Drone Review in the World ! KnowWhattuhMean ? !! So allright ! Thanks for the best Drone Reviews on the planet ! Wulfy
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.
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!
Good god.. It looks like the ad I kept seeing on Facebook.. I thought it was a scam... It's not that expensive if you think about it! It still can do a lot and the durability is a big factor!! Really cool drone
You want this one. 10 times better..I built it. Lol selling for 700 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7tjm7lRCns4.html 120mph 10 mile range. Dji version
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!
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7tjm7lRCns4.html better and I build you one for 500 analog or 700 for djiru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7tjm7lRCns4.html
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
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.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7tjm7lRCns4.html
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?
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.
Nice review of a great drone! Not cheap, but not as expensive as the earlier Urban Splash drone. Word of caution: when you change the battery, make sure the strap is not sticking out of the cover, the drone will definitely not be waterproof! (As seen at 14.35) And I'd rinse off and blow dry the motors after dipping it in the sea, they may be rustproof but they'll still collect salt from the seawater.
This is the best.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7tjm7lRCns4.html flys way faster..way longer..GPS. dji..ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7tjm7lRCns4.html
Bought an Air2 couple months ago, but hand on heart Captain.... I might just have gone for this if I'd seen it first.... Even though im totally happy with the DJI... great vid, keep em coming 👍
I had this, won it in a giveaway a few months back. I really had no use for it even though Michigan has alot of lakes, I rarely venture out much to the lakes. I ended up trading it to Jack Chrome for a bunch of micro fpv stuff. In his review he wasn't really impressed with the camera for the price of the drone. So really unless you live on the water or just have alot of money to waste, it might be worth it for you. It was the first time I won anything in my 56 years of life. I'm really happy with my micros. Great review btw, you always cover all the bases.
@@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: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--WvX3F6Bqig.html
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.
@@fpvpilot7713 my friend built the DJI/Analog capable version waterproof drone. Check out his link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7tjm7lRCns4.html
Thank you for the demo on how not to change the battery. The strap of the battery needs to be completely inside the compartment. On the video a small part was hanging out and therefore the compartment was not longer water tight. I am sure that was an oversight but something to pay attention to when changing the battery.
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 RU-vid 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.
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
@@hazipurhighschool8882 I don't get Your comment, probably something with my poor writing skills ,typing, spelling English was one more class along with keyboarding that I got well a not free ,really a very expensive pass on ,And still got that Diploma HHS go Rams,or Hilltoppers, I was educated in every thing u Don't want your child around Much less Educated in those subjects
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
Hey Steve, I saw the follow speed in the specs it said 10/ms wow , I wonder what that is ,mph wow how cool, the little short video on web sight, shows it actually, divining down in the water 💧 like a submerged drone. Thank you
This drone would be perfect for older people or beginners not for everyone but I am sure it would please a lot of people unfortunately the price is rather high but someone who wants a great go to quick easy waterproof durable flyer this would check all the boxes and certainly put a smile on your face
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. 🤣🤣
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7tjm7lRCns4.html this version is bad ass.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7tjm7lRCns4.html
@@KarmaFB Its name is Bumper Drone HD made by Silverlit company... It captures photos and record videos at 0.3 megapixels. It is one of the best budget drone!
Fascinating drone, waterproof would be fantastic! When changing the battery at 14:31, the strap got pinched into the seal, guess that would have some impact on the sealing.
this drone seems very cool...not sure the tech for long range for flying video is up to par vs newer one though...i think the radio with the screen is a big plus
The Spry+ can do Flip. Just need to change the ACRO firmware. If you guys learn how to fly it good with ACRO firmware. You will surely love it. Note: professional pilot would like to use the ACRO remote to fly the Spry+ with ACRO firmware.
built in display ! i'm sold ! I hate fiddling around with apps and crap. GReat intro this looks pretty fun, if there are more hybrid drones or unusual ones please review them :) -
That bird at the first of the video was photobombing the check out of you ....lol ..Looks like a great drone .As usual , great video ....see ya next time ...
