Dory, the cute name fits perfectly with this small underwater drone from manufacturer Chasing. Smaller than an A4 paper and easy to transport in a backpack. With Full HD video, a bright lens and two 250 lumen lamps. Can be submerged up to 15 meters deep. You can easily control this drone with your smartphone or tablet.

Wifi buoy in connection with your smartphone or tablet

To control the Dory, you use your own smartphone or tablet with a special app. This connects you to a buoy. The underwater drone is connected to the floating buoy with a 15 meter long cable. You can then use the app to let the drone dive to a maximum of 15 meters. You can tilt the drone 45 degrees under water, so that you can film towards the water surface and also let the sun come back nicely in your images. Tilt the drone 45% down if you want to image the bottom. Do you want to fly the drone at a fixed depth? You can also set that in the app. The operation is very simple. It is recommended to use the Dory in calm water. Plug, splash and play!

Further and deeper?

Is 15 meters deep and far not enough? Dory's big brother is called the Gladius MINI 4K Underwater Drone. It can go up to 100 meters deep and far. This drone is connected by a cable to the base station on the shore. The base station provides the connection to the controller and your smartphone. This drone also offers 4k video and more powerful lamps (each 1200 lumens) that are continuously dimmable. The flight time of that drone is 2 hours. The Gladius MINI offers extras in various areas.
