Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum bait payload of the SwellPro FD1-S?›
The FD1-S can carry payloads weighing up to 2.2 kg (4.8 lbs). This makes it ideal for dropping large baits, heavy leads and multi-hook fishing rigs well beyond conventional casting distance.
Is the FD1-S waterproof?›
Yes. The aircraft has an IP67 waterproof rating, allowing it to operate in rain, salt spray and demanding coastal environments. It also floats on water and features corrosion-resistant components designed specifically for marine use.
Can the FD1-S land on water?›
Yes. The buoyant waterproof airframe allows the drone to land safely on the water when required. If it becomes inverted, the integrated PowerFlip™ function helps return the aircraft to an upright position for take-off from the water.
How far can the FD1-S carry bait?›
The FD1-S offers a maximum control and transmission distance of up to 1.3 km in ideal conditions. Actual bait drop distance will vary depending on weather, line drag, payload weight and local flying regulations.
Does the FD1-S include a camera?›
The standard FD1-S is designed as a dedicated bait delivery drone and does not include an integrated camera. Optional FPV camera kits are available, allowing you to view a live video feed while positioning your bait.
How does the bait release system work?›
The payload release is operated directly from the remote controller. Fly to your chosen fishing location, then activate the release switch to drop your bait accurately and safely onto the target area.
How long does the battery last?›
The intelligent IB4+ battery provides up to 29 minutes of hover time in ideal conditions without a payload. Actual flight time will vary depending on payload weight, wind conditions and flight style.
What happens if the signal is lost?›
The FD1-S includes an automatic Return-to-Home (RTH) function. If the control signal is lost or the battery reaches a critical level, the aircraft will automatically return towards its recorded take-off point where conditions allow.
Can I buy spare batteries and accessories?›
Yes. We stock a full range of genuine SwellPro accessories, including intelligent batteries, propellers, payload release systems, FPV camera kits, chargers and replacement parts.
Do I need a licence to fly the FD1-S in the UK?›
Yes. The SwellPro FD1-S weighs over 250 g, so you'll need to comply with UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) regulations. This typically includes registering as a drone operator and obtaining the appropriate flyer credentials where required. Always fly within the relevant CAA rules and maintain visual line of sight unless operating under an appropriate authorisation.
Is the remote controller waterproof?›
No. While the aircraft itself is IP67 waterproof, the supplied remote controller is not waterproof. It should always be protected from heavy rain, splashing and immersion during use.
