I am actually interested in an underwater drone, but not for any of the missions this drone provides (e.g., water sample, robot arm). I just want to use it to safely explore underwater caves in Florids springs. So I think this drone is probably overkill for me. But I looked at the prices and they are not ridiculously expensive.
Same here except I want to do underwater video of all the remarkable creatures down there. This way I can get close to an Australian box jellyfish without having to worry about getting stung and dying.
Can the battery be changed out with a charged one ??? Or do you have to charge it while in the machine. In other words can you go treasure hunting with several spare batterys, as I have heard that , with the lites on, with a currant, its only good for about one hour of operating time??!!
How long does that cord go out ? I want to use it for fishing off the beach and want to drop my bait far off. How much weight can it pull and does it have a return to home option? What’s the connection distance ?
Thanks for the nice video! I have a question: My Evo v6 Expert only records 4k30 in 3 minute chunks, but not as one large file. Is that normal? I am on latest firmware and am using the Lexar 128 GB SDCard that came with the rov preinstalled.
If your going to get a drone like this the GLADIUS MINI S is a much better price and so better over all. I own the Mini s my friend owned the drone in the video, he sold it and got the same drone I have now.
I live in California, and as you might not know we have huge waves. IF i buy this, If i run out into the surf can I toss this drone like a grenade pass the wave Break? Would it survive me tossing it and impacting the water? I saw you lowering it carefully makes me think otherwise. Also when retrieving it from the side of a a cliff would it survive bumping into a rock a couple times as i try to pull it up?
@benmallahsstockbroker3752 yea but it will surface or you'll habe to swim out w eithrr way the guy answered its not mesnt for rough water anyways so its useless for beach dives
Looks like FLA, to me! Loved Diving the Oceanside CA. Rock Jetty, after Midnight. Pulled dozens of Lobster dinners outta' there through the decades! I was a Marine Stationed at El Toro, Camp Pen, and MCRD San Diego. Isn't an inch of coastline that I missed from the Border to Santa Barbara, Catalina etc. Miss that now, as I spent 32 years in Mexifornia, and dove most of the Baja Peninsula! 1979, and the next 32 years. I do miss blowin' bubbles and getting high on the Reefs of SoCal, for sure! Explored most all by boat as well. A lot of it with my 2001 MacGregor 26X PowerSailor! Owned since new. Best Dive platform, bar none! Doin' the Right Coast now,, including FLA.1500+ dives....... and counting! Now I am older than the "Old School" dude in his vids! HA! Gotta get me one of those drones! Great reviews, and practical uses and content!
I wana give u challenge. Have u dare to explore the depth of "Bhim kund".it is situated in bhajna village of chatarpur distric madhya pradesh state of india.no one find the depth of this pond.its water level increased upto 20 feet during 2004 tsunami or nepal earthquake.many expert failed to find the reason behind that.thus place is 1000 km away from sea in central India.
Great rov for the $$. But trying to learn how to use all the features is going to be long task. The instruction manual provided is poorly written. Trying to get support online is just as informative as manual. A POS.
Wdym, drones only run for this amount of time usually, if not less. For its size and capabilities, I'd say one hour is great time for this kind of drone.
I’m gonna be lame and say I hate this thing. The inevitable disturbances and vandalism to underwater sites and landmarks that can be caused by something so accessible is scary.
I wouldn't launch it from the cable. Just get some rope with a wide hook and link it to the loop.... Launch then recover the rope. Or grab the hook with the claw, launch and release.
Or possibly go to one of the Big Box Hardware stores and get the same length "Plastic coated cable" they sell and swage it to the drone's handle I say! The 1/16" will easily work, and the smallest Cable Ties available, unless the manufacturer already somehow did that perhaps? I see a lost drone if that cable, they use, is gone when sheared by something, or snagged perhaps, and pulled on too hard possibly? Only thing I see as a weak point, but not knowing what it is, that is how I would protect that investment! The BIG question, is this thing neutrally buoyant or negatively buoyant, and at what depths?
Some one else said yes. But there were some precautions you should do. Need to find it again. Putting some grease i think around connections or something?

Great video, thank you. What kind of battery do you get with this drone and how long does it take to charge?
Thx Joe! Your video is so awesome!💥
Can the battery be changed out with a charged one ??? Or do you have to charge it while in the machine. In other words can you go treasure hunting with several spare batterys, as I have heard that , with the lites on, with a currant, its only good for about one hour of operating time??!!
Excellent review and commentary!
8:42....nice move....
Got mine a month ago.... Love this thing.
Awesome
How much are they
Can you let me know about maintenance.. is this thing long lasting or we have change parts time to time.?
This is incredible.
Does this work in salt water?
Love my FIFISH6 still learning how to use it definitely worth it
Can one add speargun for fishing to it
I was thinking bottle rockers for mini torpedoes 😅
Someone please answer this.. I am thinking of buying this drone and attaching a speargun. lol
Interesting..
In case of cable cut the drone will automatically go to surface or stay down?
Don't do that...
Hi Joe. Thx for sharing your expertise. Very complete analyse. It appears to be a very useful for some activities.😉
7:44 Imagine if the chain fell through the boards of the walkway and right back into the water 😂😂😂
So cool 😎
Yes the Fifish is incredible
How long does that cord go out ? I want to use it for fishing off the beach and want to drop my bait far off. How much weight can it pull and does it have a return to home option? What’s the connection distance ?
I love the Fifish Expert but enjoy the Evolution as it has the one-inch sensor and you might like to get one too!
Wait, you don’t have to use the cable right? Is it optional to use? Can you operate it freely without that attachment?
Not really, water blocks radio waves, that's why it's using cable.
Can you get harpoon attached on it
Thanks for the nice video! I have a question: My Evo v6 Expert only records 4k30 in 3 minute chunks, but not as one large file. Is that normal? I am on latest firmware and am using the Lexar 128 GB SDCard that came with the rov preinstalled.
Awesome FPV goggles well done well done
Teşekkür ederiz
I've looked on Amazon and such, and each time it says it doesn't ship to Canada. Is there a way to have this shipped to Canada?
Great underwater drone, how much is this?
about 2k usd
If your going to get a drone like this the GLADIUS MINI S is a much better price and so better over all. I own the Mini s my friend owned the drone in the video, he sold it and got the same drone I have now.
Any one knows how max depth can this drone resist?
Thanks for the video
claimed 100m / 300'
what does it cost for that setup
about 2k usd
Why didn't you use vr glasses?
I live in California, and as you might not know we have huge waves. IF i buy this, If i run out into the surf can I toss this drone like a grenade pass the wave Break? Would it survive me tossing it and impacting the water? I saw you lowering it carefully makes me think otherwise. Also when retrieving it from the side of a a cliff would it survive bumping into a rock a couple times as i try to pull it up?
That sounds too rough for the drone
Go under the waves genius
@benmallahsstockbroker3752 yea but it will surface or you'll habe to swim out w eithrr way the guy answered its not mesnt for rough water anyways so its useless for beach dives
How well is it protected from electric shock around boats and other objects that can produce a shock ? My question is a little far fetched 😅
What snorkels would you recommend for kids
8:42 me encanta el sonido 😅 por eso es el modelo v6 no? 😂
JOE ARE YOU LOCATED IN OCEANSIDE, CA?

I have this beautiful rov drone love it so much. I am looking for a job for this rov drone. I have like four accessories for my underwater drone.
Live feed, 720p of 1080p. ?????
Would be killer with a magnetic attachment
It’s 6 months later.. do you still feel the same about this drone?
10 grand with an arm and a couple other accessories. A little high for my tastes but I can see the uses it might pay off for.
Vendem para Portugal
this can find treasure ships that sunk many years ago.
$3000 usd?

Who can fix a cord for a fififish
Robotic arm Is literally$800But the retrieval hook Is only $80They're both exactly the same
319 Collins Springs
How small an object can be retrieved with this clamp ? This pendant is very large. Does anyone has experience retrieving phones, watches, jewellery ?
046 Schamberger Meadows
It would be great to have a metal detector on it and a longer arm.
9362 Gibson Creek
Yundt Harbor
433 Gorczany Crossing
3k or higher, so many other options
Won't be worth getting till they can lose the cable.
All drones like this have cables, its not really possible to make it without a cable if its not maned.
This amazing over 4 thousand dollar drone, its the price of a used vehicle. Not worth the money.
Can your used car do the same work as this drone?
Great rov for the $$. But trying to learn how to use all the features is going to be long task. The instruction manual provided is poorly written. Trying to get support online is just as informative as manual. A POS.
Lame it's has a wire connected to it
Its for safety reasons
V6 running time is around 1 hour. Trash battery
Wdym, drones only run for this amount of time usually, if not less. For its size and capabilities, I'd say one hour is great time for this kind of drone.
I’m gonna be lame and say I hate this thing. The inevitable disturbances and vandalism to underwater sites and landmarks that can be caused by something so accessible is scary.

Or grab the hook with the claw, launch and release.

Or possibly go to one of the Big Box Hardware stores and get the same length "Plastic coated cable" they sell and swage it to the drone's handle I say! The 1/16" will easily work, and the smallest Cable Ties available, unless the manufacturer already somehow did that perhaps?

Some one else said yes. But there were some precautions you should do.
Need to find it again. Putting some grease i think around connections or something?
