The SwellPro BR1-S brings this technique to drone fishing, allowing you to:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAttract fish to saved GPS spots:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drop burley precisely over a productive reef, channel or gutter you've already scouted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHold fish in the zone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep target species feeding in a small area, increasing your hookup rate when you deploy rigged baits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScout before committing rigs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-bait a new spot, wait 10–15 minutes, then deploy your hooks when fish move in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-spot strategy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-bait several locations in sequence, then return to the most productive zone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the BR1-S Bait Release Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR1-S is a \u003cstrong\u003emechanical rotating container\u003c\/strong\u003e that attaches to the SplashDrone 4's payload mounting system. You fill the 60 mm × 50 mm bait chamber with loose burley before takeoff, fly to your saved GPS position, then remotely trigger the release via the SplashDrone 4 controller. The container rotates 90°, dumping the bait contents precisely where you want them. The mechanism resets automatically, ready for the next flight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIP67 Waterproof \u0026amp; Stainless Steel Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR1-S is rated \u003cstrong\u003eIP67 waterproof\u003c\/strong\u003e—fully sealed against dust and protected against temporary immersion in water up to 1 metre for 30 minutes.

Using an incorrect charger risks overcharging (fire hazard), undercharging (reduced flight time), or cell imbalance (battery failure mid-flight).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDedicated 6S LiPo balance charging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatically charges to 25.2 V maximum (4.2 V per cell × 6 cells) with integrated cell-balancing circuitry to equalize individual cell voltages for maximum capacity and safety\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable charging current (0.5–8 A):\u003c\/strong\u003e Select slow charging (0.5–2 A) for extended battery lifespan or fast charging (6–8 A) for rapid turnaround between fishing sessions—maximum flexibility for different usage scenarios\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual independent battery ports:\u003c\/strong\u003e Charge two Fisherman MAX batteries simultaneously at different current settings, or use one port while the other monitors a battery's health via the battery-check function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e200 W maximum power output:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-power charging supports up to 8 A current without overheating—fastest genuine SwellPro charger for the Fisherman MAX platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery-check function:\u003c\/strong\u003e Test individual cell voltages, total pack voltage, and cell balance status without initiating a charge cycle—essential for pre-flight battery health verification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUniversal 100–240 V AC input:\u003c\/strong\u003e Works with Australian 240 V mains and international voltages (suitable for travel or imported power systems)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLED status indicators:\u003c\/strong\u003e Real-time display of charge progress, cell balance activity, and fault warnings for each battery port independently\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComprehensive safety protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Over-current, over-temperature, reverse-polarity, and short-circuit protection prevent damage to battery or charger in fault conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDual Battery Ports: Simultaneous Charging \u0026amp; Battery Health Checks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FD2 charger's dual ports operate independently, allowing flexible multi-battery workflows:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSimultaneous charging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Connect two Fisherman MAX batteries and charge both at the same time (e.g., Battery 1 at 6 A fast charge, Battery 2 at 4 A balanced charge).

This is not a feature advantage — it is a necessity. The original FD1's integrated camera gimbal assembly and associated electronics add meaningful weight to the airframe, which demands a higher-energy battery to deliver acceptable flight times for fishing missions. The larger 6500mAh pack compensates for the heavier aircraft, providing sufficient flight time for practical bait deployments and ocean fishing missions despite the additional hardware weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe consequence is that the original FD1 carries less available payload capacity than the camera-free FD1+ and FD3 models, since a portion of the drone's total lift capability is used by its own heavier airframe.

Each position is commanded separately from the transmitter — the pilot decides when and where each bait drops. The two positions are \u003cem\u003enot\u003c\/em\u003e released simultaneously; they operate independently, on separate pilot commands, at different moments during the same flight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom one battery charge, you can now execute two separate bait placements: position one at reef edge A, position two at channel edge B, with the drone flying between them and releasing on command.

It is highly effective — but every additional bait placement costs another full flight cycle, burning another battery charge and consuming more of the session window. When fish are actively feeding, wasted time between drops matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dual Bait Release removes that constraint. Two baits go out on one flight. Two separate drops happen on two independently commanded positions. The drone returns to hand with an empty release unit, ready for reload — rather than needing to turn around after just a single drop. For anglers who fish with two rods, share the drone between multiple people in the same session, or rely on a pre-baiting strategy before dropping a rigged bait, the Dual Bait Release is a fundamental upgrade to how drone fishing is conducted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe key point is worth reinforcing: the two positions are \u003cstrong\u003eindependently controlled\u003c\/strong\u003e. You hover the drone at location A and command position one — bait one drops. You then fly to location B and command position two — bait two drops. The interval and distance between the two drops is entirely your choice: seconds apart or minutes apart, metres apart or hundreds of metres apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThree Fishing Strategies the Dual Release Makes Possible\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStrategy 1 — Pre-Bait First, Rigged Bait Second in One Flight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLoad a burley parcel, chum bomb or berley cage into position one of the Dual Bait Release, and your main rigged bait into position two. Fly to the target zone — a reef edge, a deepwater channel, a bommie system — and release the burley first. It sinks and begins dispersing scent and particles into the current, creating a corridor that drifts down-current toward feeding fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWithout landing, without reloading, and without burning a second battery, fly to your desired bait-drop position — which might be the same GPS coordinate or 50–80 m down-current where the berley trail is already drifting — and release the rigged bait from position two directly into the chum lane you just created. Fish following the scent corridor up-current encounter your rigged bait right in the slick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis technique is among the most effective known strategies for offshore snapper, mulloway and yellowtail kingfish. Getting a rigged bait into the slick immediately behind fresh berley — without a second flight or a second battery — is a meaningful tactical advantage. Without the Dual Bait Release, it requires two separate flights and at least two battery cycles. With it, it happens in one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStrategy 2 — Two Bait Drops to Two Separate Locations in One Flight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLoad two separately rigged baits — different presentations, different species of bait, or simply the same rig in two places — and use a single flight to cover two different structures or two different positions on the same structure. Fly to reef edge A and command position one. Fly 100–200 m to channel edge B and command position two. Fly home. Both rods are now in the water, covering two distinct areas simultaneously, on one battery charge and one flight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor anglers fishing remote beaches or headlands where carrying extra batteries is impractical, this approach effectively doubles the number of baits deployed per session without doubling battery consumption. If you are fishing with a mate, each angler gets their bait deployed in the same flight window — halving the time spent waiting between drops. The geographic flexibility is significant: the two positions can be a few metres apart or several hundred metres apart. The drone flies between them in the same flight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStrategy 3 — Test Two Presentations Simultaneously\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLoad a different bait or rig into each position and deploy both to approximately the same location in the same flight — for example, a snapper ledge or reef edge. Drop a live yakka (yellowtail scad) from position one. Fly 20 seconds and 30 m further, drop a dead whole pilchard rig from position two. Both presentations are now fishing simultaneously in the same general area. The first rod to receive a bite tells you what the fish want on that particular day, tide and season — without needing a separate flight for each test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApply the same logic to sinker weights (heavy vs. light, to determine which holds better in the current), hook styles (circle vs. J), or bait species. Rather than making separate flights over a session to trial different approaches, you can run side-by-side comparisons two at a time. For species like yellowtail kingfish — which can be selective on live versus dead presentations depending on conditions — or snapper that favour squid over pilchard on certain tides, this kind of simultaneous A\/B testing is genuinely useful, not just theoretically efficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWaterproof Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP67\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Total Payload Capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75 × 50 × 37.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRelease Positions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 (independently controlled)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow Battery Payload Release\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAvailable; disabled by default in the SwellPro app\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Models\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFisherman FD1+, Fisherman MAX (FD2), Fisherman FD3, SplashDrone 4+ (SD4+)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNOT Compatible\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOriginal Fisherman FD1 (first-generation)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual Bait Release × 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e3.5 kg Total Payload Capacity — Enough for Two Serious Bait Rigs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3.5 kg total payload capacity covers the combined weight of both release positions — both baits, both sinkers, both traces and all clips and swivels combined must not exceed 3.5 kg. There is no specified per-position limit; the critical figure is the combined total.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice, two drone fishing rigs with baits and sinkers typically weigh between 0.5 kg and 2.0 kg combined — well within the 3.5 kg limit even on the heavier end of standard fishing setups. A demanding dual configuration — a whole bonito on a 10\/0 circle hook with a 150 g running sinker in position one, plus a large mullet with 100 g of lead in position two — would sit at roughly 1.5–2.0 kg combined, still leaving substantial headroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3.5 kg total capacity also aligns precisely with the Fisherman MAX (FD2)'s confirmed maximum payload rating. When the Dual Bait Release is fitted to the MAX, the drone's lifting limit and the release unit's capacity are perfectly matched — no capacity is wasted in either direction. The combination of SwellPro's heaviest drone and its largest-capacity bait release unit gives you the most capable drone fishing platform in the SwellPro range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIP67 Waterproofing — Same Rating as the Drone\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dual Bait Release is rated \u003cstrong\u003eIP67 waterproof\u003c\/strong\u003e, matching the IP67 certification of the compatible SwellPro Fisherman series drones. IP67 certifies protection against complete immersion in up to one metre of water for thirty minutes. For a component that regularly contacts salt water — surf launches, wave spray on retrieval, wet beach landings in dumping swell — this is the correct standard for the conditions drone fishing demands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice: a surf launch where the drone briefly touches a breaking wave, a retrieve through heavy spray, or a landing on wet sand in a strong swell — none of these events will compromise an IP67-sealed release unit. The electronics, servo mechanism and connectors inside remain protected regardless of incidental water contact during normal fishing operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaintain this protection by using only genuine SwellPro bait release components on your Fisherman series drone. The drone itself is sealed to IP67; fitting a lower-rated accessory at the payload interface creates a vulnerability in otherwise fully sealed equipment.

When enabled in the SwellPro app, this feature automatically releases both payloads if the drone's battery voltage drops to a critically low level mid-flight. The logic is straightforward: a heavy combined payload in a low-battery situation may prevent the drone from completing a return-to-home flight safely. Releasing the payload immediately and significantly reduces the drone's power demand, giving it the best possible chance of returning to the operator on the remaining battery capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis feature is disabled by default in the SwellPro app.\u003c\/strong\u003e The operator must actively enable it in the settings.

Surf launches, unexpected dunkings and heavy salt spray are all within its operating envelope. The airframe, motors, ESCs and all onboard electronics are sealed against water ingress, allowing you to launch from the shoreline without compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaximum \u003cstrong\u003ewind resistance of 18 m\/s (35 knots)\u003c\/strong\u003e means the Fisherman MAX can hold station and execute a clean bait drop in conditions that would push a consumer camera drone off course. The maximum tilt angle of 25° gives the flight controller meaningful authority to compensate for coastal gusts while keeping the heading toward the drop zone.

Dual-constellation positioning provides more satellites in view at any given time — faster lock-on, better accuracy along cliff faces and headlands with partial sky obstruction, and more reliable hold-position performance when satellite geometry is poor. For drone fishing, positioning accuracy at the moment of bait release is critical: a drift of even five to ten metres can mean landing your bait in sand instead of on the reef edge you were targeting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFull Technical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWaterproof Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP67\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrone Weight (incl. battery)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.78 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnfolded Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e522 × 522 × 192 mm (without propellers)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFolded Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e306 × 266 × 192 mm (without propellers)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Payload\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Flight Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 30 minutes (no wind, no load — supplier test conditions)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Flight Distance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 km\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Image Transmission Distance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.2 km\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Flight Speed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 m\/s (ATTI mode) \/ 10 m\/s (GPS mode)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Ascent Speed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 m\/s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Descent Speed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 m\/s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Tilt Angle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Wind Resistance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 m\/s \/ 35 knots\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHovering Precision\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e±0.5 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePositioning System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGPS + Galileo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4114, 400 Kv\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eESC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePropellers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e#1655 carbon fibre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e−10°C to 40°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBattery Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCapacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4,500 mAh\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVoltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22.2 V (6S)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChemistry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6S LiPo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e219 × 119 × 65 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,255 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximate Charge Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80 minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Charging Current\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fisherman MAX uses a dedicated \u003cstrong\u003e4,500 mAh 6S LiPo (Lithium Polymer)\u003c\/strong\u003e battery — a different chemistry from the 6S LiHV (Lithium High Voltage) cells used in the Fisherman FD1+ and FD3.

With a 1.5 km maximum flight distance and a 3.5 kg payload, the Fisherman MAX can place a whole-pilchard gang, a rigged livebait or a large dead-bait rig precisely on structure that would otherwise require a boat. The GPS return-to-home function means you focus on the rod — not the drone — the moment the bait is in the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYellowfin and Longtail Tuna\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYellowfin and longtail tuna feeding on baitfish schools will often ignore smaller presentations but slam a large, naturally presented whole bait. The FD2's payload capacity allows you to carry a whole garfish, a large slimy mackerel or a small frigate mackerel rigged beneath a livebait float, dropping it directly into a feeding school 800 m or more from shore. The 18 m\/s wind resistance is particularly valuable here — coastal tuna fishing often coincides with stiff onshore breezes that would compromise a lighter drone's stability and bait-placement accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSharks and Giant Trevally\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTargeting bronze whalers, bull sharks or giant trevally (GTs) from beach or headland locations requires large, high-scent whole baits — a whole bonito, a large mullet or a fresh tailor — often with significant lead to sink and hold position in current. Combined bait weight, sinker and trace on a serious shark rig can easily reach 1.5–2 kg, leaving comfortable headroom within the MAX's 3.5 kg capacity.

Always test-hover near shore with your full rig attached before deploying offshore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePayload note:\u003c\/strong\u003e SwellPro's marketing materials reference both 2.0 kg (technical specification) and 2.2 kg (marketing copy) payload figures.

Fitting standard-size propellers to the MAX would leave it unable to reach rated payload capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarbon fibre construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Higher stiffness and impact resistance than standard plastic propellers, holding up to repeated heavy-payload flights and Australian saltwater conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuick threaded mounting system:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screw-on design for fast field replacement without special tools beyond the standard propeller wrench\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge diameter and pitch for heavy-lift performance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 406mm length and 140mm pitch matched exactly to the MAX's thrust requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLightweight despite size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Just 90g per pair, minimising the weight penalty of the larger blade design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e #1655\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 406 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch:\u003c\/strong\u003e 140 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90 g per pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carbon fibre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fisherman MAX (FD2) only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to Replace\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVisible chips, cracks or delamination on the blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBent or warped blades following a hard landing on sand or rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased vibration or reduced thrust under heavy payload\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower off the drone and remove the battery before servicing.
