As SwellPro's flagship heavy-lift fishing drone, the Fisherman MAX is engineered around a single core capability: carrying the largest practical bait load to the furthest practical distance, and bringing the drone safely home every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a confirmed \u003cstrong\u003eIP67 waterproof rating\u003c\/strong\u003e, a maximum payload of \u003cstrong\u003e3.5 kg\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a flight time of \u003cstrong\u003eup to 30 minutes\u003c\/strong\u003e under supplier test conditions (no wind, no load), the FD2 sits at the top of the SwellPro Fisherman range. It is built for anglers chasing big fish in demanding environments — surf beaches, exposed headlands, offshore reef edges and open water — where a smaller or lighter drone simply will not get the job done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in \u003cstrong\u003eBasic\u003c\/strong\u003e (drone and controller) and \u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced\u003c\/strong\u003e (adds the GC1-M 4K camera and colour-display controller) packages, with options for extra batteries and propeller pairs, the Fisherman MAX can be configured to suit everything from the no-frills bait runner to the full-featured offshore operator who wants live video on every drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose the Fisherman MAX?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUnmatched Payload Capacity for Serious Drone Fishing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe number one reason Australian drone fishers move up to the Fisherman MAX is payload. A confirmed \u003cstrong\u003e3.5 kg maximum payload capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e means you can fly baits that would be impractical on a lighter drone: a whole bonito or frigate mackerel, a large mullet rigged on a 10\/0 circle hook with a heavy brass sinker in strong current, a ganged pilchard rig with a running ball sinker, or multiple bait compartments loaded into a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/swellpro-dual-bait-release-fisherman-fd1-plus-fd2-fd3\"\u003eSwellPro Dual Bait Release\u003c\/a\u003e for two separate presentations from a single flight. When big fish are responding to big baits deployed at distance, the MAX gives you the lift to make it happen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt to Handle Offshore Conditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fisherman MAX carries an \u003cstrong\u003eIP67 waterproof rating\u003c\/strong\u003e — meaning the drone is tested for complete immersion in up to one metre of water for thirty minutes. 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. Hovering precision of \u003cstrong\u003e±0.5 m\u003c\/strong\u003e means the bait lands where you intend it to — not where the wind puts it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDual-Constellation GPS + Galileo Positioning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fisherman MAX uses both \u003cstrong\u003eGPS and Galileo\u003c\/strong\u003e satellite constellations simultaneously. 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.

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. Pair it with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/swellpro-dual-bait-release-fisherman-fd1-plus-fd2-fd3\"\u003eSwellPro Dual Bait Release\u003c\/a\u003e to deploy a burley parcel ahead of the main rig — maximising the scent corridor without burning a second battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMulloway (Jewfish)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMulloway are ambush predators that hunt gutters, sandbanks and reef edges — often within reach of a drone from beach or estuary mouth. A live yellowfin bream, a large prawn gang or a whole tailor bait flown beyond the break and released precisely into the target gutter is a highly effective technique. The Fisherman MAX's GPS precision hold (±0.5 m) allows you to release directly above the structure, rather than drifting 30–50 m off-target in a running tide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAustralian Salmon and Big Flathead\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAustralian salmon school along surf beaches in autumn and winter, often responding best to large, fast-retrieved whole baitfish presentations. For flathead, the drone's precision hover lets you place a live prawn or small livebait in a specific snag or channel edge — the kind of targeted, repeatable presentation that is difficult to achieve even with a precise cast from the bank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRecreational Drone Fishing and CASA Regulations\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll recreational drone use in Australia — including drone fishing — is governed by the \u003cstrong\u003eCivil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA)\u003c\/strong\u003e.
