If your Swellpro Splash Drone 4 and remote controller won't pair

About Pairing

The remote controller and the aircraft are paired at the factory before shipping. There is NO NEED to pair them for your first use. After turning on, the aircraft and the remote controller will pair in 2 minutes. It might take extra time to pair depending on the signal interference of the environment.

⚠️ONLY pair the remote controller for the following condition: After turning on the aircraft and the remote controller for more than 5 minutes, the remote controller signal status bar still shows the Unpair sign.

To ensure the pairing process is successful:

Please strictly follow the steps to pair.
Please ensure that you are able to see the light indicator at the bottom of the aircraft. If you can’t see the light indicator, please take off the bottom plate so that you are able to see it.
Please use a timer to count the time needed to press the pair button.

💡 The pair button is delicate. Press the pair button gently to prevent unexpected damage to the button.

Identify SN Number

Before pairing, look for the SN number inside the aircraft battery compartment:

For SN number ending with V01

To pair

Turn over the aircraft and place it on the carrying case. Unscrew and take off the bottom plate.
Turn on both the aircraft and remote control. Wait for 1 minute until the right LED light turns from flashing to solid.
Long press the pair button for 10 seconds. (Do not press shorter than 10 seconds) The right LED will start flashing. *If the right LED does not flash, please repeat the step until the right LED starts flashing.
Wait for 1 minute until both the left and right LED turn solid. The reset process is complete.
Now, long press the aircraft’s pair button for 5-10 seconds. (Do not press shorter than 5 seconds) The right LED will start flashing. *If the right LED does not flash, please repeat the step until the right LED starts flashing.
Quick press the remote control’s pair button twice. The left and right LED will flash alternatively.
- *If the left and right LED do not flash alternatively in 10 seconds, please repeat this step again until the left and right LED flash alternatively.
- *If the left LED does not flash and the right LED has already turned solid. Please repeat the pairing process again from step 1.
The pairing process can take up to 3 minutes. When the pairing process is complete, the right LED will turn from flashing to solid, and the left LED will stay flashing. The remote controller will prompt “Aircraft initializing, please wait”.
Assemble the bottom plate back, turn over the aircraft and place it on a level surface. The “Aircraft initializing, please wait” prompt will disappear in 30 seconds, and you are now ready to fly.

If the pairing process does not succeed, please try to pair it again from step 1.

For SN number ending since V02 (V02, V03, V04 ... etc)

To pair

Turn over the aircraft and place it on the carrying case. Unscrew and take off the "USB/Pairing Button" plate.
Turn on both the aircraft and remote control. Wait for 1 minute until the right LED light turns from flashing to solid. *If the aircraft and remote control are turned on beforehand, please restart both the aircraft and the remote controller.
Long press the pair button for 10 seconds. (Do not press shorter than 10 seconds) The right LED will start flashing. *If the right LED does not flash, please repeat the step until the right LED starts flashing.
Wait for 1 minute until both the left and right LED turn solid. The reset process is complete.
Now, long press the aircraft’s pair button for 3-5 seconds. (Do not exceed 5 seconds) The right LED will start flashing. *If the right LED does not flash, please repeat the step until the right LED starts flashing.
Quick press the remote control’s pair button twice. The left and right LED will flash alternatively.
- If the left and right LED do not flash alternatively in 10 seconds, please repeat this step again until the left and right LED flash alternatively.
- *If the left LED does not flash and the right LED has already turned solid. Please repeat the pairing process again from step 1.
The pairing can take up to 3 minutes. When the pairing process is complete, the right LED will turn from flashing to solid, and the left LED will stay flashing. The remote controller will prompt “Aircraft initializing, please wait”.
Assemble the bottom plate back, turn over the aircraft and place it on a level surface. The “Aircraft initializing, please wait” prompt will disappear in 30 seconds, and you are now ready to fly.

If the pairing process does not succeed, please try to pair it again from step 1.

Waterproof backpack

The only thing waterproof is the material. The backpack literally does not zip up all the way which isn’t a big deal since the drone is gonna get wet. The thing that is a big deal is that the basic stuff you take to dive a drone doesn’t fit in the somewhat waterproof bag. You either leave the reel out or the drone and you’re gonna have to carry something in your hand. The hard case is stupidly overpriced and you typically have that worry of “is this gonna be an overpriced pile of trash”. So, do I buy or no?

Great service

Lightning fast shipping and better prices than the factory store.

Chasing M2 Pro Max - A Great Tool for Underwater Archeology

The Wisconsin Underwater Archeology Association recently purchased a Chasing M2 Pro Max for our fieldwork in Lake Michigan. We already had used the Chasing Gladius Mini S with excellent results and were looking to upgrade our depth and accessory abilities. The M2 Pro Max certainly filled the bill. It more that doubled our depth ability to over 600 ft. and will enable us to mount a sector scanning sonar for measuring deep objects.

When we unboxed the M2 Pro Max, we immediately noticed its high quality, sturdy build and its many accessory ports. It ships in a very nice hard-shell case with plenty of room in its molded foam interior. The eReel was a particularly nice accessory, as it takes away the need to have a person constantly feeding and retrieving the tether.

The unit is also easy to use. We had it powered up, connected and working within 20 minutes and we were stunned by the resolution of its onboard camera and the brightness of the 4000 lumen floodlights.

The Chasing software installed easily on our tablet and was also very intuitive. We are looking forward to deploying this unit during our remote sensing fieldwork this summer. It saves us from having to suit up an dive every target we see on the sidescan sonar. With Chasing ROVs, we can hover over a deep target and check it out within minutes to determine if it is archeologically significant.

Lastly, Chasing ROVs are among the most cost effective units in their marketplace. We could have spend five times as much money for a unit that was essentially functionally equivalent. Chasing ROVs are quickly developing a solid reputation due to their responsive support department, online user community and continuous improvements to their offerings. We highly recommend them.

so far every thing is great it came faster then I expected that was a plus. I'm still reading the manual and then I will rate agin.
