To enter the Boat mode:
1.

2.
For landing on the water, lock the drone and wait for the

3.
Switch the drone to GPS or ATTI mode.
4.
Arm the drone by using the inward gesture.
5.
Press the BOAT button on the remote controller.

Boat mode application:
For underwater photography and underwater search, use
SwellPro gimbal cameras and an extension bar. For fish
searching, use SwellPro fish finder Dronar 01.
For overwater photography, use SwellPro gimbal cameras and
the Gimbal Overhead Kits.
Boat mode can ONLY be used when the drone equips with
SwellPro Boat Mode Kit (BKT). DO NOT use the Boat mode
without the floating foams. Using Boat mode on the water
without floating foams can result in serious damages to the
propellers and motors.
When using Boat mode on the water, be careful of the
landing gear and other attached accessories getting caught on
weed or other debris to prevent the drone from flying. Be aware
of the weeds and other debris to prevent the landing gear and
other attached accessories from getting caught by them,
which can cause the drone not to be able to move or take off.
