Chasing Dory – Portable Underwater Drone with 1080p Camera and 15m Dive Depth
The compact and portable Chasing Dory is an easy-to-use underwater drone that records Full HD video and dives to 15 meters. You control it from your smartphone, and it includes a floating Wi‑Fi buoy that stores footage and tracks the drone’s position with built-in GPS. Chasing Dory suits both recreational users who don’t have a diving certificate and professionals or boat owners who need a simple, affordable inspection tool.
Designed for effortless underwater filming and inspection
Chasing Dory combines a Full HD (1080p) camera with a fast f/1.6 lens and dual front-mounted LED headlamps to capture clear footage in varied light conditions. The drone is small and lightweight, making it easy to carry and deploy without specialist equipment. Its intuitive smartphone app displays a live video feed so you can see what Dory sees in real time and adjust settings while you operate.
Control, connectivity and safety features
You operate Dory through a smartphone app using a wireless Wi‑Fi connection between your phone and the floating signal buoy. The buoy communicates with the drone via a durable 15 meter signal cable. It also stores video files and photos, and its built‑in GPS records the drone’s position. If the drone goes out of sight, the buoy can send an alarm to help you locate it.
Precision movement and framing
Five propellers control Dory’s movement: two handle forward/backward motion and sideways steering, while three adjust dive depth and dive angle. The propeller layout and app functionality let you lock the tilt at +/- 45 degrees. This tilt lock keeps the camera pointed downward toward the seabed or upward toward a hull while the drone continues horizontal movement. Dory also supports a depth lock so it can hover steadily at a chosen depth for stable filming or inspection.
App features and media handling
The Chasing Dory app is available for both iOS and Android. It delivers a live video feed and includes 19 built‑in filters for different image effects. You can save footage to the buoy’s storage and share videos and photos on social media directly from your device.
Portability and power
Weighing only 1.3 kg, Chasing Dory is easy to carry and deploy from shore or a boat. The battery provides about 1 hour of operation and the charging time is approximately 2 hours. The drone ships with a protective case; a tailored backpack is available separately as an accessory for transport and storage.
