Chasing F1 Pro – Surface Drone with Rotatable Underwater Camera and GPS Spot Marking
The CHASING F1 Pro is a purpose-built water surface drone designed for fishing enthusiasts who want live underwater viewing, accurate spot marking and GPS-assisted return. It combines a rotatable underwater camera, built-in sensors and multi-directional surface control to help you find and monitor fishing spots efficiently.
Key features at a glance
- Rotatable CHASING underwater camera with wide viewing angles: 27.5° upward, 75° downward and 360° horizontal control.
- Full HD starlight lens for 1080P video and two-megapixel photos.
- Built-in Sony STARVIS sensor and 6 floodlights for low-light imaging.
- Automatic cable reel for smooth deployment and retrieval of the camera without tangles.
- Built-in GPS for position keeping, marking multiple fishing spots, automatic cruising between spots and one-click return.
- Four vector thrusters enable multi-directional movements on the water surface.
- Replaceable 4800mAh lithium battery designed for extended fishing sessions.
- Control via the CHASING APP or optional remote controller within 30 m / 60 m effective Wi‑Fi distance.
How it helps you fish better
First, you can control the camera direction from the APP or the optional controller and watch the live angle on your screen. The camera streams image, depth and temperature data back to the APP in real time over Wi‑Fi, so you can assess conditions and fish activity as it happens.
Second, use the built-in GPS to mark multiple fishing spots. The drone can hold position, cruise automatically between saved spots, perform automatic bait release and return to a preset point if it moves beyond the controller signal range.
Third, the F1 Pro gets you on target quickly. The water surface drone’s four vector thrusters and responsive controls let you locate fishing spots fast within the 30 m or 60 m control range. Setup is fast too: the system completes setup in 30 seconds and is ready to operate in less than a minute.
Camera, imaging and stability
The CHASING rotatable camera uses an arc streamlined design to reduce hydraulic resistance and limit the effect of currents. It also integrates EIS electronic image stabilization to deliver steadier underwater footage. You can change the pan and tilt from the APP or controller and capture every underwater moment in real time.
The camera supports Full HD video and two-megapixel photos, and it combines STARVIS technology with six floodlights to improve low-light performance. Under dim-light conditions the night visual range is approximately 2 meters.
Design and operation details
The F1 Pro has a built-in automatic cable reel that lets you raise or lower the camera smoothly via the APP without tangles. The replaceable battery design lets you swap batteries for long-time fishing. Built-in sensors report image, depth and temperature directly to the APP so you can monitor what’s happening below the surface.
The drone operates across a specified temperature range and supports maximum camera working depth and Wi‑Fi control ranges as listed below. A newly developed Care Mode in the upgraded APP provides more intuitive interactions for easier operation.

FAQ
question: How do I control the Chasing F1 Pro and what range can I expect?
Answer: You can control the F1 Pro via the CHASING APP or an optional remote controller. The product specifies effective Wi‑Fi control distances of 30 meters or 60 meters, depending on the configuration. The APP also shows live camera angle, depth and temperature readings in real time.
question: How long does the battery last and can I extend operating time?
Answer: The F1 Pro uses a 4800 mAh replaceable lithium battery that can work up to 6 hours. The listed runtime range is 4–6 hours, and the replaceable battery design allows you to swap in a fresh battery for longer sessions.
question: What imaging performance can I expect in low light or moving water?
Answer: The camera uses a Full HD starlight lens with a Sony STARVIS sensor and six floodlights to improve low-light imaging. The arc streamlined camera design and EIS (electronic image stabilization) reduce hydraulic resistance and stabilize the image when currents are present.
question: Can the drone mark and return to fishing spots automatically?
Answer: Yes. The built-in GPS lets the drone keep position, mark multiple fishing spots, cruise automatically between them, perform automatic bait release and execute one-click return. It will also automatically return to a preset point if it exceeds the controller's signal range.
question: How fast is setup and is the operation user friendly?
Answer: Setup takes about 30 seconds and the system is ready to operate in under a minute. The upgraded APP provides a user-friendly interface and includes a Care Mode for more intuitive interactions.
