The best drone for fishing in 2024Boost your catch, with the best drone for fishing in lakes, rivers and the sea The best drone for fishing is one that uses a polarizing lens to look directly into the water and help you pick the perfect spot. Some special features can assist in the process further, such as SwellPro’s bait release systems. These can be controlled remotely, or simply through tension you apply to the line with the drone. Also, if you like to fish in one particular spot, creating a detailed satellite-style map is easy with a drone, which why we’ve included a number with good cameras on this list. When choosing the best drone for fishing, it’s a good idea to look at range – the maximum distance you can control the drone and still see a video signal back. Even if your national regulations don’t allow you to fly this far, it gives a good idea of the quality of the radio signal you can expect. If you've never flown a drone before, you might be worried about crashing it. Well, don't stress. Every drone on this list features GPS hover in at least one of the flight modes. That means you’ll be able to take off, fly around, and let go of the controls, with no worries that the aircraft will plummet from the sky. Collision avoidance sensors can also be found on pricier drones. - Also read: the best underwater drones.
The best drones for fishing in 2024Why you can trust Digital Camera World Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out how we test. 1. DJI Air 2SOur expert review: SpecificationsReasons to buy, reasons to avoid. If you’re able to take off from dry ground, this is a near perfect choice in terms of visual quality, with a 1080p livestream. There are plenty who would be jealous of this drone in the photography or cinematography space. While, like many, it isn't waterproof, the gimbal-stabilized camera can be directed straight down and has an easy filter attachment system, so it's possible to add a polarizing lens and penetrate the surface of a lake. The folding design makes it portable, and the propellors are relatively quiet. powerful motors mean it can make its way home in strong winds. DJI provides high quality charging tools and the control app is easy to use, even for beginners, while offering advanced features where required. The Air 2S also features an array of collision avoidance sensors, meaning you can fly through trees and it’ll plot a route around them rather than plough into them. For more details, see our DJI Air 2S review . 2. PowerVision PowerEgg X WizardPowerVision is known for its underwater drones, as well as this uniquely adaptable aerial one. It requires a little on-site assembly – especially if you’re using the waterproof housing and floating landing skids – but in exchange you have a reasonably powerful drone with a competitive battery life which can land on the surface of the water, and lift itself off again. PowerVision makes no specific claims for speed, but it’ll remain controllable in Beaufort Scale 5 winds, which isn’t to be sniffed at. The live view to a mobile phone (connected to the remote) gives a clear view of what the camera is seeing, and the app is reasonably intuitive. If you want to narrate your lake-mapping you can use your phone’s microphone to record your thoughts onto the video from the drone. The three-axis gimbal provides stable video and while the camera sensor is a standard 1 / 2.8 inch CMOS (like a typical phone), the picture is plenty sharp for fish finding. Then, if you change activities, you can take the drone body out of its arms and just use the ‘egg’ as a stabilized action camera – adaptable! For more details, see our Powervision PowerEgg X drone review . 3. SwellPro SplashDrone 4An IP67 waterproof drone built for the water? You bet. At over 2kg, with capacity for a load of about the same again (that’s around 25 pieces of bait on a line) the SplashDrone 4 is a powerful – if a little pricey – option. Especially when paired with the PL1-S bait release mechanism. The orange shell of the drone can float and take off from water; if it finds itself the wrong way up, it can even flip itself upright, which is stunning to watch. You get all the usual drone treats that a high-end consumer pilot would expect, including high-res live view and intelligent follow, thanks to the NaviFly app (note: you'll need a phone clipped atop the remote control). Plus there are delightful extras, like the bait release, more traditional feeling buttons and switches on the IP66-waterproof remote. SwellPro support their SplashDrone series of drones with a number of payload release mechanisms for “skytrolling,” so you can troll for fish up to 1.6km from the shore without a boat. 4. DJI Mini 2 SEThe DJI Mini SE was created as the entry-point to the leading drone manufacturer’s range. As such it might leave a few of the latest features out, and the camera’s 2.7K video recording irks some tech heads, but the 720P live video to the phone monitor is crisp and clean, especially now. The new DJI Mini SE 2, first shipping in 2023, hasn’t made any significant changes to that success story except an improvement to the radio system which to DJI’s O2 standard, giving it a range of 6.2 miles in the US, or 6000m (3.7m) in UK/EU markets, and improving the bit rate of the live preview. It also shares the same well maintained and easy-to-use software with other DJI drones, making it easy to learn. The camera gets a sharp image because it's on a gimbal, which also allows you to remotely tilt it to point down to the water. Crucially… drum roll please… the Mini is also just under the weight limit which requires registration. This means that if you’re in the USA, you won’t need to do any paperwork with the FAA. Check our DJI Mini SE vs Mini SE 2 comparison 5. SwellPRO Spry+This certainly looks like a piece of marine equipment, and for some the optional TrollSafe bait release tool this will be a must-have. It works when you fly your line out and it reaches a certain tension, releasing the bait and line. It’s also a very exciting drone, built on powerful motors. Sometimes this can be a little bit of an issue: GPS return to home can be a touch enthusiastic. But SwellPRO have made refinements to the design and software since the first edition. That’s good, because underneath there is the heart of an FPV racing drone . That means you get very low latency video feedback, and the option of goggles for FPV view, but on the downside the resolution you view on the monitor is not as high as the more photography-oriented drones like those from DJI. On the plus side, there's a color screen built into the remote control, which is waterproof. 6. Drone Sky HookWant a drone that can drop bait for you? This is forbidden in some countries, including the UK, but otherwise here's our top recommendation. Drone Sky Hook has made a number of variants of their Sky Hook to clip onto different DJI airframes, including the Mavic line all the way up to the 3, the Mavic Air series, and Phantom 4. The device is a rounded latch which, when activated, makes a turn, enough for anything dangling from it to be released. The trigger to activate the latch is a light sensor. This is positioned at the drone’s built in landing lights and the instructions tell you to assign one of your remote control keys to the lights. Failing that, two full anti-clockwise rotations can also trigger the release. The mechanism does slightly obscure the lower sensors on the Mavic 3, and undoubtedly would rule out a DJI Care Refresh claim, but the drone can still fly. The reduction on your overall flight time will depend on the weight, and the motors will be subject to some stress, but DJI also sell some accessories (like lights) so they are built to cope. Is drone fishing legal?The legality of drone fishing varies depending on where you are. It is important to check with your local authorities to find out the specific rules that apply in your area. For example, in the UK you're forbidden from dropping anything from drones, which effectively rules out any drone with a dropping mechanism, or an accessory like the Sky Hook. Assuming you’re not taking off in international waters, you’ll be bound by the rules of your local aviation authority. In the USA, that's the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). In the UK, it's the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). What are the benefits of using a drone for fishing?Drones can be used to scout for fish from the air, allowing you to target specific fish species or schools of fish. This also helps you fish more efficiently by reducing the time spent casting and retrieving lines. Drones can be used to cast bait and hooks into areas that are difficult or impossible to reach by traditional methods, such as deep water, reefs, or areas with overhanging vegetation (however, this may not be legal in specific areas, so always check the regulations). How do I choose a drone for fishingThere are a number of different drones that can be used for fishing, so choosing between them will depend largely on your specific needs. First, consider payload capacity: the drone should be able to carry the weight of your bait, hook, and line. Also think about how long you're likely to be out fishing on a given day, and how much battery life you'll need in a drone should have enough battery life to last for several hours of fishing. The drone will also have enough range to reach the areas you want to fish in. • Best indoor drones • Best camera drones • Best drones for kids • Best travel drones • The best drone accessories • Drone rules and regulations • Best waterproof camera • Best handheld GPS • Best head torch Get the Digital Camera World NewsletterThe best camera deals, reviews, product advice, and unmissable photography news, direct to your inbox!

New on YahooYahoo FinanceDrones in the deep: new applications for maritime uavs, innovative uses of drones in the maritime industry. In the maritime environment, drones can be used for security, environmental surveillance, to supply vessels with spare parts, for emergency missions, such as search and rescue, as well as for ship and cargo inspection. Yet, despite the many use cases, the technology does face some challenges, such as limited battery life and difficulty operating in poor weather. But original equipment manufacturers and major shippers are keen to improve the technology further and extend the reach and scope of what can be done with drones. Furthermore, the increasing use of drones is supported by regulators such as the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA). New projects, investment and innovation promise to grow this technology, which was valued globally at over $127bn in the commercial sectors alone by PwC in 2016. EMSA’s record breaking contractIn early 2017, the EMSA issued the largest ever civilian maritime drone contact, valued at €67m, cementing the ubiquitous use of drones in European waters. Under the contract, drones are used to assist with border control, search and rescue operations and monitoring of pollution, as well as the detection of illegal fishing and drug and people trafficking. The investment is part the EMSA’s five-year strategy of improving coastguard monitoring and surveillance of maritime activity. As part of the contract, Martek Marine was issued a two-year Remotely Piloted Aircraft Services (RPAS) contract to pilot long-range antennae, mission control vehicles and ground crew. The work involves streaming video and drone sensor data live to a control centre, to allow European Union (EU) Member States to make prompt decisions on intervention actions. Martek Marine’s new aviation divisionIn November 2017, Martek Marine announced the launch of a new aviation division dedicated to drone operations. The long-standing British company wants to pioneer “unmanned maritime aviation services”. Under the aviation division, the company will provide complete service solutions for maritime applications such as intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), search and rescue, illegal pollution detection and monitoring, detection of illegal drug and people trafficking, fisheries protection, and offshore asset and infrastructure inspection. One of the most advanced drones Martek uses is Flyability’s Elios collision tolerant unmanned aerial system, which provides a safer way to carry out tank inspections beyond the line of sight without the use of safety equipment, such as portable gas detectors, scaffolding or ropes. Specifically designed for harsh environments, the drone is protected by an anti-collision web and is dust, splash and bump resistant. Intel’s ocean drone programmeOn World Oceans Day 2017, computer company Intel announced it will work with Parley for the Oceans to study the seas. Intel will provide its artificial intelligence and drone technologies, such as the Intel Falcon 8+ drone and the Intel Sirius Pro drone, a fixed-wing UAV, to boost the science and expeditions of Parley and its collaborator network. Previously, to gather data from whales, partner Ocean Alliance developed the SnotBot drone to collect the blow, or snot, exhaled from whales when they surface to breathe. The SnotBot devices can relay collected samples to researchers on ships that are a comfortable distance away from the whales. Intel’s expertise in smart and connected technologies will be used to download data from the drones to machines running algorithms that can identify a particular whale and assess its health in real-time. Natilus: cargo drone start-upHoping to prove that drones are also disruptive to the maritime shipping industry, start-up Natilus wants its drones to be used as an alternative to cargo ships. The company wants to build large autonomous drones that can carry around 200,000 pounds of cargo and transport goods 17 times faster than a cargo ship. The cost is, at present, significantly more, however; traditional ocean-based shipping costs $61,000 for a 504-hour journey, whereas Natilus’s AUVs cost $130,000 and take 30 hours, but this is significantly cheaper than a plane ($260,000). In November 2017, the company reportedly closed its second round of seed funding with investment from Starburst Ventures, Seraph Group, Gelt VC, Outpost Capital and Draper Associates. The funds will go towards “aggressively scaling”, in anticipation of the start-up’s first Federal Aviation Administration-approved flight for its 30ft prototype. The test flight was scheduled for late 2017, and a commercial market launch is set for 2020. The Loon Copter: above and below sea droneThe Loon Copter is a novel multi-rotor platform capable of traditional aerial flight, on-water surface operation, and sub aquatic diving. The drone flies like a normal quadcopter drone, but can also land and rest on the water’s surface, or it can use its props to push itself along the surface, pumping water into its buoyancy chamber, causing it to sink. Developed by Oakland University, the drone can be used for many applications, including search and rescue operations, bridge foundation inspections, underwater pipeline inspections, tracking of oil spills at different depths, and marine life studies. Currently at proof-of-concept stage, the drone was successfully demonstrated in 2015. Its third prototype won the 2016 UAE Drones for Good competition in Dubai and was awarded $1m in funding. Aeromon emission monitoring system for dronesIn 2017, Aeromon launched the Aeromon Emission Monitoring System for drones to better measure emissions in the maritime environment. The analytics platform and mobile sensors help industry professionals to measure and visualise in real-time more than 70 different gases. In Europe, approximately €4-6m will be spent over the next two years on monitoring marine sulphur emissions with the help of unmanned aerial vehicles, according to Tekes, which is a funding incubator for new technology in Finland. According to Aeromon, the system helps cut costs by creating the ability to rapidly map on-site emissions in a flexible, accurate manner, delivering significant time savings. It does this using an RPA-mounted BH-8 sensor module with an active sampling system, a data handling/communications computer and a web-based analysis platform, the Aeromon Cloud Service. Wilhelmsen Ships Service’s new drone delivery serviceIn May 2017, Wilhelmsen Ships Service announced its plans to start a new drone-based ship delivery service for its clients. The service will omit the need to launch boats to deliver essentials, such as critical documents or vital medical supplies, tank inspections, or monitoring cargo and stockpile levels, to vessels at anchorage. Along with cutting delivery times, the company said the drone flights slash costs as launch vessels typically cost around $1,500, whereas a drone delivery costs around $150. The company plans to launch a working pilot project in a large port sometime soon.

Russian sailors are practicing flying drones in swings so they can hunt Ukraine's exploding drone boats from warships on the waves- Ukraine has used naval drones to damage and destroy ships of Russia's Black Sea Fleet.
- Russia has started using small FPV drones to train its sailors how to locate and defeat the threat.
- It's now having sailors operate these drones while rocking back and forth on swings to mimic waves.
Russia has consistently struggled to effectively protect its Black Sea Fleet from Ukraine's arsenal of exploding naval drones, which Kyiv has used throughout the war in attacks targeting Moscow's warships. But a new video suggests Russia's defense ministry is taking additional steps to defend its naval assets from the Ukrainian drones by putting sailors through a more realistic — albeit strange-looking — training process. Zvezda News, a state-owned network run by Russia's defense ministry, shared footage on Wednesday that showed Russian sailors rocking back and forth on swings while piloting first-person view, or FPV, drones above the waters of the Gulf of Finland. In the video, a Russian naval drone, also known as an uncrewed surface vessel, or USV, can be seen on the surface of the water, supposedly mimicking the Ukrainian systems that have wreaked havoc on the Black Sea Fleet. In a Telegram statement, Zvezda said that the swinging motion is meant to familiarize sailors with the waves. The channel said drones are in "great demand" among sailors and can "effectively combat" naval drones. Russian military sailors are learning how to fly FPVs and quadcopters as counters to Ukrainian USVs - the sitting on a swing is supposed to mimic the motion of the waves so that operators can pilot these drones in bad weather. https://t.co/WivAYjES2s pic.twitter.com/ILkFbR1VI5 — Samuel Bendett (@sambendett) August 21, 2024 Ukraine claims to have sunk, damaged, or destroyed at least a third of the Black Sea Fleet since the start of the war, according to Britain's defense ministry. Related stories The Ukrainian military and security forces have used a combination of locally produced naval drones and anti-ship missiles during this successful campaign, which has forced the Black Sea Fleet to disperse from its headquarters in the occupied Crimean peninsula and relocate closer to Russia. The naval drones — the main ones being the Sea Baby and Magura V5 — have been especially troublesome. Russia has taken some countermeasures to try and protect its warships, such as flying increased combat aircraft patrols, putting machine gun crews aboard its vessels, and adding more defenses in port . Many of these labor-intensive efforts have been largely unsuccessful at curbing the threat. A more cost-effective solution for Russia to defeat Ukrainian drones could be to use its own drones. Samuel Bendett, an advisor with the Center for Naval Analyses and an expert on drones and Russian defense issues, said Moscow has been using FPV drones in training to defeat Ukrainian naval drones for a while now. "They're basically refining the efforts of using the most advanced technologies to look for and destroy these drones," Bendett, who pointed out the development in a post on X , told Business Insider. While the FPV drones are cheap, attritable systems, Bendett said that they are far more dynamic than using a machine gun to simply destroy the inbound threat. Russia can use the FPV drones for a range of missions, including intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance purposes, in addition to threat elimination. Using swings to mimic the motion of waves in adverse weather is a relatively new aspect of this training, Bendett said. However, the effectiveness of FPV drones may end up being quite limited in bad weather anyways because they're small and light and would be vulnerable to strong winds and rains. It's not uncommon for Russia to put its soldiers through training like this. In fact, it's a practice other militaries do as well. For example, US soldiers training to defeat FPV drones are doing so by shooting at balloons flapping in wind , which is supposed to mimic the unpredictable movement of an FPV drone in combat. FPV drones strapped with various types of explosives have been an omnipresent threat on the battlefield in Ukraine, with both sides regularly using them to carry out precision strikes on enemy armor, positions, and troops. "What we have is this application of technology that's proven itself in ground combat. Now we have it applied on water and in maritime engagements," Bendett said. Bendett pointed out that in the Zvezda video of the counter-drone training, Russia is using a domestically produced naval drone to mimic a Ukrainian system. This gives sailors an even more realistic training environment, as opposed to simply placing an object in the water that's only simulating a naval drone. Little is known about Russia's naval drone program, but these systems will likely be used beyond training scenarios. "They obviously didn't build it just so it can be a target for USVs," Bendett said. "They built it for counter-USV operations, they built it for [intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance] operations, they built it for possible combat operations — whatever that means to them and for them."
