Content creators, travel photographers, marine professionals, and anyone fascinated by the world beneath the waves will find the GLADIUS MINI S Underwater Drone from CHASING rewarding and easy to use. Featuring a UHD 4K / 12MP camera with electronic image stabilization, the MINI S captures video and photos. It then transmits them to a topside controller to allow sharing for live viewing from up to three devices at once. You can also store or share them on social media. Upgrades from the earlier GLADIUS MINI model include a tether that connects directly to the controller (no more dropped Wi-Fi), a more powerful battery that doubles the runtime to four hours, anti-stuck motor technology that helps prevent the drone from getting bogged down in the sand, a 64GB SD card, and image stabilization for the 1/2.3" CMOS sensor f/1.8 camera. If you want to customize the drone with your own action cam, an optional mount is available, as is the CHASING Grabber Arm, which lets you retrieve objects or samples from underwater. As its name suggests, the MINI S is more compact than earlier models, measuring a backpack-friendly 15.7 x 8.9 x 5.7" and weighing just 6 lb.
