CHASING F1 is a hi-tech digital full HD fish finder drone with remote control designed for all types of fishing.
It is a must-have for every angler of every skill level who desires to maximize his/her catch rate. F1 provides
you with intelligent information about the underwater terrain, surroundings, other objects underneath, the
location of fish masses, and the position of fish in water. In addition to fishing situations, F1 delivers both
real-time water temperature readings and accurate depth readings. It has the ability to take both great
quality pictures and to capture high-definition videos during the process of fishing. With built-in waterproof
full HD digital stellar camera equipped with white LED and IR highlight night-vision lights, fishes can be
caught in sight and video-recorded more clearly in the dark environment. F1 moves vertically and can
ascend and descend automatically. The maximum operating depth of F1 is 28 meters. It is featured by four
thrusters and has various functions, such as GPS, all-directional movement, suspension and stop, keeping
records of multiple fishing points, automatic cruise between fishing locations and one-key return. The
lithium battery is swappable and can last up to 6 hours in continuous use. Apart from the above-mentioned
functionality, F1 can be also mounted with smart sonar ball, small bait boat, and other optional accessories
to undertake more tasks.
