Overview

Chasing's entry-level, backpack-sized underwater drone and one of the cheapest camera ROVs from a mainstream brand. Chasing describes it as 56% lighter and 65% smaller than the Gladius Mini. The 15 m depth limit and 1-hour battery restrict it to snorkel-depth sightseeing, and the maker recommends calm water only. It first appeared on Chasing's site in late 2019 and is still sold.
