Maximum working depth is 328' and top speed is 3 knots. Two 2000-lumen LEDs with three brightness levels provide ample light as you navigate the depths.

The drone's f/1.8 camera with 1/2.3 CMOS sensor is equipped with electronic image stabilization for tack-sharp images and movies, even in lower light. Field of view is a very wide 152°. You can shoot stills while capturing video, and time-lapse and slow-motion modes expand your creative capabilities. A 64GB SD card is provided but you can use cards up to 512GB to record your images, or download them to your computer via an HDMI port.

Power for the drone is supplied by a 97.7Wh battery that recharges in 2.5 hours, while the remote control module employs a 2500mAh battery that recharges in two hours.

How does the real-time video transmit to phone or tablet?
Asked by: Neil
There is also an HDMI output on the controller. Use a video transmitter, like the Accsoon CineView HE Multi-Spectrum Wireless Video Transmitter, to transmit to other devices..."One transmitter can connect to up to four devices such as receivers, smartphones, or tablets". You will need an HDMI cable of course. The transmitter is, conveniently, also sold here at B&H....see link below... I hope this helps someone. We now own several Accsoon transmitters for various remote vehicle operations! Enjoy! https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1727602-REG/accsoon_cvhetx_cineview_he_multispectrum_wireless.html

The images show what looks like an e-reel included with the drone (second image down from top) the "Whats in the box" lists buoy/winder, and a power supply for charging the buoy. So is the e-reel included with the kit?
Asked by: William
The CHASING Chasing M2 Underwater ROV (656' Tether) includes a manual winder. The reason for the photo is to show that the optional  E-reel is compatible.
