1 JJRC H31
The H31 is sold in both white and green. It has a very similar appearance to the Yizhan Tarantula. It is a brushed, sporty quadcopter that is geared under each motor. If you do decide to leave the prop guards off, keep in mind that the gears are exposed and open to the elements. Sticks, leaves, hairs, and other small objects can get stuck in there and cause the motor to stop running. They can also damage the plastic gears. Installing the prop guards will cover the gears and stop anything from getting entangled.
The body is made of a very strong plastic that is made to be abused. It is capable of handling all kinds of impact from hitting walls to free falling. It will even keep flying if the props get bent or broken. Talk about durability. In low rate, this quad is perfect for training beginners due to its slow pitch and yaw. This mode is also ideal for low wind/indoor flight. But, if the wind starts to pick up, this mode definitely won’t be enough to fight it. Medium rate is the perfect flight mode for an intermediate flyer just looking to fly around. The yaw is a very nice speed and it has an ideal pitch. It also does not draw enough current to overload the battery. The yaw is unnecessarily fast; it spins about as fast as a top. The pitch is quite extreme as well. If you fly full pitch forward when you are about halfway into the total flight time, there will be a noticeable voltage sag. The amount of power it draws is just a bit too much for the battery.
The LEDs on this model are red and green. There is also a red LED on the front that assists in identifying orientation. The lights always flash when the drone is on; they alternate between dim and full brightness. They are a bit hard to see outside in full daylight but at dusk they are very nice.

Conclusion
This drone is truly waterproof. If submerged in water for about 5 minutes, it will definitely come out powered on and users will be able to fly it without a problem immediately after pulling it out. The power switch and camera port are open and exposed right on the front of the craft but this cannot cause any problem for the drone. The drone is prone to filling with water and sinking, so do keep that in mind when dropping it in standing water. The best method to keep it afloat is to maintain power to the motors to keep them spinning.

2 Gptoys Aviax H2O Quadcopter
GP Toys H20 Aviax is one of the best mid-sized quad rotors. The power point of this drone starts with the advent of cheap MEMS gyros, smaller motors, smaller receivers and more powerful batteries. These new tiny gyros and receivers can fit on a small circuit board at a very low cost. Also, when you use smaller motors, you don’t need expensive speed controllers. All of these factors brought the cost and size of quad rotors down to a point where the average consumer can finally afford one. However, it’s hard to make a large quad rotor with a small motor. The solution seemed pretty simple – just gear the motor down – and the V222 quad was one of the first to use this technique, followed by the popular Syma X5C. The problem with gearing the motor down to make a larger aircraft is that you can end up with a lot of flight control issues if you don’t do it correctly. Programming the flight controller and selecting the proper gear ratios are all very important and GP Toys did an amazing job.
The drone has a standard camera connection that you can plug a camera into. The transmitter also has a button that will take pictures and start and stop video recordings, so adding a camera is easy. The range was great at well over 200 feet and the bright orange body is easy to see from far away.

Conclusion
Despite the bright orange safety color of the canopy, the overall aircraft looks great. The solid outer shell looks very similar to a DJI phantom. The aircraft is smooth and sleek with a set of nonsymmetrical lines carved into the top of the canopy that reminds me of a prop from the movie Stargate. The lines are minimal, yet daring, and show a genuine desire to make the common canopy design look unique. Another feature that stands out is what looks like a small round antenna on the back of the aircraft. However, this round piece of plastic isn’t actually an antenna. From what I can tell, it’s just a taillight made to look like an antenna. It’s made from a partially transparent piece of plastic and there is a small LED at the base to illuminate it. Its main purpose is to differentiate the back of the aircraft from the front while you’re flying. It doesn’t hurt that it makes the aircraft look more advanced by sporting a round GPS-looking device on the back, even if it is just for show.
There is also a set of vents carved into the plastic canopy, not for cooling, but to let water drain out. The H2O Aviax is made with a strong plastic shell, but the aircraft is not watertight. When you splash down, the aircraft will actually fill up with water, but the vents help the water drain out.

4 PowerRay Wizard Underwater Drone
The PowerRay is a new, revolutionary water drone that can go to great depths, locate fish, and even cast the bait for anglers. What’s even more interesting; this underwater robot can record everything happening down there, sending video back to a hand-held device. If you go for still photos, it can give you that one too. What makes anglers want to lay their hands on this drone is that it can do all the work, while you take a nap along the bank or beach. According to the PowerVision, this drone can detect fish as far as 40 meters away and can dive down to 30 Meters deep. Its Wi-Fi connection can send video, images, and data from below, to as far as 262 feet (80 meters) when something is nearby, as well as giving information about the terrain down there. Users can control the underwater robot to as far as 70 meters away. The drone can work both in deep cold waters and in medium temperature environments. When it comes to the controls, users of this PowerRay drone have even more to enjoy. Forget about the “precision remote bait drop” for attracting fish underwater, the powerful camera and the sonar detection, the best part about this drone comes in control. Users can rely on a hand-held unit for the controls and monitor what is unfolding beneath. Besides, anglers can also use their Smartphone, iOS or an Android app, which they can choose to receive alerts when the drone comes across something.
If you want to get the real experience of being in depth and seeing everything in the first person, PowerRay got you covered. With a pair of virtual-reality goggles, you can go down and back from your boat or the bank. The goggles are also capable of effecting controls, which you can manipulate by turning your head to the side that you want to get a view of, just a tilt of the head and you get a view of the terrain, fish, and beauty of the underwater world. What’s more, as a user, you can get a clear view of the position of your drone. For the configuration, you can also select the travel mode that you want to set, as well as speed and the light settings using the electronic devices.
Just like any other appliance, the PowerRay drone comes with add-ons that add to its efficiency. The major and most important of all is the Sonar add-on. With this n board, the underwater robot can dive as far down as 98 feet (30 meters) and track fish as far as 131 feet (40 meters) further. The Sonar helps the device to achieve a pin- point precision accuracy of up to 3.9 inches (10 centimeters). What’s more, anglers can also let the PowerRay into the water without having to connect it with the Sonar add-on, and still get an impressive performance. However, it is apparent that if you want something more than the obvious, the add-on is one thing you cannot leave behind. It means more adventure and more action altogether.
The PowerRay drone itself weighs 7.7 pounds, while the additional accessories add another 4.4 lbs. This offers a portable weight that will not sweat you out as you head down to the water. This underwater robot is made of the necessity for long hours of performance in mind. This is why both the PowerRay drone and the sonar add-on have long life battery each. The company says that these batteries can last up to four hours. This is sufficient time to take you through your fishing experience or give you enough portion of the adventure below the waves.

5 Parrot Hydrofoil Minidrone – New Z
The Hydrofoil is a new drone from Parrot that’s squarely designed to target the fun sector of the market. It comes in two variants, the NewZ and the Orak. The review unit was the Orak Hydrofoil drone, which features a stealthy-looking black hull. The small drone unit can be flown solo or placed into a support secured to the hull for on-water action. Out-of-the-box assembly takes only a few minutes. All you have to do is fix the foils to the hull and download the Free Flight 3 app. The end build is lightweight and fairly sturdy, although the protruding rear foils can sometimes shake loose if met with hard downward pressure. Battery wise, plugged into the mains you’ll be fully powered up inside half an hour. Plugged into a laptop USB, however, it take three times as long – so try to opt for the former where possible. The Hydrofoil’s battery life is short by drone standards. At full pelt I managed only about five minutes playtime on the water, and only a tad longer in flight mode. To start, the drone sits in the support unit. Once you open up the app in your tablet or phone, you’ll auto connect via Bluetooth and the on-screen controls will pop up. If outdoors, bear in mind that the surface of water needs to be calm – paddling pools or ponds at a push, but certainly nothing tidal. There’s no information on how the drone’s internals might be affected by H O however. Taking to the water with a press of the “take off” instantly lifts the drone vertically 90 degrees and propels the hull. The on-screen speed and directional controls are intuitive, and within minutes I was having a ball making the drone do loops. On paper, the Hydrofoil isn’t super-fast by drone standards. It features a maximum 10kmh speed on water, but it feels much faster and looks great. There is an on-board camera, but it’s VGA-only and so doesn’t offer an on-screen view. You’ll have to wait to view your results.
Features
- Five minute battery life
- Multiple colour options
- iOS and Android support

Specification
- Flight time: About 5minutes
- Charge time: 30mins
Conclusion
Aside from a battery life that could be improved, the actual flying time you get with the Hydrofoil is particularly enjoyable. You use the on-screen joystick-style pads to control height, speed and direction. One slight issue is that it does lag a little, so you need to ensure enough open space when taking the drone for a spin. In-air tricks are accessed in an on-screen menu. In general I found these were great; the quick 90- or 180-degree turn options worked a treat. However, the full 360-degree flip drained all my battery life.
