Chasing Innovation Gladius Mini S with 100m Tether (MiniS100)

The Gladius Mini S Underwater Drone from CHASING is designed for content creators, travel photographers, marine professionals, and underwater enthusiasts. Compact, powerful, and easy to operate, it features a UHD 4K camera capable of capturing 12MP photos with electronic image stabilization for smooth and clear footage.

The Mini S records high-quality video and images and transmits them to a surface controller for live viewing on up to three devices simultaneously. Content can also be stored directly or shared on social platforms. Compared to the earlier Gladius Mini model, this version includes a direct tether connection to the controller for a more reliable signal without Wi-Fi dropouts, a stronger battery that extends runtime to four hours, anti-stuck motor technology to prevent getting trapped in sand, a 64GB SD card, and improved image stabilization for the 1/2.3" CMOS f/1.8 camera. An action camera mount is also included for additional customization.

Measuring 15.7 × 8.9 × 5.7 inches and weighing just 6 pounds, the Mini S is compact enough to fit comfortably in a backpack, making it ideal for travel and field use.
