Chasing Innovation Gladius Mini S with 200m Tether (MiniS200)

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

The Mini S records high-quality videos and images and transmits them to a surface controller for live viewing on up to three devices simultaneously. Content can be saved directly or shared on social media. Compared to the earlier Gladius Mini model, this version includes a direct 200-meter tether connection to the controller, eliminating Wi-Fi dropouts. It also offers a more powerful battery that extends runtime to four hours, anti-stuck motor technology to help prevent sand blockage, a 64GB SD card, and enhanced stabilization for the 1/2.3" CMOS f/1.8 camera. An action camera mount is included for users who want to add their own camera.

Compact and travel-friendly, the Mini S measures 15.7 × 8.9 × 5.7 inches and weighs only 6 pounds, making it easy to carry in a backpack.
