Every Underwater Drone You Can Buy at Dronevex
Ask most people to picture a drone and they’ll think of something buzzing overhead. Fewer people realize the same idea works just as well below the waterline — a compact, camera-equipped machine you can pilot through a lake, a harbor, or the hull of a ship without ever getting wet. That’s the world of underwater ROVs, and it’s grown a lot faster than most people expect.
At Dronevex, we carry the full CHASING underwater drone lineup, and honestly, the range surprises people. It’s not just one “underwater drone” — it’s a whole spread of machines built for wildly different jobs, from a weekend angler checking a lake for fish to a marine engineer inspecting a ship’s hull 150 metres down. Here’s how the catalog breaks down.
For Everyday Exploration: Dory and Dory Explorer
If you just want to dip a toe into underwater filming — recreational diving, curious pond exploration, or simply capturing marine life on camera — the Dory and Dory Explorer are where most people start. Dory runs on a five-thruster design that keeps it steady even in mild currents, holds depth automatically, and connects straight to your phone over Wi-Fi for live video. With around an hour of battery life and a genuinely pocketable build, it’s the kind of drone you toss in a bag before a lake trip without thinking twice.
For Anglers: Chasing F1 Pro, CF1, and Cam X
A surprisingly big chunk of our underwater drone customers aren’t researchers or engineers at all — they’re fishermen. The Chasing F1 Pro, CF1, and Cam X are built specifically around that use case: drop the camera in, see what’s actually swimming beneath the boat before you cast, and stop guessing. The F1 Pro adds GPS-based multi-spot navigation so you can mark productive fishing locations and return to them automatically, while the Cam X is rated to a genuinely serious 200-metre depth and runs over two hours on a charge, which matters if you’re out from sunrise to well past lunch. None of these require any technical background — they’re built to be picked up and used the same day they arrive.
For Serious Hobbyists and Small Commercial Jobs: MINI S Series
Once you need more depth range or steadier professional-grade footage, the MINI S lineup — available in 100m and 200m variants, each with a Standard and Flash configuration — steps things up. These sit right between casual exploration and full commercial work: solid enough for aquaculture checks or light infrastructure inspection, but still manageable for a single operator without a dedicated support crew.
For Professional Inspections: The Chasing M2S Family
This is where things get properly industrial. The Chasing M2S, offered in Lite, Standard, and Advanced configurations, is purpose-built for hull inspections, pipeline checks, aquaculture monitoring, and scientific fieldwork. The M2S Advanced in particular is rated to 100 metres, shoots 4K UHD footage with electronic image stabilization, and supports CHASING’s Aquavision processing to keep footage clear even in murky water. It also accepts sonar modules, robotic grabber arms, and floodlights, so the same unit can be reconfigured depending on what the job actually calls for. For teams that need one drone to handle several different inspection tasks across a year, this is usually the sweet spot.
For Heavy-Duty Industrial Work: M2 Pro and M2 Pro Max
At the top of the range sit the M2 Pro (Advanced and Professional trims) and the M2 Pro Max (Standard, Advanced, and Professional trims) — CHASING’s flagship ROVs, built for depths of up to 200 metres. These are the units you’d deploy for offshore energy inspections, dam and bridge assessments, search-and-rescue operations, or serious scientific survey work where reliability at depth genuinely can’t be compromised. With eight-thruster stability, precision navigation support, and full compatibility with CHASING’s professional accessory ecosystem, the M2 Pro Max line is built to be a working tool first and a camera second.
Picking the Right One
If you’re weekend fishing or filming for fun, start with Dory or the F1 Pro — no need to overspend on capability you won’t use. If you’re running aquaculture checks or light commercial inspections, the MINI S series covers that middle ground well. And if your work involves hulls, pipelines, offshore structures, or anything where depth and reliability actually matter, the M2S or M2 Pro Max families are built for exactly that.
