Review
Ideafly conceived the Poseidon thinking in professional fishing so you can track a shoal using a sonar, since it withstand being soaked in water for more than 10 hours, drop a bait to attract a bigger fish or take eagle eye shots to check if your prey is near with Real-time FPV within 800m range. This drone can do almost anything, taking advantage from its features; TapFly, Waypoints, One Key Takeoff / Landing / Return (provided by DJI LK24-BT 2.4GHz Bluetooth Datalink).
Intended for fishing, the Poseidon can do other activities than fishing, maybe its 720p camera included doesn’t fit the professional video/photo shooting needs, sure it can do fulfill other activities like work as a leverage in case of natural disasters, its 1200grm payload can help people in some way and the water proof seal could manage to deal with this maneuvers even in the rain.
Conclusion
The Idealfly Poseidon is one of the firsts drone with IP67 certification that hits the civil market, sure i was made for fishing or using near water, but also can meets another activities requirements.
