It offers up to 49 feet of depth exploration with a 49 ft WiFi tether for real-time 720p video streaming. Lightweight and portable at under 2.5 lbs, it boasts a 1-hour battery life and intuitive app control, making underwater photography and live sharing effortless and social. ## Description Chasing makes underwater drone photography smaller and simpler with Dory, a compact remotely operated vehicle that transmits photos and video from as deep as 49' and is controlled by a smartphone or tablet. The Dory connects to a small floating Wi-Fi buoy with a 49' tether and streams live 720p video from beneath the surface, to your device and to social media if you like. It snaps 2MP photos and records 1920 x 1080 video at 30 fps, enhanced by a color-restore algorithm for dynamic imagery, and its wide f/1.6 lens captures the scenery and the action even in low-light environments. Two 250-lumen LED lights illuminate the scene, with color temperature of 4000k to 5000k. Review: Great little sub - perfect for a day at the beach! - Topline: I've had my Dory out three times at Lake Michigan and it's performed wonderfully each time. For anybody interested in an rov but unwilling to spend a huge amount of money, this is a great choice. For those who don't know, the Dory comes with the submarine, a 50 foot tether, a buoy that emits a wifi signal that you will use with a mobile device to control the rov, and a few other odds and ends (e.g. extra o-rings). It's very easy to use - just download the app (available on iOS or android), plug the tether into the buoy and the submarine, sign on to the buoy's wifi with the password that Chasing provides, and your device will automatically connect to the submarine. From there it's go time! In my three dives so far, I've used my Dory from the shoreline on Lake Michigan, from calm waters to moderate chop in a 5 knot northeast wind. It's generally easy to control from my phone, even without the remote you can buy as an add on. The app is simple to use and the controls are very effective. From it you can easily calibrate Dory's internal sensors and even take data on water temperature/depth. Control becomes more difficult as the wave conditions get rougher, but that's to be expected and would be true for any tethered rov (which they all are). The three vertical motors go a long way towards making this little submarine more stable than it otherwise would be. The wifi signal stretches out 50 feet, so along with the tether, you have up to 100 feet of movement in the horizontal plane, and 50 feet of vertical travel. This has been more than enough to see all sort of things from the shore and would be awesome from a boat. That said, 50 feet is the vertical limit, so if you want to go deeper another choice would be best. Three critiques, none of which are dealbreakers in any sense for me: 1) it would be nice if Chasing included some sort of simple safety line to link the buoy to shore (or boat) - you wouldn't want to buoy to accidently float out of wifi range - if that happens you'll be getting wet rescuing your submarine. Alternatively, it would be nice if the buoy had a molded plastic ring or something to connect a line to. This is easy to jury-rig, with a kid's fishing rod or a kite reel and a small float or something, but I'd rather have the engineers figure out something optimal. 2) Similarly, it would be very helpful to have a secondary secure link between the tether and the rov, i.e. a second spot to secure the tether beyond the connection point. I'm leery of lifting the submarine by the tether, but sometimes this becomes necessary when putting it in/taking it out of the water. 3) A tether reel would be really helpful. All in all, I love the Dory, its price point is great for what you get in the world of rovs, and it's perfect for my use case. Review: Disappointed - After dropping my car keys at the marina, I located the keys using my GoPro camera. BUT I wanted a real-time view to make the recovery. I also have an interest in underwater photography and thought this would be a great excuse to purchase an underwater drone. The GOOD Things: β€’ The video is good for a 1K resolution (focus range is limited). β€’ The 50 ft tether w/buoy meets my needs. β€’ The small size makes for easy transit for most any situation. The BAD things: β€’ This particular Chasing Dory had marginal WiFi connections from the first use in water. The buoy was less than 3 feet from me. β€’ Today, the Dory stopped communicating via WiFi. The WiFi connection is what caused me to decide to return the Dory. DESIGN COMMENTS: β€’ The tethering with a buoy is good for typical consumer uses. β€’ A physical controller would be better than the virtual one used in the Chasing App. β€’ I lost several short recordings when the WiFi disconnected. I was able to recover some, but not most. When WiFi is lost, the recording stops but the app record button appears "active". Having a removable SD Card would be better. β€’ The WiFi password is "12345678" AND there is no way to change it. β€’ The virtual controls are supposed to be programable. There are no instructions how to change other than from "Japanese" to "USA". Strange way to describe it since Chasing is a Chinese company. By trial and error in clear water, I could see which virtual control did what. β€’ The charger power supply cable has no locking ring. Since it is the same type plug as the tether, it should be easy to include one. Without the locking ring, the charger connection to the Dory can easily work free. OPERATIONAL COMMENTS: β€’ In clear water, the propellers cause little disturbance unless the Dory is "on the bottom". β€’ In turbid water the propellers stir up lots of loose sediment. This is not a complaint, rather a situational constraint. I overcame it by attaching an adhesive GoPro base to the top of the Dory. Adapting a 12 ft painters extension pole to the GoPro base, I was able to keep the Dory propellers OFF but record with the camera and light ON. Sadly, this is where the Chasing Dory's WiFi totally stopped. The battery was at 100% this morning. It was used for about 15 minutes this afternoon. I do believe that this particular Dory has some electrical faults and potential sealing issues. Hence, I am returning this Dory. I will be searching for a more robust solution for my underwater photography. ## Features - Excellent Underwater Photography; DORY can dive up to 49ft and has an HD camera for real-time observation and shooting photos and videos; DORY's 1080p f/1;6 camera combined with two 250-lumen headlights opens up a whole new world of exploration; With DORY'S built in true color restoration algorithm, photos and videos show true dynamic color in all conditions - Portable for Travel; As the world's smallest, smartest and most affordable underwater drone, palm sized DORY is just 9;7 x 7;4 x 3;6", weighs less than 2;5 lb; It has a 4800 mAh battery life of approximately 1 hour; Travelers can take it into a backpack and easily transport it wherever they want to use it - Explore the Sea Like a game; DORY is really easy to use; Plug, plunge and play; With the CHASING GO2 app, your phone can remotely control the underwater drone to dive, forward and backward, move up and down, tilt up and down and lock the depth like a gamepad; Exploring the ocean floor is as easy and fun as a game - Share the fun; With Dory's dual play mode, you can operate the underwater drone with camera together with your close friend or family; What's more, with CHASING GO2 app, it's quick and easy to share live-streaming and underwater videos on Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, or your favorite social sharing platform; Shine at your next pool party or snorkeling adventures - Freedom to explore deep sea; DORY connects to a small floating Wi Fi Buoy with a 49' tether and streams live 720p video from beneath the surface to your device and to social media if you like; Whether you're diving, fishing, taking underwater photography, or yachting, the Chasing DORY is your best choice ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B085DKWFCS | | Are Batteries Included | Yes | | Battery Average Life | 1 Hours | | Best Sellers Rank | #154,651 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #16 in Underwater Photography Camcorders | | Brand | Chasing | | Built-In Media | Memory Card | | Camcorder Type | Action Camera | | Color | Yellow | | Compatible Devices | Smartphone | | Connectivity Technology | Wi-Fi | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 out of 5 stars 208 Reviews | | Display Resolution Maximum | FHD | | Effective Still Resolution | 2 MP | | Effective Video Resolution | 2.1 MP | | Features | hd-movie, in-camera-editing | | File Format | MP4 | | Flash Memory Speed Class | C4 | | Flash Memory Type | Micro SD | | Flash Memory UHS Speed Class | 4 | | Flash Memory Video Speed Class | V60 | | Focus Type | Fixed Focus | | Form Factor | Compact | | Has Image Stabilization | No | | Image Aspect Ratio | 16:9 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 7.4"D x 3.6"W x 9.7"H | | Item Weight | 4 Pounds | | Lens Type | Zoom | | Manufacturer | Chasing-Innovation Technology Co., LTD. | | Maximum Aperture | 0.63 Millimeters | | Maximum Focal Length | 1.0 | | Minimum Focal Length | 1.0 | | Model Name | Chasing Dory | | Model Number | Chasing Dory | | Number of Batteries | 1 Lithium Ion batteries required.

Love it *by X***N on May 7, 2020* I just got the package two days ago, so excited to have an underwater drone and I can’t wait to try it! I really enjoy taking pictures and videos in a special angle, before this one, I’d got a drone that can fly, instead of diving, and I did bring it with me every time when I traveled with my friends, it did come out a lot of footage and it is so fun to see the world from high above the sky. However, it would be nice to explore the world in a cool way, why not try to see what s in the river? This drone is a great choice and now becomes one of my favorites, it is easy to carry, easy to set up, just connect it to my phone, put it into the water and we are good to go! From its HD camera, we can see how fascinating the underwater view of the river near our neighborhood! This drone has a floater that using wifi to connect to my phone and sending the signal to the drone via a wire that connects to it, easy to control like a tiny sub, taking pictures and videos and say Hi to aquatic living creatures! Also, it could be a great bath toy in my bathtub haha! ## Frequently Bought Together - CHASING DORY Underwater Drone - Palm-Sized 1080p Full HD Underwater Drone with Camera for Real Time Viewing, APP Remote Control and Portable with Carrying Case, WiFi Buoy and 49 ft Tether, ROV - SanDisk 256GB Extreme microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter - Up to 190MB/s, C10, U3, V30, 4K, 5K, A2, Micro SD Card - SDSQXAV-256G-GN6MA - SanDisk 128GB Extreme microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter - Up to 160MB/s, C10, U3, V30, 4K, A2, Micro SD - SDSQXA1-128G-GN6MA --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/193419907-chasing-dory-underwater-drone-palm-sized-1080p-full-hd-underwater](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/193419907-chasing-dory-underwater-drone-palm-sized-1080p-full-hd-underwater) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
