The Geneinno Titan is an underwater drone that dives to a depth of 150 m (almost 500 feet), which is quite impressive because it is exposed to a water pressure of up to 15 bar down there. It also sports a 4K camera and two powerful (1500 lumen each) headlights.
Geneinno Titan Underwater Drone
Geneinno was established in 2013 and one of their flagship products was the Poseidon underwater drone. Now they’re back with a new kind of drone, the Geneinno Titan, which launched through a Kickstater campaign in June 2018. Since then, it has been fully funded and is expected to be shipped to all backers in September 2018.
This new drone sports 6 thrusters which enables the Titan to move at a max speed of 2m/s. It can also rotate freely in a full 360° circle. The 8MP camera features a 160° wide angle lens and it shoots 4K.
In order to control the drone, which is achieved by using a wifi connection, a accompanying buoy is connected by cable to the drone itself. The buoy floats on the water surface and sets up an ad-hoc wifi network to which you connect via iOS / android tablet or smartphone.
With two optional handgrips attached to the smart device (connected via bluetooth) you can control the Geneinno Titan even if its 150m deep. The buoy provides you with a live image from the drone and you can control the camera and the Titan itself from the comfort of your sun bed. No bulky diver’s suit required.
Features
The Drone will launch with various features such as 4K, 150m depth, and live stream. Yes, you’ll be able to stream your diving trip straight to social media (in 1080p) if your cell reception at sea is sufficient, of course. If not, you’ll have to make do with the pool party in your backyard.
If you don’t want to stick to your phone or tablet you can also use a VR goggle to fully immerse into the sea with the Geneinno Titan.
Availability
The Kickstarter campaign was funded at the end of July. This means that the production will go ahead but it is still possible to purchase the drone through Indiegogo. The drone is available to purchase from Indiegogo indemand currently for 1799$ although it is still in a prototype stage. Titan is supposedly heading into mass production within 2 weeks so exciting times are ahead! There is also going to be a special discount in September which you can watch out for as they launch Titan. If you can't wait until then, check it out HERE
