Description
The CHASING GLADIUS MINI S 4K Underwater Drone is a portable tethered ROV for recreational diving, boat and dock inspection, aquaculture observation, education, and underwater content capture. Its 4K camera, 12 MP still photos, electronic image stabilization, five-thruster control, and dual 1,200-lumen lights create a capable compact system rated to 100 m (328 ft).
Choose the tether length for your operating area, then select Standard or Flash Pack based on whether you need the grabber claw and backpack included.

Compatibility & Add-ons
Add the fitted GLADIUS MINI S backpack and Grabber Claw B to a Standard package using the accessory selector. Flash Pack variants already include both items, so they are not offered again as extras.
For other tether-management equipment, contact us to confirm the exact MINI S connection and compatibility before ordering.
Setup & Use
- Charge the drone and controller, install the supported CHASING app, and inspect the tether and seals.
- Connect the selected tether and confirm the live camera feed and controls at the surface.
- Plan the route, current, depth, recovery path, and battery reserve.
- Manage the tether continuously and avoid propellers, sharp edges, traffic, and entanglement hazards.
- Rinse with fresh water after saltwater use, dry fully, and inspect before storage.
Shipping & Support
Ships new in the selected Standard or Flash Pack configuration. Handling time and package size vary by tether length. The Robot Direct provides U.S.-based product-fit guidance and post-purchase support.
