CHASING Launches DORY, an Affordable, Travel-Sized Underwater Drone Designed for the Consumer Market

DORY’s ease of use, compact size, and price make it the obvious choice for anyone interested in underwater exploration.

Seattle, WA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/10/2019 -- CHASING, a leader in the underwater robot space, has launched their newest underwater drone, DORY, on Kickstarter, less than 10 days left for this campaign from now on. It is now available for pre-order, early bird price of one DORY underwater drone is $349, and backers will begin to receive orders in November 2019. Smaller than a standard sheet of paper, DORY is specifically designed for the mass market, boasting a travel-friendly size, intuitive controls and quick set up, and affordable price point.

DORY follows the success of CHASING's Indiegogo campaign for GLADIUS in 2017, which ended with 1629% funding and 100% delivered to backers. After setting the standard with affordability and functionality in underwater drones with GLADIUS, and winning the Red Dot Product Design award with GLADIUS MINI, CHASING is once again setting new benchmarks for quality with DORY.

Each purchase of DORY comes with the drone, a tether, Wi-Fi buoy, and charger starting at just $349 for Early Bird pricing. As an additional add-on, early backers can purchase a specially-designed backpack that fits DORY alongside other essentials to make it the ultimate in portability.

DORY is perfect for consumers who are interested in underwater drones but have been unable to invest in one due to high price points, complicated controls, and features meant for industrial use. The portability makes it easy to bring on vacation or a casual outing, the user-friendly features let consumers capture vivid content and share directly to social media, and the co-pilot mode makes it an enjoyable experience for the whole family.

Whether you want to explore marine life, find hidden treasures underwater, scout your next dive site or discover your next unexplored fishing hole, DORY is an easy-to-use, affordable companion for underwater exploration. With all the key features of more expensive drones and the sleek design from an award-winning design team, DORY is meticulously designed to provide the most value at an entry-level price point.

DORY's key features include:

Most portable underwater drone:Smaller than a sheet of paper, DORY can fit into a shoulder bag and be easily transported where you want to use it

User-friendly experience:DORY can be set up within seconds and only the drone needs charging - not every single component like in other drones

Precise navigation:Perfect for surface cruising and diving, DORY can be controlled from the CHASING DORY mobile app and features intuitive controls - no external controller needed

Share your underwater photos easily:Download your photos and videos to your phone,quickly share on social media channels, or even livestream your dive

High-quality camera:Capture vivid underwater photos and video with the 1080p camera featuring F1.6 camera lens

Two player mode:Enjoy dives together with one person focusing on maneuvering DORY while the other person concentrates on capturing the perfect photos or video

High-quality craftsmanship at an affordable price point:Designed with as few parts as possible, DORY packs in the most important features in a sleek, compact design at a price point much lower than equal competitors
