FAQs

What applications is Speedip V2+ designed for?

Speedip V2+ is primarily designed for routine water sampling, forensic evidence collection, aquatic research, and emergency water monitoring.

If your use case falls outside these areas, please feel free to contact Soarability to explore whether Speedip V2+ is a good fit for your needs.

What is the maximum sampling depth? Can deeper sampling depths be customized?

Speedip V2+ is equipped with a winch that can release up to 10 meters of rope. The actual maximum sampling depth depends on the UAV’s hovering height.

Examples:
- Hovering 1 m above the water surface → Maximum sampling depth: 9 m
- Hovering 5 m above the water surface → Maximum sampling depth: 5 m

Due to the limited space in the winch system, Speedip V2+ cannot accommodate additional rope, and customized sampling depths are not supported.

What is the maximum sampling capacity of a single task? Can larger containers be customized?

For Speedip V2+ (M400 Model), the standard packing list includes a 2 L PMMA container, with 1 L Stainless Steel containers for options.

For Speedip V2+ (M350/M300 Model), the standard packing list includes a 1.1 L PMMA container, with 1 L Stainless Steel containers for options.

Customizing a larger container is not recommended, as it requires careful evaluation of the UAV's payload capacity, mounting space, Speedip's lifting capability, and potential interference with its millimeter-wave radar.

What additional functions does Speedip V2+ have besides water sample collection?

Speedip V2+ is dedicated to physical water sample collection only. It does not perform water quality testing, water flow velocity monitoring, or support multi-point sampling within a single task.

We did not offer suction-based design due to the risk of sample mixing and cross-contamination when using a shared tube in multiple sampling tasks.

Can target sampling points be set via web platform?

No. The "Speedip Cloud" web platform is no longer available for Speedip V2+.

Does the container require cleaning when sampling from different locations?

Yes. Cleaning is recommended to avoid cross-contamination between samples.

What are the differences between the M400 Model and the M350/M300 Model of Speedip V2+?

The two models differ in the firmware, power draw, integration kits, carrying cases, and container options. The main unit and the accessories from one model cannot be used with the other, and the M350/M300 Model cannot be upgraded to the M400 Model.

"Flight Route" → "Create a Route" → "Waypoint Route" → "Set Waypoints" → Select "Auto" for Speedip V2+ → Set the "Relative Altitude" of Waypoint 1 → Set the "Relative Altitude" of Waypoint 2 → "Hover" for 10 s → "ONdown" → "Hover" for 10 s × 3 (30 s in total) → "Calibrate String Length" → "Hover" for 10 s × 3 (30 s in total)

Save → Upload → Start flight mission

The hovering time should be adjusted according to the actual sampling depth. For step-by-step instructions, please refer to the tutorial video.

Can the UAV still carry an H30T camera or Sniffer4D after mounting Speedip V2+?

Speedip V2+ comes with a built-in downward-facing camera, and an additional gimbal camera is generally not needed.

When using the 2 L container, DJI M400 can still carry an H30T camera or a Sniffer4D by utilizing the dual gimbal mount and adjusting the Speedip mounting bracket to maintain balance.

When using the 1.1 L container, DJI M350/M300 can still carry an H30T camera or a Sniffer4D by utilizing the dual gimbal mount and adjusting the Speedip mounting bracket to maintain balance.

Please ensure:

- The total payload does not exceed the UAV's payload capacity.

- The center of gravity is properly adjusted for light safety.

What are the precautions when mounting "Speedip V2+ Extended Landing Gear" on DJI Matrice 400?

The installation method for "Speedip V2+ Extended Landing Gear" is the same as that for the standard landing gear.

Neither the extended nor the standard landing gear possesses a detection function for installation. Therefore, please confirm that the landing gear is tightly secured to avoid the risk of detaching during flight.

"Infrared Sensor Blocked" orange warning occasionally appears on DJI Pilot 2 App during the mission of Speedip V2+ (M400 Model).

After installing the Speedip V2+, the container may sway significantly during flight, leading to obstructing the UAV's downward-facing infrared sensor. At this point, the DJI Pilot 2 App will display the warning "Downward infrared sensor blocked. Descent speed limited. Block detection will automatically be disabled." The warning may disappear within 10 seconds if the block is removed. If not, the infrared sensor will be forcibly turned off.

In this case, you can either turn to the flight obstacle avoidance settings and re-enable the downward infrared sensor or proceed with caution, keeping the sensor off and descending carefully .

When using the Speedip V2+ (M400 Model), the UAV enters a "Landing" state during the mission.

Before sampling, you should follow the "Safety Operation Guide" in the packaging box and turn off the "Downward Obstacle Avoidance" function of DJI M400 to prevent the UAV’s downward infrared sensor from mistakenly identifying the container as an obstacle or a 'landing surface' during flight.

In this case, you should pull up the throttle stick firmly to make the UAV ascend and exit the "Landing"state.

When using the Speedip V2+ (M350/M300 Model), a red "Infrared Sensor blocked" or "Sensor System Error" warning appears on DJI Pilot 2 App.

This error originates when multiple sensors on the UAV provide conflicting feedback, causing the UAV to believe an issue within its sensor system.

Please check:

1. Whether the downward-facing infrared sensor on the UAV is properly shielded according to the "User Manual";

2. Whether the Speedip V2+ connecting cables are securely fastened and not blocking any UAV sensors.

When using the Speedip V2+ (M350/M300 Model), an orange "OSDK Power Overload" warning appears on DJI Pilot 2 App.

This issue may be caused by an abnormality or damage to the OSDK interface on the DJI M350/M300 or the Speedip V2+ adapter. In this case, the UAV’s OSDK interface fails to provide voltage output. Please power off the UAV, unplug and re-plug the OSDK connector, and then restart the UAV. If the issue persists, please contact Soarability.

Can Speedip V2+ be integrated with a UAV dock for scheduled automatic water sampling?

It is theoretically feasible. Although Soarability does not offer a delicate dock solution, we can assist in connecting you with the dock solution providers if needed.
