A brand of its own for fishing
CanFish is CHASING’s fishing brand. If you open the F1 Pro on chasing.com, you now end up at canfishcam.com. The history of the range: F1 (2020), F1 Pro (2022), CF1 (2023), Fishing CamX (2024) and the CF1 with AI (2025). Next up is the F2, with sonar, camera, AI and navigation, currently in development – there is no date yet.
How the fish detection works
The camera sends its picture to the app. There, a trained image model continuously checks whether fish are in view – and sends you a notification. So you don’t have to keep staring at the display.

For hobby pilots
The F1 Pro is more of a floating fish finder with a camera than a freely diving drone. If fishing is your main interest, you get a lot for your money. If you want to film and explore, you are better served by a classic underwater drone from our ranking.
