The Amazing PowerEgg-X Drone - Waterproof Accessory Kit in the snow - Review - PART 3

[@chrisbaishdrones]

I've realised I consistently watch your videos even when they aren't about a product I'm particularly interested in. I like your content and find it informative, relaxed and easy to watch. Definitely my favourite drone related channel. Thanks for sharing hours of well-made, honest videos over the years. 👍👍

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you!

[@scottykardos]

Pretty neat...looks real industrial.

[@abandonedscotland6558]

Even tho I can’t afford a lot of these drones I still love watching everyone !! Getting such a good understanding of everyone’s quality. Looking faward to the hubzan zino 2

[@eagleeyeviewimages]

I know how you feel

[@nochanceman8181]

Im the same 😁

[@nyfo29]

this just may be the coolest drone out there

[@stephenlittle7534]

I really like the look of this drone. It works great in the snow. As you hoped. Thanks.

[@dalepremo3695]

That was spectacular. I know the egg shape lends itself to this case, but this really points out that this feature is LONG overdue in general. And the pontoons are such a simple and practical addition that all other serious drone makers should have offered long ago. Excellent review Cap'n!

[@tb303wpf1]

I wouldn't even call this a drone. It's a gimbal camera, pontoon plane, hovercraft, drone, and an egg. All in one! It's like a swiss army knife with wings......or props rather. Lol. The Yuneec Q500 has the handheld gimbal camera too. The camera technology on drones is really pushing the envelope. And it's changing the size and ability of high end image sensors. 1 inch sensors on drones is just crazy. Another great video CAPTAIN!!!! Thanks brother!

[@johnhmaw]

Another great video. Thanks for mentioning about the water protection on the controller.

[@skyquads1930]

What a great idea. It wont be long before other manufacturers produce similar for their drones. Great video.

[@SPL]

Aw-Shucks, Captain Drone at his finest. Working in zero degrees! Pretty cold here in California tomorrow. Gonna be only 72 degrees F. 😜👊

[@Northstar-Media]

Great creative ideas & design from powervision & definitely different 👌

[@startupexpeditions5456]

Great footage!!! We just flew our drone in the snow today and it was a blast.

[@Luberema1]

Looks like a fun drone, also with very good gadgets !.

[@williamcool2411]

Nice add on to the drone

[@Mike76Unity]

The golden goose egg in drone land 👌🏼

[@pds4184]

They need to make a fish finder( small sonar for fishing) attachment to go along with the spiffy case. The sonar results could piggy back on the carrier wave for the drone to the display. Great video Steve.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

PDS They have a fish finder unit so maybe one day the two will work together

[@gguido7542]

I love it! Very versatile. Thanks for the video

[@iamsealfish]

I purchased one except without the waterproof kit because I didn’t know that was available when I made my purchase. I would think it would be available as a separate purchase later. The extra screws are included because per manual it says to replace those and throw the old ones away and not to reuse them. Maybe it’s because of the type of locknut used on them. Some of that stuff reacts strangely to different types of plastic and they have it on the screws. Not sure that’s the reason but maybe it is. I do like the drone and the way it flys. Enjoy your channel and keep droning!

[@blazenicholls3590]

Great review Captain nice and warm in New Zealand 👍 Ive got a boat and do some fresh water fishing. This kit appeals to me

[@tonyowen116]

Thanks Steve for your PowerEgg-X update. It was cool to see this drone dawning a pair of pontoons, aka - sort of snow shoes in this application. Water test is next. Indoor pool somewhere, or wait until the ice and snow melt late this Spring? Think the pontoons would work well in sandy conditions. (DJI are you listening?????) PowerEgg-X certainly has a bit more to offer in operating environments. Cheers....

[@ForeIndication]

Now that is what I am talking about, so freakin' slick.

[@Okie-Tom]

Looks like a pretty neat little drone!

[@ce-750pilot3]

Captain! An amazing little drone with the clever waterproof accessory kit! When you first reviewed it, I wasn’t too interested, but now that they added the waterproof kit, I am ordering one! I have a lot of small lakes and ponds in my neck of the woods, and it looks like a lot of fun! Keep up the great work-I sure enjoy your reviews😃🛩.........

[@eagleeyeviewimages]

I love the details in your videos and dedication,,,,,, -32 degrees in Louisiana we wouldn't be able to move much less fly a egg😁 That is cold

[@HomeDronen]

[@RobertGlazier]

Congratulations on 100k subscribers. Great as always. Thanks.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you!

[@gpierre90]

One of the most interesting drones i've seen. The waterproof feature adds some more uses to it like flying in snow or rain. Will like to see how well it performs in the rain with the waterproof casing. Looks decent in the snow although anti fog is needed.

[@user-bc8sy9vx4g]

Now that's a nice drone something really different love it captain 👍

You have worked extremely hard to get where you are now on KZbin and deserve every bit of praise you get. God Bless you and your Family Keep up the great job my friend

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

RICK HALBUR Thank you greatly Rick!

[@AddyOverbeeke]

Pretty cool Captain. The drone looks awesome with pontoons. I would like to see that for other drones. I don't know why Drone manufacturers do not apply polymer conformal coatings to all electrical circuits and motor/gimbal components making them IP67. It's not that difficult to do in an OEM manufacturing process. Most Cell Phones are now IP65 o IP67 rated now. The Company I worked for would apply these coatings to all aerospace electronics for use by NASA, Military, and Aviation programs.

[@AkoyErmin]

I love my PowerEgg X. I am enjoying it very much.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Great to hear!

[@Ohios1Cheesehead]

I can't buy this drone as my main craft... But I sure do want it! Flying though snow, dense fog and rain would be awesome.

Seems cool. Makes me think why we can’t fab up a pontoon type leg for any drone.

[@thecentralscrutinizerr]

I'm pretty sure you can build some foam landing pads out of some foam tubing and some velcro strips to fit just about any drone. I wonder if shrink wrapping a drone will make it waterproof...🤔

[@AlmostHomestead]

I really like this drone but there are several videos and amazon reviews that mention camera issues...soft focus and poor image quality. I hope they work the issues out with the camera.

[@MikeKinney8675]

The incredible, " not edible" egg. Most versatile drone in the world. Thanks for showing us the complete set up. Forgot to ask, I guess you can land on water?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Mike Kinney Yes it lands nicely on water. There are a few user videos out showing this.

[@johnk8825]

The more you show that drone the more interesting it gets. Is there room to put one or two of the little desiccant packs that come packed with many electronic items. Recharge them in an oven, keep them in a sealed container and put them in the case before you go out in the snowy weather and see if it helps.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Johnny J Yes, in the rear of the bubble there is space.

[@CrazyPatric]

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you!

[@JosephValentinetti]

very nice...

[@jacquesdemolay2699]

I am impressed to notice that the camera gives a good picture quality even though it is looking through the plastic shell - of course the condensation should be removed for best effect. Perhaps there is an effective way to remove the fog on the plastic.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I only used a drop of the ANTI-FOG. If I used more, it may have been way more clear.

[@davidwiniger3799]

Spit is perfect for shower mirrors too

[@hoffstar96]

Looks like an underrated product for sure.

[@daviduk2510]

Still a great drone, though venting is needed. Maybe a bag of silica gel in the front. The best reviewer by far, in wind, rain and minus degrees with snow. Always check out your work and it's greatly appreciated. Also a nice jacket, what's the make please?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The jacket is called a KILLTEC LEVEL 5

[@thane5665]

Interested in seeing if loading the drone into it's shell in a warm vehicle BEFORE going out would help with reducing condensation.Perhaps a dessicant pack?

[@AshiqeRasool1]

Waiting for your review on hubson zino 2 is it a real mavic mini killer or can it be compared to mavic air...

Hey CD I With that 3D printer you probably make extension so you can make pontoon in a lot drones just a idea

[@hawkreaper1]

Hey Steve, we have spoken before I have recently received my Power EggX, haven't flown it yet, (maybe this weekend) have you done any battery life tests? maybe not feasible with the weather but it is supposed to be warming up soon:) I may do a range test when I go to Punta Cana with it in the spring

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

shawn Rodgers Batteries last around 25+ min in the cold. They do require at least 3 charges before you get full duration.

[@archsciontrismegistus4194]

I know its snow but its waterproof can you show that and camera effects in rain n water since its incased in plastic?cause that's its selling point, or I'll stick to sprell three since you can virtually dunk it in water, thanks you give the best specs of all.

[@driewiel]

Grass looks very white. Did you try a bottle Puke?

[@loso7799]

So do you think you could fly this drone in the rain with this case and it be safe ? Plus i liked the fog in the video it looked great to me but what do i know nice video by the way

[@AshiqeRasool1]

Cool drone!!! Just wondering how can we protect our cell phones specially when its raining....

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Ashiq e Rasool Most ‘quality’ cell phones are rated for water (rating of IP 68). If not, then you’d to attach a waterproof case.

[@adampaul4566]

Great Video‼👍....ps~why do you suppose they put "blinders" over the optical avoidance sensors ❓

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Adam Paul My guess is The plastic bubble would affect the sensors with how light bounces around inside.

[@controlgomez818]

I wish you will do the range test on the power egg Maybe in the spring CD Maybe do both in the mini too

[@stussyhuff]

Thank you for braving the cold to review the egg's Accessories, if landed on water, would it flip ? Or maintain it's position..

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Stuss H If a big wave hit it, well it may flip but it would remain watertight.

[@monsterfeet6926]

CAPTAIN DRONE Hopefully it will float long enough to allow retrieval. Also you are not brave until you land that egg in actual water. May I suggest the Ottawa River or Lake Ontario.

Good day sir. Obviously the brushless motors can withstand some water being exposed like that? I've heard brushless motors in general are ok with small amounts of water?

][V][ark Galgay Very true. That is why RC cars with brushless motors can be run through water or used in the rain. RC boats with brushless motors work great as well.

[@markgalgay]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Valid points. Thank you sir. Have a good day!

[@DannyFyffe]

I like the idea, but the way it cripples the smartshots, OA, etc. is a bit of a downer. I didn't know it would do that. It would still be nice for flying around the water. Wondering if you have since tested it with more of the anti-fog on it to see if it stops the fogging? In some ways, the fogging made a nice vignette in the image. ;-)

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Danny Fyffe It is certainly designed for water which means a warmer climate. Anti-fog works better in such situations. In my test I only put a drop of anti-fog and smeared it around. Different products would give different results. The good thing is that the plastic cover has no effect on image distortion or sharpness, all looked good.

[@hopidushibosa]

Dear Captain drone, I have a request...most the time you talk about the flying time. Can you also include the distance? Also I live on a very windy Island can you recommend drones for windy places? Thanks...keep up the good drone work.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

In my REVIEW #1 of this drone I included the stated flight distance. However I can't fully test such a distance because I live in Canada and we have certain drone regulations. When it comes to wind it is very simple. Every drone with GPS and brushless motors can fly in the wind. The only thing you as a consumer have to be aware of is that the WIND SPEED can NEVER exceed the forward flight speed of a drone or else you'll never get it back.

[@hopidushibosa]
