[@GarethDix]

This is already making waves, lets hope this has a ripple effect on waterproofing quads for the future

[@Vousie]

One really important thing you guys missed: Both antennas are mounted high up so they're about level with the float because water is really good at blocking RF so if they're under water you may failsafe/lose video.

[@mikestrout]

Imagine flying big surf tubes. It would be epic.

[@NURKFPV]

I can only hope

[@BartMolkenboer]

For every drone pilot around here, this is just pure amusement. Love the video guys, well done as well on the waterproof build, this is just genius!

[@airfriedquadsbw]

Spent my summers at Holland State Park. Lived there, my grandparents were the ones who ran the concessions. CRUSE notes were great. Wish I had a quadcopter back then. Thanks for the memorie awaking!

[@WrongWayFPV]

This quad is perfect for where I live in Oregon. Flying over water is one of my favorite things to do. And I've been doing it without even conformal coating lol. But I trust my builds, and my ability.

Just with air mode off you can kind of get it to drive around like a boat it's hilarious.

How is the motor winding enable holding up with being water proofed?

haha. Interesting and novel news and information. If you can definitely check the waterproof maintenance status, this waterproof drone has no choice but to be the best.

That's the goal

[@camdynkellett6782]

I've looked at these quads and they look awesome! However I fly in super harsh and extremely windy conditions so I don't know if the waterproofing is up to it... Would a quad like this hold up in salt water with the main components well waterproofed? (I know the motors will get destroyed eventually) I've double layer conformal coated my electronics but I'm still looking for a more robust way to waterproof. Fun video guys!

1 question i remember from last year flying in cold weater, my FPV cam wil fog up and i did not fly futhers. ( it was also in my first months of FPV ) is there a coating that prevent the lens from fogging up? or just a simple hack wil do.

[@soumynonareverse7807]

great video. I'm searching for a fun drone to fly with. Is there a go between in a freestyle and a long range drone. It has to be under 250 grams. Preferably way under that.

[@bobguy6542]

I've never flown a drone and I'm not even slightly interested in buying one. **This is just great content.** I wonder if having a "deployable" float would be more conducive to normal flyers without messing with the aero so much. Like a nano sized compressed air canister with an inflatable bag being lighter weight and less volume than the pool noodle on top.

[@airtechfpv]

hey you should spray the lense with rainx and the gopro
