Ha! Love it.

Hey JohnnyB, it's tax time ;)

There are now reviews of the WaterStrider on Amazon here Amazon.com : WaterStrider for DJI Phantom 3 and Phantom 4 : Amazon Launchpad Take a look!

If you want something thoroughly tested, that has less impact on battery life and more reliability than a DIY solution you can check out www.DroneRafts.com :)

Indeed, that's an odd behavior that I would not attribute to flying over water. We usually fly over water (and land on it) with VPS off. That said, the only thing I've noticed with VPS on is a tendency to follow the waves once the drone is within 1 meter of the surface. Controller calibration...

rprieto, actually we've demonstrated you can land on the ocean and in quite a range of conditions. Our WaterStrider is now on 6 continents including Antarctica and many of them for research aids. It turns out we find it easier to launch from the water than the deck or hand launching. And, it...

If it gets rinses thoroughly in distilled water and thoroughly dried very soon after the salt water exposure and tested, we would be interested. How long since it got dunked?

Certainly, Jesse, thanks for asking. We will be releasing a P4P version this Spring so please stay tuned. You can be the first informed by subscribing to our mailing list in the link below. Newsletter

So sorry for your loss...and frustration. We empathize with you and with your interest in flying over water. So, as a gesture of our empathy please feel free to email me directly for a %20 discount code for our WaterStrider landing gear for Phantoms, which allows landing on water among other...

Carrying around a landing pad can get cumbersome, especially while backcountry hiking in Myanmar or just packing light on your flight to Lake Garda. And a busted camera from a wonky landing in the rocks will just make your whole kit a backpack of useless luggage for the rest of the trip. Those...
