Camera is in its waterproof housing so not a problem.robinbuzios said:Wow! Those bottles are going to act like sails in the air. This has got to be a gag mod, right? The camera will get wet on water, and the phantom will fly like a cork in a washing machine. I'll donate 10 bucks to the first person to fly with this mod, land on water, then post the video! (you'll need the 10 bucks..) :lol:

I had a ziplock bag over one of the landing struts to keep the compass dry.eyecon82 said:what fell off the Phantom in the last second?syotr said:Camera is in its waterproof housing so not a problem.robinbuzios said:Wow!

I have tried many float systems. This one worked well enough to keep the bird from sinking. In a slow descent into calm water, maybe none of the electronics would get wet. It was never my intent to land and take off from water, just keep it on the surface for recovery in case of an accidental water landing. Many of the places I am shooting video is over extreme whitewater with big waves and fast water flow, so any water landing would get the internals wet. That's why I built a completely waterproof quad that floats.H-town Custom said:Thats really cool! defiantly takes away from the looks, but it sure works!
I think he owes you 10 bucks!

Here's a baked idea. Put 2 inches of water in the front bottles, then insert 2 goldfish, then fly 'em around so we can watch their expressions! Bet it would do well on youtube, just need to think of a funny caption!
