We make the Wet Suits to even out the playing field for all those that have learned to make serious money with there drone ..

In Ohio alone we had last year 133 days of rainfall: 60 inches of rain.

In Virginia its 109 days or Rainfall:
In Alabama its 117 days of Rainfall:
In Wisconsin its 121 days of Rainfall:
In Alaska its 103 days of Rainfall:
In Hawaii its 154 days of Rainfall:
In California it 32 days of Rainfall:
In Georgia its 130 days of Rainfall:
In Washington its 150 days of Rainfall:

Compare this to the UK: 156 days of Rainfall:


Once you start to understand that this drone is a tool that many have learned to make money with you will appreciate getting those flying days back.

This is where Phantomrain.org shines : We have the tools to give you back many of those days.

One of the hardest things to show on camera in the air is rain. I have posted rain videos repeatedly where I am flying in the Heavy Rain but it does not show up on the camera or the lens at all.

The only time I can really show it raining is from a secondary camera, to show this that it is in fact raining. The video below shows 3am Lighting Storm with heavy Rain and yet look at the pictures, you just cannot see the rain.

When rain does get on the lens which is not very often, the camera shoots right thru it like a window many times.

These were shot in 4K and just Clips from the Video that was shot during the 26 minutes of video .
You can hear my excitement as the downpour continues , lightning hits the sky and the drone takes the Torrential downpour with ease, , flew the very next day, no rice, no towel dry, not a single drop in the camera or the battery, and still is flying today after 100 or so showers.

The next day I filmed the 5 times slow motion to show how the Wet Suit and the Phantom negotiate water , rain, drips , drops and how to use the C2 key to shake off any drops or flakes.

You can check out the video of the Storm these were shot in on my website: Phantomrain.org
Its 26 minutes and its truly a torrential downpour.

You can hear my excitement as the bolts of lighting shoot thru the clouds. in a Pitch black environment as the lights went out all over town.

I love your shots of the lighting. I got caught in the rain and my lens got blurry. If I can get some time, I’ll post it..

So a blurry lens can sometimes happen if you did not acclimate the drone to the weather conditions.

You would be surprised the number of people that do not know how to fly backward when video taping in the rain. This really helps those who are getting video for Cinematic reasons.
