Phantom Wetsuit - Crushes 26 minutes of Rain - lightning and Thunder.

[PhantomWetSuits]

We had to take a time out and have some fun with the new Phantom Rain Wetsuits.

We did some editing and slimmed it down but the STORM starts 15 minutes in.

Impressive. How did you protect the drone?
How did the video turn out?

Got any videos showing the AC's internals after such a test?

That is a great idea, in the beginning we had to keep taking the drone apart to look for water, and taking temps on everything, So that is coming maybe a disassemble of the drone after the storm.
Thank you

Hit me up when u guys release one for the phantom 3.

Herd, thank you,

Anything planned for the Mavic?

 

[Neon Euc]

How about slipping some paper under the coat and then fly it in the rain? If the paper is not soggy and dry then it will show it works

 

[CANEKiTA]

why not use humidity indicators on the inside

 

[Signal Tracer]

Well done! A post flight examination of the bird should prove interesting. I'd like to see how you would go about waterproofing the controller.

I don't get it. What's the purpose? Is the rain kept off the lens?

Wet wetsuits let water in lol. Dry-suits don't.

To be taken serious there needs to be independent, third-party, test results to prove the claims.

Other wise I think you'll just be 'taken".

Yep... I did send a private message to do a real life test and free advertisement and video review for them in exchange for one but didn't get a response or even a curtsey message back.

I wouldn't read much into the lack of response (yet).
So you'll use your personal a/c to test this?

Not me. Send me everything and no-strings-attached.

Given the openings in the top of the motors alone, this is nothing I'd do with my own equipment.

I was thinking the same thing. Then I came across this.

[emoji4] I would happily test my own aircraft with your product. You only get one shot in life and I tend to make the most of it. If you look at my YouTube review channel you will see how far I go to test each product. I just recently recovered from my breaking my shoulder testing out a product and 2 years ago I broke my hip and leg at the same time testing another product. Do I regret it? Not at all. All part of life and learning [emoji4]

Interesting concept but, as stated, this needs to be tested in an unbiased manner with breakdown to show if moisture is indeed kept out as advertised. The fact that you provide no warranty on your product in it's primary function is, well... rather ridiculous. A pair of test videos could be nothing more than luck and someone downing their $1000+ investment with no support other than stating, "hey, it worked for us" is not a professional business model.
Good luck with your R&D, but no one should be risking their quads at this point. Just my humble opinion...

I get it. As long as I don't mind the continuous motion of wiper blades in my video I can fly in the rain, that is if my controller doesn't short out.
