Glad the US Distributor for these has been out of stock, been waiting for these since getting the Vision. I wonder if the Vision would sink slower and give the buoys time to inflate before sinking deeper?syotr said:You may want towatch this before buying water-bouys.

The compass does not seem to be bothered by fresh water. If there are water drops on it then it will show that it needs calibration but it works fine after being dried off.gunslinger said:syotr said:Landing and take offs with water bottles on arms.

I'm not sure I'd be comfortable submerging my compass, even if it had a plastic bag tied around it. It looked like the GoPro was slightly submerged too. Do they have watertight cases?
It looks like he used the stock screws to screw the bottlecaps under the motors, then just screwed the bottles onto the caps?
:roll:

The GoPro was in it's waterproof housing.
I used the longer screws from the prop guards to mount the bottle caps then screwed the bottles to the caps.
In a later version, I used Ibuprofen bottles and some styrofoam floats attached inside the landing skids.
The real purpose of all of these was not to intentionally land and take off from water but to keep the quad from sinking in the event of an accidental water landing.

Funnily enough flying high over water doesn't give me the same pucker factor as flying just a few feet over it. There's a clip in the video where I go right into the centre of the river close to an old stone bridge to get a shot through the arch... when I got her back over dry land after that one I didn't know whether I was about to cr@p myself or was so clenched I'd never go again! :lol:

Beautiful footage! Nice smooth panning and flight video... please share what Phantom platform/camera/gimbal you are using. Did the flooding breech the banks near London or mostly in the rural areas??
