Skip all the hoopla and go to 1:42 and start watching.
This looks interesting but I would want something I could put on and take off easily. ]
What type of connectors were you using on the LiPo that survived immersion in water? I can't remember the exact type I use - the ones that seem to come "standard" with Horizon Hobby products. It never dawned on me that I could use a type that might be water resistant. I just wanted connectors that are tight enough not to come loose during flight. (Referring, of course, to LiPo "brick" type batteries.)

Connectors make no difference because all LiPo's have unsealed tabs on their cells for leads to connect to. They may look sealed - but that plastic heat shrink cover is not.
FYI - I use both Deans and XT60's ... with 4mm bullets on my high power stuff.

This looks promising.
This looks promising.
It's a Phantom 1 and the video is from 4 years ago.First thought is that it's Photoshopped. However, it looks pretty authentic.
Don't know what was done to the guts of the Phantom, but that does NOT appear to
be a stock Phantom camera.
The rest, though, if authentic, is pretty impressive.
Maybe make holes through the foam to let the air travel through [emoji4]View attachment 86034 How did you overcome the problem with propwash over the pontoons? I made a similar set of floats got my P4, and the drone would start spinning 3 minutes into the flight because of the airflow over the pontoons.
Don't those have a pretty steep sticker price?Have you looked at the Waterstrider by Dronecraft?
Very cool (and cheap). I am going to do this too. Thanks!!When flying over water I'll slap these on just to be safe especially after my pro went down in the lake
