Thinking of designing a waterproof, floating shell with mounts made for Phantom parts. The idea would be that all guts from a Phantom could be transferred to the new shell for safe flying over water. There would be a water tight door for battery access, vents for the barometer, heat sinks for ESC's and ports for lights. Weight could be not much more than the original Phantom shell but with enough volume to float. Mounts would be provided for the GoPro in it's housing. A waterproof gimbal might be a later option. Do you think there is a market for this? What would you pay for such a shell?
There are some waterproof shells available now but they are not very light, aerodynamic or well suited for the Phantom parts.
