Can you really waterproof an FPV drone? If so, can it operate under the water? Let's find out! Build info and links below...
Note:
I post affiliate links when available. If you one of the links to make a purchase, then I can earn a small commission. It's an easy way for you to help support this channel at no cost to yourself. Thanks!
If you're looking for a drone like my "ShutterBug85", then you can build one or buy the RTF drone from BetaFPV. They call it the Beta85 Pro 2 (yes I gave them permission to use my formula, but not my name).
