FINALLY a good drone that you that isn't going to end up on the bottom of the ocean! For us guys flying drones from boats the whole business of getting aerial footage can become an expensive and nerve wracking nightmare... well not anymore!
I've lost four DJI drones to the bottom of the ocean so far, one because a super yacht had a jammer to stop paparazzi snooping on VIP's ( I wasn't! I was filming the classic yacht racing off Monty Carlo) One had a battery fault and performed a perfect auto landing 100 yards behind the boat and sank as we sailed away! One inexplicably lost control and ditched and one was a bad take off from me while sailing single handed, I clipped the solar arch.
All of these resulted in the loss of a drone and all would have been absolutely fine if I had been flying a Power Egg X. I would simply have gone back and picked up the floating drone.
I've had a waterproof drone before, the Swellpro Splash drone, but this was an expensive failure. So I'm very happy to report the Power Eggs is the first usable waterproof drone I've flown and I'm looking forward to an enjoyable seasons flying from the boat instead of dreading losing another expensive piece of machinery every time I want a shot of us sailing from the air.
If you are interested in buying one of these drones have a look at the store link here: https://bit.ly/3xLRWK8
We had a discount code of 'SailingFair' for the submarine, I have sent an email to Power Vision to see if this will work for the Egg, if anyone tries it do let us know if it works.
P.S. and regular viewers will know I've stopped flying DJI drones as they are getting so flaky the last one I bought was incapable of taking a firmware update because of DJI's broken software and has never even been able to take off since I bought in at xmas. So I'm doubly glad to find this one.
