This is the best way, in my opinion, to waterproof your drone! It worked so well, is super cheap, and is easy to use. Shout out to Brandan FPV for making this stuff.

@TheVeganarchism
@TheVeganarchism Рік тому
The way it lifts back up out of the water is mind-boggling. I reckon if you set it to return to home as the failsafe, it would automatically shoot itself back up through the surface as soon as it lost radio signal…or rocket down to the bottom if it was upside down, of course.
@georgeashcroft
@georgeashcroft Рік тому
I know right it’s mad! That’s actually not a bad idea, although I think waterproofing a GPS may have some effect on GPS signal, and also it’d probably lose gps signal in the water too? Maybe one to test!!
@TheVeganarchism
@TheVeganarchism Рік тому
I’ve never had reason to test it in real life, but if I’m not mistaken Betaflight GPS Rescue has an initial altitude setting that would cause it to shoot back up vertically before trying to orient towards home - that motion would probably be enough to re-connect to the transmitter so the GPS isn’t critical as long as you still have video.

So when it's dry, is it a rubbery coating or a more epoxy-like one? I have an aerosol can of MG Chemicals 422(IK I should've gotten liquid not aerosol), and I'm wondering whether or not to use this instead. 5:54 is what's raising the concern; if a craft knife or soldering iron can't get it off the connector, it's a no-go for me.
@georgeashcroft
@georgeashcroft Рік тому
It’s a rubbery silicone type material, it coul easily come off by peeling or using a craft knife. I just don’t think it’s be easy to save the cable with all the worry free in all the nooks and crannies. But if you have a replacement cable it would be totally fine 👌🏻 This stuff is definitely different from the MG Chem stuff, I have the liquid and that won’t make it fully waterproof IMO, I think it’s because this stuff is thick and creates a full layer of waterproofing it works a treat 💪🏻

KindFPV is right, as long as you have a solid connection on the xt60, the battery should be fine. I completely forgot to include the part where i put a small dab of worry free on the outside of the XT60 connector on the drone. But i still dont think it's absolutely necessary. The positive and negative on an xt60 are just about far enough apart not to cause a short when in the water i think.

@sulphur_fpv
@sulphur_fpv Рік тому
Whilst the cells themselves are sealed the terminals on the ends of each cell are not and are only seperated by either thick paper, plastic, tape or a mix of them together. Water has a direct path to the terminals on the sides where the discharge and balance wires go in to attach to the terminals. Freshwater water is no where near as conductive as saltwater so a small short across the terminals in freshwater is no big deal but saltwater will destroy your battery quite quickly. Based of about 10 different batteries that I've had end up in saltwater, any longer than a minute or two and they are toast. Spraying corrosionX or similar ( not WD-40) in where the discharge and balance leads go helps a lot ( I flood it with it personally then let it dry) Other than having the battery in a sealed container it is the next best thing IMO, unless you want to remove the heat shrink etc and coat the terminals lol

You really don't need to. The battery is pretty much waterproof by itself.

Also are the usb ports water proof too then? And the moters i think are right?

@@evandoyle891 if the xt60 connector isn't damaged it is waterproof, but you still need to seal the other end. The same with USB port, just seal the pins behind it. Coils on brushless motor are already coated, if they weren't the motor would just fry. Also don't ever try to submerge a brushed motor, but I guess you are not using it for FPV drone anyway.

@@evandoyle891 Forgot to mention, when I wrote about sealing XT60, just coat the place where you soldered cables to it (make sure you do it well), don't coat pins inside the connector tho.

How do you water proof your battery?

@georgeashcroft Рік тому
Good question, you don’t. Just Fpv worry free around your xt60 connectors. The battery (if Undamaged) shouldn’t get damaged by water and as long as the xt60 connection is tight, no water will get in. Just make sure to let the battery fully dry out before charging or flying again 🙌🏻

Looks like it's just clear silicone?
I didn't waterproof my drone. Now I'm paying the price.
