Lifejacket for Mavic Finished

Dragonfly · Feb 17, 2017

Ive finally found the last pieces to complete the water landing gear for Mavic Pro. After much searching I found a egg type plastic shell that held a toy that split in half to open and was the perfect shape and size to fit in the ends of the noodles to make them more aerodynamic. This gives the water landing gear a better look and remains lightweight at 100gms.
The water landing gear will hold up over 1kg of weigh with ease and the Mavic at 730 gms sits in the water at about a third of the noodles.
Now very happy to fly over water knowing should anything go wrong my Mavic wont end up at the bottom thanks to its lifejacket/water gear.

Send video of the Mavic attached to it doing a water landing and start

That's pretty **** cool
Is the holder 3D printed or Makeshift too?

edit: xxx is a swear? lol

Quite clever - well done. I too would like to see the Mavic mounted atop this.

I want the cost, the parts, and the labor needed as well as a video demonstration. This would sell like hotcakes.

Nice design - like others I'd like to see it integrated to the MP and I'd love to see it on the water!

Personally I think I would prefer it without the plastic caps on the ends.

I'd like to see it flying in sports mode and also landing/launching on water.

Can you share the 3D file for the print of the item that holds everything together? Is that what this is?
