Have you guys seen this? Pretty slick device. Somewhat specialized though, seems to be a one trick pony. But it is a pretty cool trick.

Waterproof, floating drone. Land it on the water easily or splash it... It rights itself, films underwater. And then lifts off again.

 
Nothing new, the SplashDrone (or Mariner II) is available since about 2 years already. They just made some improvements such as the new cover with integrated GPS antenna while in earlier versions the GPS antenna was within the fuselage. with flat cover.
I have a Mariner II since summer 2015, but equipped with a Xaircraft MiniX flight controller instead of their (assumed) PixHawk based one. And my 5.8GHz transmitter is placed above the cover to have room for a SP antenna instead of using an overpowered 600mW tx inside with just a cable antenna.
Here you can see takeoff and landing on water:
