New AIR 3 Wet Suits Shipping : The new Bolt Wet Suits are AWESOME !!!

[Phantomrain.org]

These rain videos are great. Just got my Air 3 the other day. I'm eyeing the blue one. Was wondering, what's the possibility of getting neon green? I was thinking your neon blue with the neon green would make for an interesting color combination.

That would be interesting, I can do both Neon Green and Neon Blue for you, just send me a few pictures when your up and running.

Did you already order if not let me have your email in a PM and I will send you out an invoice with the colors .

My question is, is there instructions or video to be able to install…

I recently bought for my mini 4 and there were not real instructions included with the drone or available for this model drone online… it did not go well, with many parts left over, and I was pretty frustrated with the attempted back and forth of trying to message on where this piece goes, and where that piece goes. I personally need clear instructions, as these come with about 40 tiny pieces and parts.

I purchased these suits and was very happy in the past, clear back to the original Mavic pro days… but…..

Thanks for reaching out , there are about 12 Parts and the forum members get the Extra Parts package and the Extra Color Designs so it seems like a lot but the instal is about 5 minutes email me at [email protected] for the instructional package.

How’s about the link

 

[AlaskanGuy]

Sooo this is what the kit looks like… now, I do not want to trial and error this. Taking pieces on and off means they don’t t stick as well. I started by emailing you at both of your email addys that were listed in the intro piece of paper, and also messaged you on your website via the “chat window”. Now I am ready to rock and roll, and……. I wait your arrival instead of going at it in my convienance. I hate to sound like I am picking on you. Just provide the instructions please, in the package or on your website. Why is that a problem?

 

[AlaskanGuy]

Perhaps we should take a Vote…

I ordered a red set… and unfortunatly, some of the pieces in red are missing… so looks like I have to use mix and match to get my install up in the air…

How’s about the link

Thanks for reaching out , we try to keep a personal link to every client , thus when you email us for the instructions we can make sure your up and running , its really that simple.

I do see that the yahoo email you are using has blocked all or the emails we have sent to you ,

I can also look back at your other emails you sent us for the instructions for the Mavic Pro , nothing has changed and thanks for your continued support.

Some Neoprene Parts are made only in Black, this is to add contrast to the drone in sky which makes it easier to see. These special parts are also thicker and use a different adhesive strength.

Ok.. I am done. I have used yahoo mail for over 20 years. You are not on my block list… another reason why it would be nice to get the instructions online, for those that might have challenged email servers. I am done.

I made you a custom link for you, to get around the Yahoo Block an posted them in the Chat but this explains why you did not get the Proper Setup email and instructions. Sorry about that.

If you need any extra parts or battery covers for your Mavic Pro I will be glad to send them out to you for the inconvenience

I have been using electrical tape on multiple drones for years with no issues, applied only over critical areas.

Plasti-dip has also worked.

Your neoprene solution seems needlessly excessive (many areas you cover do not need 'protected'), overly complicated and expensive along with adding significant angles and vertices which create more wind resistance, and neoprene does absorb water.


I find your product a curiously bizarre 'solution'.

I get excited about others flying in the Rain, that is our Passion so Please Post any Videos you have of you flying in the Pouring Rain , all of us on the Forum would love to see it. >

Note : That the Phantomrain Wet Suits use a Closed Cell Neoprene and do not Absorb Water.

Note: That the Phantomrain Wet Suits are 0.3 Ounces and do not offer any Measurable Wind Resistance

Note: We did as you say take a Very Extreme approach to Engineering the Wet Suit to fly in the Rain. and thus why we sold over 25 Thousand units.

Advanced Research !

Note: We Started with Submerging each drone to find the weak links, an reversed-engineered the Wet Suits.

The Wet Suits Create an Air Tight Seals where needed as well as Redirect Air Flow while keeping the Rain out and providing Air Tight Seals on the Battery and Power Button.

Sadly I really do not believe that you have flown for years in the Rain with just electrical Tape. Nope !

We Have hundreds of videos posted of our wet suits negotiating the pouring rain on this forum alone and it took the Phantomrain Wet Suits to get the job done right and thus our Wet Suits are used all over the world.

Keep in mind the Wet Suits offer a 5 Minute Install and the Rescue Jakets offer a 1-minute install.
and how cool is that. ? Fly in the Rain, Land on the Water without Electrical Tape is my new motto.

Seriously though if you truly have been flying in the Rain, Post the video of your quick fix in action. and get a Rescue Jacket , there awesome.

That the Phantomrain Wet Suits are 0.3 Ounces and do not offer any Measurable Wind Resistance

Measured result from flight tests comparing maximum speed?

Note: We Started with Submerging each drone to find the weak links, an reversed-engineered the Wet Suits.

It's difficult to see any benefit from submerging a drone in water. The potential water entry points seem obvious: the large air inlet behind the gimbal, cooling air entrances and exits, battery edges, joints in the plastic shell, connection points for motor arms, and switches. I'd guess that lights and sensors are comparatively well sealed.

I agree with @Xi Zhou that some of those potential entry points could be sealed with tape. The most difficult is probably the large cooling air inlet behind the gimbal. How can the cooling airflow redirected to prevent it from carrying water into the interior of the drone while maintaining full flow?

Were each of the submerged drones operable after being dried? If so, it would be interesting to know what drying method you used. (It might be useful for those who subject their drones to involuntary immersion tests.)

Have you actually had one in your hands and have applied and used it, or are you simply blowing smoke here, yet another ignorant critic?

No, he uses electrical tape to what he deems the essential parts , and he is going to post his videos of him flying his drone with the Electrical Tape in the Rain. .

That's a mite harsh, isn't it? He posed a reasonable comment based on his experience. In fact, a number of valid questions have been raised. This is far from a smoke-free topic, after all.

No its valid , He is pretty clueless about the Wet Suit and he has Posted Zero Proof of him flying in the Rain with the electrical tape. , Speaking of smoking i may pick up smoking by the time I see a video of him flying his drone in the Rain.

You may have had further communications with him to arrive at the conclusion that he's clueless. I see no evidence of that. If video evidence is the gold standard, one might ask about video evidence of submersion tests on each of the DJI models for which wet suits have been made.

I remain curious about the questions raised in post #115.
