Not mine and long vid......
Two problems.... Top heavy and nose diving in sports mode.
Have you done this yet Coal?
A lot of thinking after watching these two videos...Yes we were well aware of the Sensor Problem prior to the Last UPDATE that fixed it,
This is why we did not Release the Rescue Jackets until the Sensors were fixed.
He had no control after he pulled up out of the water and was doomed. lol
He also made a fatal mistake by pulling the Floats forward that did not help him in the least.
Once the Mini 2 got the Update we were good to go: Our design so much more stream lined and the center of gravity so much better for negotiating the water.

Gear to fly your Mini 2 in the Rain and Land on Water.
The Wet Suits Primary purpose is to protect the Mini 2 open ports and to protect the sensors .A lot of thinking after watching these two videos...
The wet suits and rescue jackets provide a lot of safety and the video shows that.
Do the rescue jackets act also as wet suits too?
Also I wander about the ways water get through the drone and what parts could be still usable or spare parts for the same kind of models. I guess they are like smart phones...
I sent my drone through light rain or fog even I wasn't sure about it but it seems the drone is still fine. It is interesting when they say if your drone gets wet place it (cover?) in rice. I will keep this in mind ?
I really think that the device in the second video would have flipped if it hit the water at that angle also.
Are there regs for the submarine drones? You might hit a diver or a ship. Do you need VLOS? Can you carry explosives? A mobile mine. Oh my gods, think of the damage. And what about swimmers at the beaches. Oh the humanity.I too have seen both videos. The second one for the second time now.
I want to tell you that I think you did an excellent job on the narrative and pre-dispelling most criticism that might have come your way by pointing out mistakes and also jovially poking fun at yourself. It is too bad more people don't feel that way and have a better attitude like that. I really think that the device in the second video would have flipped if it hit the water at that angle also. I have the noodles for my M2Pro. I originally thought them a good idea. I would rather get the device that pops off and pulls your drone to the surface for recovery. But after looking at some VERY cool underwater drones like the Chasing M2 and QYC Fifish with mechanical arms...I think I may have to get one of those so I can dive the wrecks that I can see from the air with my airborne drones. And, if anyone near me loses one in the water; I can possibly help them recover the (body).
Thanks for a great video.
LOL...but the rescue jacket looks vastly superior. I think his angle and rate of descent (even though it was a short drop) may have flipped the drone anyway. Almost anything can be used improperly and like you said; he was doomed from the start. I noticed right after I got my M2Pro that as I was flying over water at a low altitude the drone seemed to get lower and when I glance down at the screen; it had, in fact, dropped by about 7 feet. Then I joined MavicPilots and read a few posts about how the sensors work. They should have a few dozen dos and dont's posted for newer fliers.That is total nonsense : My Rescue Jackets are designed when they sense danger to sprout Dragon wings and Propel straight up scorching the sky.
The Front of the Rescue Jackets only stick out about 1 inch compared to the 4 inches on the Noodle.
The Rescue Jackets are amazing in how well they Perform with there low Profile and weight.
He was doomed with the sensor problem and sliding the Noodles forward , I already knew what was going to happen the moment I saw him move the noodles forward,

Still can't stop laughing while I am typing...THANK YOU!!Are there regs for the submarine drones? You might hit a diver or a ship. Do you need VLOS? Can you carry explosives? A mobile mine. Oh my gods, think of the damage. And what about swimmers at the beaches. Oh the humanity.
True: How many posts have we seen where there was a crash because the new pilots relied on the sensors, quite a few but even more with relying on the Active Tracking; If you do decide to get a Rescue Jacket for the M2 email me [email protected] for the Forum Discount.LOL...but the rescue jacket looks vastly superior.

Also, on second thought, I may purchase a jacket for the slow flying over the wrecks. That would provide me a greater safety margin when mapping. One of the cool things about this hobby is how versatile the RCs are and how quickly they can be adapted. Thanks.
