Waterproof Drone! | Power Egg X
February 02, 2023 by Sailing Fair Isle | Language: EN Play Time: 00:17:59 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
FINALLY a good drone that you that isn’t going to end up on the bottom of the ocean!
For us guys flying drones from boats the whole business of getting aerial footage can become an expensive and nerve wracking nightmare… well not anymore!
I’ve lost four DJI drones to the bottom of the ocean so far, one because a super yacht had a jammer to stop paparazzi snooping on VIP’s ( I wasn’t! I was filming the classic yacht racing off Monty Carlo) One had a battery fault and performed a perfect auto landing 100 yards behind the boat and sank as we sailed away! One inexplicably lost control and ditched and one was a bad take off from me while sailing single handed, I clipped the solar arch.
All of these resulted in the loss of a drone and all would have been absolutely fine if I had been flying a Power Egg X. I would simply have gone back and picked up the floating drone.
I’ve had a waterproof drone before, the Swellpro Splash drone, but this was an expensive failure. So I’m very happy to report the Power Eggs is the first usable waterproof drone I’ve flown and I’m looking forward to an enjoyable seasons flying from the boat instead of dreading losing another expensive piece of machinery every time I want a shot of us sailing from the air.
If you are interested in buying one of these drones have a look at the store link here:

P.S. and regular viewers will know I’ve stopped flying DJI drones as they are getting so flaky the last one I bought was incapable of taking a firmware update because of DJI’s broken software and has never even been able to take off since I bought in at xmas. So I’m doubly glad to find this one.

Sailing Fair Isle
We have sold our house in the UK and moved aboard our boat. She is a classic cutter rigged 48 foot Hans Christian; a very strong blue water boat more than capable of sailing around the world. Just hope we are! We are professional documentary filmmakers working for the BBC and many other TV stations around the world. Broadcasters aren't interested in commissioning sailing programs these days so we are launching our channel online. Sailing Fair Isle is aiming to be more than just a vlog showing our travels. It will be a travel log, but also a documentary style show with proper content and broadcast technical standards. That's the plan anyway. Lets see how it goes.

Epic Sail in the clearest water with the largest fish yet! | Ep141
It's the last of the Cuba series, but it all happens in this episode. We sail the whole Northern coast of Cuba, hide from a storm, dock in over 30 knots of wind (without the bow thruster), run out of food and then see the other side of Cuba (it's a shock!)...

BROKEN! You’re on your own in Cuba | Ep139

The worst place to run aground | Ep138
The Cuban coastguard doesn't have a boat. One sailor we spoke to here was told that if he wanted his boat pulled off the rocks they would have to hire a boat from Jamaica. So, this is not the place to find yourself hard aground! Added to that, we can 't ...
