Well, this has turned out to be a none starter, 1st off, the larger 30L bag was just not accessible.
So i got a 10L bag that fits the DJI bag but on its side so not happy with that from the get-go because I have to pull it all the way out of the dry sack, then put the bag back in, flying about, then doing the reverse.
Thats one issue, the other issue is that i still couldn't get the dry sack out from behind me, even though it was much smaller, i managed it on dry land during testing, but on the water, i couldn't get far enough forward.
Thats 2 issues, the 3rd issue, I attached the dry sack to a line I have going from the bow to just in front of the cockpit, that worked well, BUT, it does get wet, so I didn't even bother as i didn't want to unfold the sack and get water inside.
4th and final issue, if it came to it that I managed to get the drone out, flying it would be just too nerve-racking, the concentration needed on the water, the possible drips from the paddle onto the spray deck where the DJI RC would have to sit so that I can see what's going on up there etc, etc,
So, flying a drone from a sit-in kayak with a small cockpit is a none starter. Certainly not whilst on the water, and certainly not without taking some big risks. Just not worth the risk, i can take it with me and if we found somewhere to stop, fly it then, but thats all. |
