Thanks @HunterBooks. We've explored various heights of the camera above water and the current height actually works really well. In hundreds of normal takeoffs and landings we've never gotten any spray or droplets on the camera. Only in aggressive testing with pretty fast forward motion at touchdown have we managed to get any water anywhere. Even in this case, it was just a few droplets and dried off easily.
There is a trade-off with ground/water stability, height, weight, battery life, and in-flight stability and we think we've engineered a really good spot among those trade-offs. That said, I've made a note that some may wish to have a higher camera position on water. |
