Boat owners looking for a novel way to film their pride and joy will have a new option in 2015, as QuadH2o plans to launch a new waterproof drone camera. Chris Jefferies from Motorboat & Yachting writes about this.

"The HexH2o will have six rotor blades for added redundancy, but more importantly, boat owners will be able to film under water.

The sealed unit can hold a GoPro action camera, which can film from the air for up to 25 minutes, as well as landing on calm water to film what lies beneath. Despite being completely sealed and waterproof, this drone shouldn?t overheat, due to a combination of an internal fan and an external heat sink."

Jefferies writes that the American firm behind the HexH2o waterproof drone plans to offer DIY kits starting at $983, including shipping.

Those who don?t want the hassle of assembling it themselves and don?t already have their own GoPro, can buy the ready-to-fly kit for a little under $4,000.

Although it is very pricy for a drone, once having watched the footage uploaded by Jefferies, it will have you reconsidering and perhaps wanting this piece of technology, regardless of the price. Click on the link provided to watch the footage and read the original article.
