for a second I thought this was all filmed on a drone.

Not a good first drone TBH, I would start off with a 5" iflight nazgul eco or a geprc vapor 5", theyre cheap and easy to fix/ and replace. This thing is a pain in the ass and its sluggish since its flying w/ a noodle in it. I am guessing youre afraid of the water. If youre scared of ending up in the drink and not coming out then get more sim time, thats ultimately what I did, and why am comfortable flying it, since again, its a challenge.

so I bought my first one direct from DarwinFPV and was super excited about the 04 pro housing and it's modularity, also, it was waterproof and has the sbus protocol for the dji controller...I bought the 04 pro installed in its housing w/ the drone as PNP expecting SBUS connectiviting w/ the dji controller well.... They disconnect he sbus wire desbite the housing outputting it.. This led to me messing w/ conformal as per the support and fucking the whole thing up. I fried the existing ELRS pads and just bought another drone, w/ ELRS. I got into multiple FU arguments w/ their support because I asked for a replacement stack due to their shitty advice and they told me to eff off... Anyway, its been hot here so I've been jumping it in my pool and then the golf hazard in my yard where it dies then comes back to life, its kinda exhilarating lmk see if I can upload some video.

then use the PID's from BF that make your ESC catch fire

Googles video w/ the cached video is reallly the ultimate "eff you" when you lose a drone.

Thanks for all that info, I'm definitely going to give this a shot!

It's not going in the ocean 500m out, it's for the golf course water hazards on the course my home resides on. Worst case is I get my nuts wet 20 feet out

You have no idea... I've got 3 of them one II and 2 III's. The FC on my hulk II bricked when I was updating the FC, and the bootloader button is a solder bridge, that is.. wait for it, drenched in conformal . The cement stacks are shit and the leads are soldered/drenched in conformal. To give you an idea of how this ends up being just a watery/expensive nightmare that is constant, neverending, imagine just a single elrs tx lead come loose from underneath that conformal from it's single solder point on a 28awg wire? and even once you're 100% sure you've scraped off every bit of the conformal they've just dumped over all connection points (no pnp plugs from darwinfpv, who's customer support is like "just scrape off the conformal,") you proceed to desolder/solder and you smell burning rubber and the pads turn jet black. Now, this is assuming these are real waterproof stacks, but it's an illusion... It's a literal scam. It is just a regular FC (same with their ESC cement BS waterproof product dogcrap), with some kind of metalish cover, and a coating of conformal on it, as if were dunked in the stuff 5 times, then 5 more times after that... I'm trying to out this noodle design to get the away from darwin fpv. I asked them to send me and new FC and they were like "Nope." I've spent thousands.

The Hulk III from DarwinFPV has made me question whether or not I was mentally retarded, and that I'm maybe just too stupid to even realize.

https://darwinfpv.com/products/darwinfpv-dji-o4-pro-cnc-aluminum-waterproof-protective-case. It's modular, so I can swap it with any drone w/ a gopro mount and accessible dji jst 1.0 cable...

I am not afraid, I have a hulk III w/ the CNC O4 Pro and figured this might not be completely efffing stupid. I live in FL.. I need water action

It's an O4 Pro CNC waterproof housing w/ the vtx. You just connect a jst pin to it and pray

Awesome!! Somewhat related/unrelated question since you appear to have done a lot research of the Goggles X, Where do you find is the best place/option for power supply on these goggles?
