Folding Waterproof Quad from Hardware Store parts


Here is a test video from a new folding, packable waterproof quad made from alum and off the shelf hardware store components. The speed controllers are cooled by mounting on an alum plate that forms the base structural component of the design. The camera mount clips on and can be changed, or rotated to another angle in seconds.

  • That should give some peace of mind when flying over water.

    You should put some CorrosionX on the motors to keep them from rusting.

    Cheers,
