Have you ever seen an FPV drone fly into the water and reemerge to continue filming? If so, please let us know in the comments. Otherwise check out the video, above, by FPV pilot Blastr, and watch as a Deep6 drone heads toward a raging waterfall and plunges into the brink.
A Dex HydroH drone was used to film scenes beneath the water’s surface. The viewer then experiences what it would feel like to float backwards over a surface of algae-covered tree branches and rocks before moving forward to the base of the waterfall. Then, without missing a beat, the viewer is transported back to the surface where the drone performs a variety of acrobatic moves down, up, and through the waterfall.
Blastr, whose work can also be found on Instagram, warns aspiring FPV daredevils that the maneuvers seen in this video aren’t easy to pull off. Both drones used to film this clip are custom quads and as he puts it on his YouTube page, they ‘are difficult to build and took lots of trial and error to get right, so good luck and fly safe!’
For the rest of us, flying a drone into the water means the end of its life, permanently. For those not up to the task of building out a Dex HydroH drone or similar model, Chasing and Powervision sell their own out-of-the-box underwater UAVs that allow you to explore below the surface.

Fujifilm’s X-H2 is a high-resolution stills and video camera, that sits alongside the high-speed X-H2S at the pinnacle of the company’s range of X-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras. We dug into what it does and what it means.

The final lens in Panasonic’s full frame F1.8 prime series has arrived. Is it a good choice for photographers as well as videographers?

The Autel Evo Lite+ features a camera with a relatively large sensor, variable aperture lens, and is capable of capturing 6K/30p video. Is this finally the competition DJI has so badly needed?

Sure, the name is a mouthful but the latest camera from Blackmagic has some impressive features. Find out how Jordan thinks it compares to the latest mirrorless hybrid cameras.

The DJI Avata takes inspiration from the FPV and cinewhoop worlds, so we were excited to take it for a spin and see what it could do. What we discovered is a beginner-friendly, fun-to-fly, stunt-capable model that has the potential to shoot eye-catching video.
