I like attitude SARDG! Attitude gets the job done when nothing else will. You go CGG!

Yep, everything in the camera bag (including the DSLR) made it unscathed! The camera bag itself was completely covered in powdered calcium carbonate, but nothing actually got IN the bag. I thought the bag was trashed but it dusted off well and I was able to clean it the rest of the way with...

Yea, I carried our Nikon DSLR (with 18-300mm lens mounted) & GoPro spelunking this summer. Complete, in the Nikon bag with flash & extra lenses(!). What a PITA that was! Still, we never know what we'll find until we find it and it was a great trip! Cheers!

That's really good news Dave! Pretty much the best case scenario (especially with the dihydrogen monoxide dunking). I believe the steps you took immediately after extracting the drone from the water helped to mitigate any additional issues, so great thinking dude! I also believe you are very...

Hey that's GREAT news Dave! Hopefully the rest is good-to-go also.

Dave, I would NOT swap good parts looking for bad ones. You will most likely fry the good parts. When troubleshooting electronics (or most things) it helps to divide major systems up and test them individually (without power initially). This requires a good working knowledge of how all the...

SARDG, What the heck kind of measurement is a 'blink'? ...oh, never mind. :)

LOL! Thanks Ed, that was cool. Finally, a 'practical' reason for drones!

Wave that (solo) flag Burkeam!

Good to hear Matt1! Now are you ready for the "strap your solo to a v2 rocket mod'? 1st, get yourself a used V2 rocket (Ebay) and some duck tape, then you wanna ... :)

Yea, I know what you mean. I have four but wish I had eight! Lol
