This is how it looks from the FPV pilot's view diving underwater with a mobile device. I left the buoy on the shore for this test until I work up the courage to let it float out in the water.

This ROV is pretty amazing! I was using the freshwater ballast module here for the first test to see how it would react since I wanted it to float up more if anything went wrong. The Saltwater module will probably make it more stable and have a less "bobbing" effect. The water was a little more rough than I wanted but it managed well. Manual mode is the way to go for smooth control and footage.
Compass and 3D graphic really came in handy when I got out far, by just looking at the green sub graphic, I was able to tell if I was coming back in my general direction or not. Then it was easy to spot line of site after surfacing and putting it in "Stabilize" mode so I could see all the water thrashing making it easily visible.

The next video will be the full thorough dive test review with commentary, line of site and underwater onboard HD video. Subscribe and don't miss the videos to come.
