Drones are incredibly powerful tools, but many are unfortunately quite susceptible to the elements; whether wind, rain, snow, or sleet, many drones must stay inside if there are clouds in the sky. For many water enthusiasts, fans of fishing, surfing, or lake activities, this can be somewhat limiting.

In recent years, more and more drone companies have pushed drone tech towards weather resistance, and while some top-end drones such as the DJI Spark or DJI Matrice may be water resistant, that is not quite the same as being fully waterproof.

Several drone companies saw the demand for waterproof drones and began producing completely waterproof drones. These quadcopters and hexacopters were created to survive the rains, the seas, and to go places where once it would have been too risky for a drone to fly, making them the perfect additions to any hobbyist or professional drone fleet.
