Im so stoked for my waterproof build. Darwinfpv makes a waterproof stack, camera, vtx, and receiver. And my worry free will be in the mailbox tomorrow. Just to go over all the solder joints to make its 100% waterproof
Luv this stuff! I live in Montana. I use this on my snow quads! I fly all winter! No problem! Good stuff! Thanks!
Awesome😎 thank you🤘 release a couple new products in 2023!
Right on dude, excited to try it out 🙌🏽
Thx,super!
AWESOME...
got some, cant wait to throw some on man
Thank you🤘
Can you apply worryfree directly to the rx or is that why you recommend the mg conformal coat? Great video, gonna be throwing some worryfree on my first quad this week
You can but I didn’t want to risk destroying that button. Actually It’s flexible lol immure it would be just fine right over it. But I haven’t had any issues just sealing the edges
Hi Brandan. Thanks for the vid. I bought some of your worry-free and am about to coat my electronics. One thing that confused me was plugging in the air unit cable. Didn't seem like you needed to plug it in based on how you applied the worry free. I have several plugs in my FC. I am curious if I should coat the worry free over the plug such that I wouldn't be able to unplug it until I remove the worry free. Do you have any suggestions?
For the best results It’s best to coat everything but It’s not completely required. Theres so little current going through those pins and they are separated decently enough to prevent issue. However they may corrode over time and loose contacts and the connections will stop working until you clean them.
nice mate , lets see if i get my quad waterproof :P one question. what about the dji cam or caddax vista part. they not water proof, how do u proof them ?
I have a video showing dunking a raw vista in water. They are basically waterproof but I coat around the camera and lens and then the soldered wire connections. Look at my protek 35 video
I put this on my Skystar f722 am32 60a stack, first attempt at waterproofing a kwad and im having a major problem, i doesn't fly well and if i go over 3/4 throttle it starts yaw kicking really bad, is this a know issue, did i put it on too thick? I kinda just smeared it on with the tip of the tube and worked it in the knooks and krannies so it has a good coat cuz this is going to be my night and bad weather drone, is this a known issue? Any info would be much appreciated! Thanks
i like the stick. proceeds to use his finger lol
Please do a video waterproofing the DJI 03 AU, please 😢
I have been wanting to do this to my quad so bad since it's snowing and I really was wondering how well the process works I have seen guys submerge their quads in the bath tub lol but I just want to be "worry free" literally lol of snow and maybe just maybe be able to fly during a lite rain 😁👍✌ does it peel off if needed without leaving behind any residue that will make soldering impossible? Just in case you have to throw a new motor on😁
I would say your case is much better for mg conformal coat. My stuff is more for extreme cases of actually going under water or constantly flying in rain. Mg you can solder through my stuff you have to peel away then solder. Neither can be removed after applying it though. Like completely removed.
@@brandan_fpv thanks alot man....but I still rather apply your stuff 😁👍 better to be safe than sorry if your stuff can handle underwater then it's definitely what I'd rather have lol I'm placing my order with rdq today😁 and I'm officially a sub man stay safe and keep rippin ✌
@@scu-dub thank you🤘
Amazing stuff! Is the guy in the UK still distributing for you? Love to get a couple tubes.
Mr fibbles over on Instagram I think has some but if not there is a couple stores in Europe that do

Can you seal a beeper and a gps? Isn't necessary to seal the usb port, camera lens where the screw is and things like that? Thanks!
I'm sure it wouldnt be hard to seal a GPS or a beeper but once you seal the beaper it probably won’t be load. The motors themselves are a great beeper. Not necessarily to seal USB port but wouldn't hurt. Yeah around the lens threads would help sealing but again not necessary.
@@brandan_fpv if I seal the beeper but not the speaker itself (its hole) do you think will short? It's a long range quad so beeper is kind of a must.
Same question goes for the usb since the the pins are exposed? Hasn't been a problem for you to have unsealed usb?
And any way to test it safely?
Sorry for the many questions mate!
@@CloodyTube no It’s perfect for people to ask questions👍 I’ll test it on my beeper and see within the week. You can print little covers for your usb port and coat over it if you are worried. Also I would say you might be better off using just mg conformal coat for a long range quad. This is more for a fully waterproof quad you are crashing in water ever day
I've ordered a coupla tubes from your website for a non-drone or RC application. It's for 24Vdc LED beacons in an Oil & Gas Marine environment. These beacons don't have water ingress but the glass dome around the LED array condensates and the moisture is dripping down onto the PCB. I'm thinking a couple of coats of spray MG Chemicals 422C over entire PCB and then use FPV Worry Free on the areas where the condensation is most likely to drip onto the PCBs.
What website did you order from? I dont sell directly so you must have bought from one of my distributors. If I’m going to be completely honest the 422c should be all you need if It’s just condensation and a little but of water. The worry free is really good for completely sealing off the board for full submerging under water.
@@brandan_fpv I purchased from "GetFPV". Thought it was your store...hehehe I told you it was a non-FPV drone application. I don't know anything about FPV (or conformal coating for that matter).
Thanks for the "overkill" tip. Been replacing couple of these $500 strobes every quarter, was surprised the PCBs weren't already conformally coated. Started searching on UA-cam on PCB conformal coating and it wasn't long until your product showed up. From your overkill response, it does sound like I'm on the right track. Thanx!
Hi
Thank you for the worry free i have waterproof 2 quads with that stuff. 10x
Now i have 5 inch with 03 air unit. As far as i know the 03 is not watterproof as the vista and there is a problem with overheating when it is decased
Do you have a solution for waterproofing the 03 air unit without overheating?
10x
I have not done any testing with the o3 unit however, I’ve seen a couple people make it naked to waterproof.
Can't wait to try it.
You have a cold iron ,didn't heat base metal or cooked away all the flux. should be no need to clean up your soldering with snips. Knowing is half the battle.
so what about the vtx? do you decase vista and put this right on boards, and on a analog vtx just same thing just don't cover button. and what about the camera can you do that as well?
I haven’t done an analog vtx but I would recommend doing heat shrink and seal the ends with worry free like in my protek 35 video. For the vista I only covered the soldered leads and so far it works fine in fresh water but I will be coating one entirely and doing more testing over time. Go check out the protek 35 video
How about the barometer hole? Does the altitude works proper after covering the sensor completely?
The barometer will no longer work if you cover it up
@@brandan_fpv Thanks mate, for your reply and you’re doing an awesome work towards this beautiful community.
@@MPKFPV thank you🤘
Just ordered a couple tubes man! Just want to accident or “oh shit” proof my quad for snow/small wetness in grass etc. thanks!
Awesome😎 post it on instagram and I’ll share to my stories🤙
@@brandan_fpv sick man I def will! Will try to post some cool snow flights or something once all good to go:) thanks again! I got my tubes from getfpv and is where I buy most of my gear just bc they are fast and reliable, sweet they sell it there!!
@@crank_FPV took some time to get it in there. It’s also at pyro, rdq, newbeedrone, flyhighfpv, and a couple more usa shops. Lots of international shops too. Thanks for the support🤙
Do you apply also on the xt60 ? just before the connector ?
I dont but it wouldn’t hurt 👍
@@brandan_fpv what about dieletric grease on the xt60? or is corrison x better?
@@EdturdEnfart both should do about the same if I’m not mistaken
I really want to pull the trigger on this product but I need to know how to waterproof the Air Unit. I see the link to the Vista video but what about the Air Unit??????
Air unit will turn off under water but won’t break. I’ve dunked mine about 30 times with no issues just have to let it dry out in the sun.
Hi. any update on the salt water test?
Actually rcadam did a test that he posted on Instagram of an esc on under water and it worked
Morning Brandan I received a few worry free fpv all of them are transparent and one is yellowish is it normal ? Thanks
Does it have an expiration date on it? If not it is expired. The earlier packaging didn’t have expiration dates printed on them. The new packaging does letting you know if It’s still good.
Do you need to coat the motor as well ? Please answer
You do not need to coat the motor. The motor windings are already waterproof as is. However, the bearings lubrication will dry out after using in water multiple times.
How about a Barometer? I suppose it will stop working after the application of the coat.
Yes
bit how well does it protect in a water crash?
Watch my protek 35 video link in description
I have an older Armattan badger HD. It has the 30amp chip along all 4 motors and it’s shrink wrapped. Should I just seal in the edges of the heat shrink would that be good enough?
So it has individual escs? It would be a good short term solution but id recommend taking off the heat shrink unsoldering the motors put new heat shrink on but dont shrink it. Then apply worry free and shrink it while It’s still wet
@@brandan_fpv yeah I commented before watching the video which was foolish on my end since you literally started with the individual ESCs haha. I took the shrink wrap off and coated them all last night. Waiting for them to dry 🤙🏻🤙🏻 also, what should I do with the DJI unit? Is that waterproofed already or do I have to disassemble it? I saw the video of you dunking the vista in water and it appearing to be waterproof. What’s the actual deal with the DJI and Caddx units and waterproofing? Because my ProTek35 will be coated next and that has the Vista in it.
@@soothsayerfpv6835 they are both basically waterproof at least from my testing in fresh water. But id always recommend rinsing it off and letting it dry in the sun. Also like in the video I cover the ports and buttons with tape to prevent debris from building up
@@brandan_fpv “Good day! Thank you for your patience on it.
After confirming with our senior engineers, I got the reply that the Air Unit is not waterproof, please kindly avoid flying in rainy.” This was the response I got from DJI support so it turns out they are not waterproof apparently lol
@@soothsayerfpv6835 they say that to cover their ass on liability but from my testing they are very very water resistant🥴 I’ve flown my quad under water about 20 times with the same air unit no issues. Once it was under water for 24hours and it still worked.
What about a 4 in 1 esc.. apply worry free in the gaps of the heat sink.. or I don't ever use individual esc.would you apply it the same .
Best thing for a heat sink is probably to seal it off but leave as much on top exposed to release the heat
If the top is exposed to release the heat.. worry free won't work like it's supposed to.
@@jessefpv4949 you said there is a heat sink right? If you seal around the heat sink it should be fine. If you do not want to seal around the heat sink you can take a heat gun to it and take off the heat sink clean the surface and apply over the whole board, but it may overheat. No instances have been reported of overheating but It’s still a concern.
@@brandan_fpv ok tha k you brandon if I have any more?s I'll be sure to ask I'm actually konda worried about it overheating and nervous to even try 😅 wish me luck
@@jessefpv4949 shoot me a dm on Instagram I reply faster over there👍
I just coated my electronics last night and let it sit overnight. I did put a pretty heavy coat on but it's still pretty tacky/stringy similar to hot glue before it's cured. does it fully harden when it's cured?
Where did you order from and how long ago? It might be expired. I’m going to start putting expiration dates on them soon to help with this.
@@brandan_fpv I don't remember exactly when I ordered it but it was definitely a while ago, probably 8-9 months if I had to guess also forgot where I ordered it from... if it is in fact expired what would you suggest, just remove it all?
@@skydogfpv got your message on instagram. But for anyone else reading this it might take a couple days to cure if It’s expired but if it doesn’t you can remove it with wd40 contact cleaner or fpv worry free remover which will be released in 2023
what is the ESCs you are using on this drone?
I believe It’s a spedix ls 40a individual esc.
Does it conduct heat? If it gets into the usb connector it makes it unusable, no?
So far no reports have been made about overheating, but I Don’t believe it conducts heat well. You can fill the usb port, however It’s not super easy to remove. Wd 40 contact cleaner works well if you need to remove it though. The kits now come with silicon caps for the ports, so you can seal around that, instead of filling up the whole port.
when u dip the air unit in water are you meant to wait until it dries to use again? because ive dipped mine in then plugged back in after 5min when still wet and now it won't transmit signal or connect to fav assistant on computer
Sometimes. Seems like every air unit is different. Some can handle more water than others. Most of the time though yes, wait like an hour with it in the sun and it will be good to go again. The vistas seem to be better with water.
@@brandan_fpv thank you, sounds like I’ve got a bad air unit 😞. Loving the product. Stoked to take this out onto the water 👌
@@EditsbyMinh I haven’t had an air unit go bad after being dunked. (I’ve never tested saltwater) so just give it some time.
I’m having a tough time with this. I found this much thicker and goopier than the MG chemical one and it really gums like quickly when i use the wooden tools unless i pour A LOT of silicone. Now i want to remove it all and it’s really difficult. What product can i use to dissolve it away?
I’m sorry to hear about that. Were you trying to put just a tiny but on? I apply a very thick layer. So far I haven’t found anything to dissolve it. Maybe acetone would work but I’m not sure I dont have any.
Do not use acetone, It eats away at circuit boards and components on the board (anything not ceramic or metal) Just scrape away what you can then clean with at ISO or buy a new board
@@crysix944 thank you! I never tested it so I didn't know. I tried iso on a blob of it but it didn't do anything.
@@brandan_fpv yeah i wanted just a thin layer, im worried about overheating the electronics with a thick coating
@@EliProductions use mg silicon conformal coat then. Mine is really thick
Hey brother, is your worry free gonna come back? I need to finish up underneath a stack but its sold out everywhere
Yes! Just got all my materials in to make new kits. All stores will be restocking in a week or two.
how would I waterproof dji 03 air unit?
Not sure yet. Going to dunk one soon.
What do I do about the open ports in the fc?
If theres a positive lead I would coat over it.
Hi @Brandan FPV. may i know what to do with the lipo?
I dont do anything but I use the same lipo each time. I’ve heard it damages it but so far the battery seems to be just about the same as my other ones. If you want to protect it though you can take corrosion x and spray it on the balance lead xt60 and any exposed metal
@@brandan_fpv mine dove but got destroyed 😅
@@djeusebio7927 what lipo did you use? And what water did it crash in?
@@brandan_fpv crashed in a lake. 5 cells are dead
@@brandan_fpv used r line v4 6s
How do you waterproof the motors? Don't they short?
Motors dont need coating they are waterproof, but water will make your bearings dry out and get rough over time. You csn swap them out pretty easily or re loob them up
Corrosion X for motors. Makes them smmmmoooooth!
@@EvaTheDivarobloxplays are you being serious?
@@EdturdEnfart yes, I flip my quad upside down, and just put a drop of it on each motor shaft and spin by hand for a sec. Smooths out everything. Just wipe all the access when you spin them up.
Can you just burn it off with a soldering iron if you need to make repairs? :)))
You have to perl it off solder then re apply
can you coat a gopro naked? how about the dji o3?
There are people who have but I have not.
Any report of overheating?
@@cazafpv8312It’s always been a concern but so far not that I know of.
where can i buy them
Where are you located? There are a couple links in the description
Bought this from supplier in india. it seems alot watery and not thick
When I tried to apply it it would drop down from the other side. Did I buy an imitation of the coating or it is how it is?
Getting the waterproofing into india has been everything but trouble. Customs taking things, taxes, low shipping you name it and it went wrong. The coating I sent there too also seems to be very strange. It takes much much longer to cure and I’m not sure why. Send me a dm on Instagram and I’ll see if we can get you a refund. @brandan_fpv
@@brandan_fpv the folks here have used it and they haven't found any faults other than the long curing time. I'm gonna give you an update once it's fully done. Given the consistency I might have to do a double coat to fully cover the components
@@gautamborkar9484 yeah I’m not sure why It’s taking so long either. Maybe there was an imperfection in the mix.
@o please reach out to rotorlabsfpv the company you got it from.
@o I believe some of the people in india had it cute but it took multiple days. It was one of the early batches and I’m not sure why it went runny. I’ve been doing tests and haven’t had any of the batches after that go runny. Time will tell I guess. The product is now about 1 year old.
It cures with water so maybe mist it? I haven’t tried that though.
Might want to add how viscous is the actual fluid.
Aren’t you able to see it in the video? Ill mention it in the next video. I just purchase a house with a spare bedroom for my to be studio, so I’m very excited to prepare to make a much higher quality updated video. Is there anything else you’d like me to show/mention?
Can you ship to indonesia??

I bought an item on getfpv and they send me a dry worry free, they scammed me, what can I do now? I'm worried about buying from the same supplier again. I record a video with the evidence.
Why mention conformal coat for the rx instead of using ur worry free to cover the rx like u did the fc. Always thought/thinking about conformal / silicon to water proof my builds. But thinking about if u have to get to area's needing repair thst cover in silicone. What u remove the coating with to get threw say if you need to repair a wire on a pad on fc etc. An like xt60,or analog cams wire harness that would be sealed up also right.like I said I really been think to do it for long time. But conformal or silicone or both I don't know.never really found full in depth video or articles that cover all in one.most I find are like this video.good content but so much left out for someone who never used conformal or silicone should both be used etc. An like all the little connections /headers, cam casing should they be opened an add some silicone to seal an Things like thst keep me from doing it cause it's never full covered in one article or video. I know this one was a promo short video but really not much help beside having more questions lol.hope u understand whst im meaning.
It’s near impossible to cover every single detail about everything. Most people are looking for the basics and move on. I am in the process of making multiple new products and I will be making a full series of videos on each one for each application. You can remove the waterproofing with wd 40 contact cleaner however I’m in the process of releasing a product to remove it as well. I dont have any analog equipment anymore so I won’t be making any video regarding analog systems. Theres a few good videos out there but I totally understand where you are coming from.
@Brandan FPV I completely understand with the time frame when making content.when I mention videos it was necessary meaning everything has to be shown just mentioning things u cant show like u said about not having analog gear no more.i have analog an digital builds mostly fly analog. I can still get a idea from your series your mentioning like how ever you show.having a build with 4 in 1 esc video would help to to show the hearder plug from fc to esc etc. You going to rampage I csnt wait.
@@neon7fpv799 I did make a video with an aio. It was shortly after this one. Go take a look at my page and go look at the fpv worry free playlist. I won’t be going to rampage. I go next door to castle crash instead😎 much cheaper and way more relaxed.
Thanks, ordered some ill watch the Playlist an figure it out can't be to hard have great day
Where is the difference to conformal coating?
This is much thicker and protects your quad a lot more
@@brandan_fpv Am I able to fly under water with conformal coating?
@@Frozone. no the escs will lock up and shut down
Hi, You forgot to waterproof the motors !!
No need! Bearings just need to be re lubricated.
@@brandan_fpv what sort of lubrication works ? Will WD-40 Silicone work well
The only downside is i only bought 2 lmmfao
1 should be able to cover 2-4 quads depending on what you run
Hey Bro Happy FPV gave me some worry free would you send me a sticker or 2 thanks bro
I’ve got new stickers being made. It got to be a lot of work making all of them myself so I ordered like 10k. I’ve got a new design for fpv worry free too🙂 next year I’ll be releasing 3 new products and everything will have upgraded packaging.
@@brandan_fpv Wow THats Great Bro I would love to try them out im wanting to do some reviews on items and im really just getting started to grow my channel!
