Saltwater exposure care.
We do not recommend intentionally exposing your craft to saltwater, but this is
acceptable if you need to if you follow the after-salt exposure steps carefully.
The EX-1 has 3 watertight chambers.
1. Top main electronics bay
2. Lower battery bay
3. Lower camera pod.
After salt exposure, completely rinse the craft with fresh water, preferably before salt
crystallisation occurs. Complete immersion in a swimming pool, bath or shower works well.
Rinse motors with fresh water and then treat with WD40 or Corrosion-X. Treat external
battery terminal with anti-corrosion fluid.
The EX-1 has closed cell flotation installed in the centre section of the drone. This is the 2
level of flotation to protect the drone in the case that any other of the chambers has a
water breach. Make sure that the fresh water flushes this inner core as well. Afterwards,
stand drone vertically and allow it to dry out in warm area.
Salt water will always start corrosion somewhere.
