As impressive as navigating and sailing autonomously is, I’m most impressed by the construction of a camera where the lens isn’t completely sprayed with water while in a storm.

I wonder if it's got a Clear View Screen [1] at an offset in front of it, the round window thing you see in ships. Basically a round pane that they spin really fast, throwing any water off right away. Shameless plug of a youtube channel I enjoy, here's a guy installing one of those in their CNC machine to make better footage [2].

  It’s not a shameless plug if it’s not your own channel. :)

  It doesn't look like it, there is some more footage online of that drone and you can clearly see the spray stick to the glass in front of the camera.

I was also wishing it had some form of gimbal/stabilization, I think it would help visually to put the wave sizes into perspective. Maybe not, I don't know much about video stuff
