YAMAHA RDS 300 UNBOX & TEST

I love trying to get smooth cinematic shots underwater but holding the camera and finning for long distances makes it difficult! So i've been fascinated by these Seascooters for a while and have been lucky enough to be able to get one. How does it go? How is it to unbox and put together and maintain? I secured my usual DIY advisor, Secret Agent to assist me as i'm not the best with mechanical things and lack the patience to set them up properly! So amongst looking after his kids, cooking dinner and generally being very busy he kindly helped me out for this video! We unbox, pull apart and put back together the Yamaha RDS 300 Seascooter! Then i take it for a short run

The red screw on piece goes on your pump it then screws into your inner nosecone you then pump air in and it pops open your rubber band is to stop your nosecone hitting you in the face when you pump air in it should not be in place when it is reassembled.

Fill with water

Really?

[@sk7262]

what is the hell is point of it? noisy, slow and you can't use your hands to grab a catch. flippers any day

[@underwater_and_randoms]

It's not for everyone but it does get you from A to B a bit faster. I use it mostly to get out to deeper a bit quicker, it gives you about 3x range compared to fins only. But I mostly like the smooth tracking shots it can provide for video, bit like an underwater drone. I just get to where I want to go and just park it and fin around then come back and get it again

Go to about 25 seconds into this video below to see what I mean about tracking shots for video

Looks very cheaply built. Shame Yamaha

[@underwater_and_randoms]

i have a feeling it is a replica or licensed version of a Seadoo model just with yamaha logos on it, i'm not sure. i have had it for a year and it has performed quite well i think
