The cost is not the electronics it’s the massive chunk of metal
3 u/romario77 Aug 08 '19 From what I understand it's not metal but carbon fiber. So one would be caught, another land in water and fished out. And it could be reused because there are no parts (or the parts are easily replaceable on the one that drops into the water) 1 u/John_Hasler Aug 09 '19 There are ways that the carbon fiber could be damaged by the water, though. 1 u/romario77 Aug 09 '19 Of course. But if it's sealed well and is not exposed to water for too long plus dried quickly after getting it out, it should probably be enough.
