Well I've given it a proper test in the garden now with the app.
Seems that the resin has interfered a bit with signal, as it's a bit more temperamental getting a live preview going and stable.
Not 100% sure if this is down to the resin or me messing about with the camera though, as it seems to have most issue when I've got the camera already recording before connecting wirelessly to it. If I turn the camera off and on so it's in standby, it seems to connect a lot more easily.
I'm also going to try and cut the excess resin away, leaving enough for waterproofing/protection, but taking enough away to save space and hopefully improve signal a bit.
Tested the camera and repeater in the kitchen sink. Seems for a live feed I can get away just about 5-8cm from the camera. So basically when I take the ROV out I'll need to try and fix the repeater onto the back of the camera or as close as possible.

The last things to do now are:
Tidy the cables up (I had to cut some cable ties to make it easier to waterproof bits.
Trim Resin
I might need to tweak one of the prop shafts, as it seems to be a tad wonky, resulting in a bit of vibration.
I'll be giving the battery a good charge tomorrow and then phoning the Marina on Monday if the weather is any good to see if I can pop down.
