Hi there, just a warm reminding, no matter Mavic series or Phantom series etc. are not waterproof drones. Please don't fly when it is raining and there has a strong wind for the safety of flight.[view_image]
I support you.
The other day we did flights during a sticky mist at minus 3 degrees Celsius.
The fog looked like rain, though very shallow. He settled on the ground, forming an ice crust.
The result - one of the motors failed. The display showed an overload of the battery and the motor, after which Mavik independently landed where he was impatient. It ended without a crash, but one beam has to be replaced because of a broken motor.
When I picked up Mavik - saw the ice on the propellers and the hull.
Probably this ice on contact with the superheated winding of the motor caused a short circuit between the turns.
And I was very lucky that the Mavik decided to make a landing on a plowed field, and not a river, over which it just flew by ...
In any case, my example should be a warning.
