On the bright side, you should know that a lightning strike won’t actually fry your drone’s battery; this is because the battery is surrounded by a metal casing that acts like a Faraday cage. On the not-so-bright side, it will fry your drone’s motor and quite possibly blow your propellers clean off.

Hi, thanks for reaching  DJI Forum. That is really dangerous, have a safe flight always.

Awesome video

Wow what a great shot

Would love to see it in slow motion. Cool video.

Never thoufht of that! I could edit out the non lightning parts and just have a slow kotion compilation of lightning!

Tag me if you do that, would love to see what it looks like.

Risky as storms never stay put but a brilliant capture all the same.

It was on a pretty steady course North and I was not really high! Very cautious!

Fair enough. Good vid too!

Thanks! I am super cautious, can't afford to destroy it!

Same here! Happy flying   

Amazing and epic!
