Threw this up the other day. Usually I get crisp pics after breaking through the fog but this time I collected moisture on the lens.
Well I reckon it was interesting

Hello there sky wombat. Good day and thank you for posting this beautiful video you have filmed. Just a reminder that flying in heavy fog or clouds may make the gimbal wet, leading to temporarily failure. The gimbal will recover it's full function once it is dry. For reference I will post some Flight Environment Requirements. Again great work and fly safe always.

Hey Cetacean looks like we grab some airspace whenever we can. In winter it's maybe in summer while in summer it's maybe in winter. Strange how weather is too hot, too cold, too windy, too many relatives, too many tasks to do, too many batteries to charge etc Oh then it's too hard to do an editing job. Hey this hobby is starting to feel like a real job

Aloha wombat,

     True, very true.  Today, I had a flight after I got my vaccine (first) but we are having winds from the southwest.  But even though the winds were 8 or 9 mph, the steep Pali (cliffs) create a void after the wind passes over the top.  That void can create sidewinds of 20-30 mph that reverse direction after five minutes or so.  Very wicked effect!

     I could not keep my DJI Mini 2 on track.  It was real strange - but finally it was not raining at least!  We had some flooding up here to but nothing like you guys been getting!

     I hope you get a chance to dry out!  Take care and be safe!

Aloha and Drone On!
