On Youtube I saw pilots flying drones in snow and rain. Can my mavic air 2 fly in bad weather and for how long? If not, are there any accessories on sale that can cover the motors on the drone's beams?
The fact is that there is now a waterfall not far from my house, usually it is dry. But the last few days, the water has been gushing. I really want to photograph this beauty on a drone. But now it has been drizzling for a week, stops for a couple of minutes and drizzles again.

It is not adviced, but I have flown my Mavic Pro in a bit of rain without problems.
100% at your own risk of course.
I did encounter a problem, that was drops on the lens.
So even if you can make a successful flight, the footage might end up being not optimal.

Hi there. Thank you for reaching out. We do not recommend flying the unit in snow and during rain as this might cause some issues on the unit. You may check the image below for the recommended temperature for the DJI Mavic Air 2. Thank you for your understanding and support.

But I will not risk it anymore))

Thank you) in winter we do not have such low temperatures, but in the summer the drone wrote that it absorbs the heat load.

Not exactly what I wanted to shoot, but I did it)

Only when the rewards is big!

Electronics and water are a certain failure, because, for example, corrosion of the paths connecting electronic components.

Theres a couple of companies that sell drone wet suits for this purpose.  Although you wont find many here to recommend it.

You are most welcome and thank you for your kind and understanding. Have a good one!

I did it one time with a big rain. The problem is the rain come on your lens and your footages is absolutely not usable …

The main thing is that it is not under the objective lens. But I am more worried about the fact that the water gets into the motors, because when you remove the blades, they are clearly visible.)

What kind of companies? Will they give a guarantee that my drone will not fall by a stone, I am used to buying only licensed accessories for my drone.

Water will probably not be able to get inside the motors because gap is really small and they spin so fast that all drops will be blown out by the centrifugal force. I am more worried about battery that is exposed on the top and the gaps around it and other gaps on the body.

Tooting..By the way, speaking about the battery, I often hear that Maviks have this weak side, in the sense that it can snap off in flight, so is there any accessory for the battery, or maybe the clamps will help to hold it. I noticed that one of my batteries seemed to be swollen.

I wath on one blogger to check if the battery was swollen or not. It is necessary to spin the battery on a flat surface and it should not spin, so one of the batteries seems to be swollen. Even if you look at it from a certain angle, you can see a bulge. This battery appears to be dangerous to use...

If you put a little automotive polish on your lens it will repel water and even condensation from hot-cold changes. Look for a product that -repels- water not one that beads up.

There are over 300 videos posted of flying in the pouring rain.       This one shows how to capture the storm

We fly the Props under water, as they are aluminum brush less and designed to Negotiate water so well that these are the same type props used by submersibles.  This is why we never worry about the motors.  the Battery and the Power Button and the Sensors are the weak link and that is what the Wet Suits focus on directly with Air Tight Seals.

I still think I'll buy myself a suit for a drone)

Is cosmetic nice as well and helps with the little bumps. Does not hurt to have it.
