Thanks all; yep, sadly the old Mini 3 Pro is a melted souvenir. It's entire underside was badly melted with the battery fused into the main body. I was able to retrieve the micro SD card but it's unable to focus at all.
I'm thinking I completely underestimated distances from the lava as last year's crater was huge, whilst this year's is still very small, but of course I flew down to fill the screen with the crater, meaning I was way lower and closer to the lava than I was last year.
Live and learn; I bought a new one from DJI Reykjavik and it's working beautifully.
Sorry to hear of the melt-down. I commented about safety while I watched it flying thru the haze. I was surprised the craft didn’t melt from the sulphur dioxide and other very acidic gases being emitted, to say nothing of the extreme heat. Be careful. |
