So I flew around the mountains taking pictures of the snow and my FPV camera has a little moisture inside the camera lens causing the image to be blurry. Anyone experience this and if so has anyone been able to open it to clean, dry, and replace a seal perhaps?

Was it due to condensation? Did it clear up after your flight when you brought the I2 back inside?

It has cleared/dried up but it still needs to be cleaned because there is residue

It is a fixed lens, so getting in there may be difficult to do. Do you notice any cracks around the FPV camera?

No there is no cracks at all. I looked with a magnifying glass to closely inspect it but it all looks good. It looks like it snaps together so if I'm right, there may be a seal like an o ring that maybe possibly pinched?

Could you possible provide a picture of the state of the FPV camera at the moment?

The camera is clear since it has been indoors now

There are two small screws on the back of the FPV camera that may be able to allow for you to get behind the lens to clean it. The one thing that would want to be aware of is if there are any physical issues as a result of inproperly removing and reinstalling the plate or the cleaning, it could potentially void the warranty.

Ok, well with that being said, I will contact Patrick at Aerial Media Pros, which is where I bought it and ask him if they will take a look at it. Thank you for all your assistance! Is there an "o-ring" in there that seals the camera?

I don't know for sure, I can double check for you. I understand that a lack thereof could have contributed to the condensation.
