The Matrice 200 series and Agras are designed to be water resistant - meaning it's effectively splash proof so good to brush of landing it quickly in the middle of an unexpected rain shower without any concerns. If it were waterproof you could land it in the sea, which you can't of course. If you're Mavic is caught in a rain storm you will probably lose it! If that happens its best to fly back as fast as possible to your position, land it immediately and head home then leave it over night to dry out at room temperature on a table. If you land it in the sea and manage to retrieve it you need to send it back to DJI as salt water will corrode the drone over time, even if it appears fixed once dried out.
I remember seeing a YouTube a while ago where some guy landed his Mavic in the ocean, dried it out good, took it apart and cleaned it with an electronics solvent. Not recommended unless you're experience in such things. |
