Hi -
I am new here and just crashed my phantom 3 standard into a creek after hitting some telephone wires. If you want to see my stupid crash it's here (only cell phone downlink video available since I didn't have the presence of mind to stop the recording to save on drone camera) -
When it crashed, only one arm was partially submerged since the creek was fairly shallow and partially frozen. The camera and gimbal had some moisture from melting snow. I have so far disassembled the clam shell, blew it out with compressed air and put it in a container with a desiccant that is typically used for an entire basement (see attached picture).
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this kind of thing? How long should I leave it in with the desiccant before trying it out? Anything else I should do?
Thanks!
