Started raining while flying

Hey,
i had just gone outside with clear sky and then all of a sudden it got dark and started to rain. It wasnt heavy rain, more of like a sprits, a few droplets were on the outer shell of the drone, just a little nervous considering its new. It should be OK though, right?? I brought it right back down as soon as i felt a droplet. I would say it was only about 15-20 feet in the air

A few drops of rain water is soft and will dry without damaging your bird. You can blow with a hair dryer on low to make sure all moisture is out of the gimbal and motors.

Wow. Same thing JUST happened to me. It came back dripping wet. I brought it in really fast. Removed the battery. My wifey helped my wipe everything down with a micro fiber cloth really well. My tablet was soaked too. The tablet is working fine, but sitting in a bag of rice right now just to be safe. Also, the bird and remote are sitting in my back room with a dehumidifier running near by.

Shot this last night , a storm moved in and I captured 26 minutes with the new Phantom Rain Wetsuits that we are offering.

You can skip to 15 minutes for the torrential downpour

I have been caught many times in flash showers ... even caught out in the high level wet air where it comes down soaked - but no rain !!

Never hurt it ... wipe down .. leave it out on floor to air .... main point is switch off and get the battery out ...
