Hey I appreciate the post! My mini is still strong and completed a round of aerials for a local bar and grill. Literally, has not affected it.

Well two months have gone by… no camera errors or any failures. I am going to open her up and check things out. I’ll take a picture. Recap on salt water crash. MAVIC MINI crashed next to a shrimp boat and sat in 18-22ppt salinity and mud overnight with blue crabs. Diver found it 15 hrs later...
