Dude. That is awesome! What was the damage to the Mavic? I would love to have the b***s to do that as we get some serious storms and thunder here in Kentucky. Well done!

I wasn't brave enough to fly during the storms, but right afterwards was neat with the clouds being so low.

No damage , I hustled back in Sport mode when I felt the first drops and then I started seeing rain drops in the goggles . It was 1000' out and 400' high . It was wet but nothing got inside the battery compartment or inside anywhere . I dried it off with a towel as I sat in the truck waiting for the flood to pass ,lol. I was a little worried that It wasn't going to land in time though . I was also having problems figuring out the focus with the goggles and you can see I finally got it to focus on the way down . I was hoping to get some lightening but that came with the next storm that passed through a couple hours later .
