Camera after water

[Tjwilson1985]

New mavic pro owner and fairly new other than small drones, but started the first flight, everything was good, then I came in for a landing and it lost connection took off and went straight into a tree, the propellers broke and it fell into a puddle. I let it dry, but now when started, no camera picture and the camera goes all nuts! Any suggestions?

Water damage sucks. You can not know what part of the drone’s electronics are damaged, because water can get everywhere. Maybe you should contact DJI costumer service. Do you have DJI care refresh? That will save up a lot of money.

It's possible the cable to the gimbal is damaged which is fiddly but possible to do yourself at modest cost.

I do have the care refresh, but I rinsed the camera and that area with distilled water and dried what I could on the outside and figured I'd check it in 2 to 3 days and see if that helps before I contract dji

It's in white rice for 2-3 days
