Today I flew in Latisana, Italy. The conditions were bad, I couldn't fly far away due to the low visibility and bad signal, but it is impressive that the drone still flew almost perfectly in such weather!
Here's a 360 panorama from the flight!

Nice one Y. Love these 360s and know of Kuula. do you pay for your sub or have you gone for the free one? Couldn’t justify a sub.
 
Are you not worried humidity builds in the drone ?
Not really, I live in Mallorca where the humidity is like that all the time, so my drone already started to rust, it's unavoidable where I live.

I'm curious to know more since when I fly in the alps I get fog as well. Would you say it's repetead exposure to humidity that makes the drone rust ? Do you dry it ? Since how long have you been exposing the drone to this humidity ?

Yes, it does. Not only the drone but any electronics. I had many things break just because of the PCB starting to oxidize.

Do you dry it ?
I do not dry it, however I have some silica gel packets in my fly more combo bag where I store the drone.

Since how long have you been exposing the drone to this humidity ?
Since I have it. My first mavic air 2 I had it from August 2021 to February 2022 and it already rusted pretty hard, the screws were completely brown, and I also saw some rust on the motors. Then I crashed that drone, and DJI sent me a new one, this one I still fly it regularly, had it since February, and it is in more or less the same state as the other one when I crashed it.

Here are some pictures:

My first Mavic Air 2 I flew it in rain and snow and fog without wetsuit, it held up well!
I do not recommend doing this, however!
