Mavic air 2 crash in seA

[Thomas B]

I noticed that the recovered drone had skins and wonder if somehow, the skins increased its chances of survival ?

No. Water enters through cooling ports.

??..what about the sensors? Wasn’t it supposed to work?

I think that because you were flying over water, maybe it reflected the image, and got confused... I personally don't fly either of my drones less that 1 meter over water, even if I am using one that has sensors.
And I always spend about 2 months getting used to the drone sticks, and behaviors.

I am very sorry for your loss.

Has anyone tried this option as a buoyancy aid for the Mavic Air 1? Grateful for any comments or advice. I'm flying over a lake/reservoir and just need something to help ease my concern! Accept the drone might get wet if I 'lose' it but at least I could get it back if it's still floating.
