I am continously impressed with the quality of DJI drones. I have taken my Mavic Air through some pretty knarly weather filming windsurfing in the North See with saltwater spray and sand dust and it keeps performing like when it was new.
Then New Years eve
I took a calculated risk to film the local fireworks, knowing that being hit by ‘friendly fire’ was a risk. That part went well, but in the exitement I did not notice that the drone did not achieve gps signal at take off! My mistake. It went out of range, and not knowing where to return to it landed safely on a grassfield where it spend a night in storm and rain. My son and I found it the day after (it is red for the same reason
and after drying it and cleaning it with airpressure it flies as well as before. Impressive!
(And just for the record: I live in the countryside surrounded by fields, I would never take a risk over people or living creatures!).
