Operations in dusty environment question...

[sonicpilot]

I am considering operating a Mavic 2 Pro to film operations in a dusty environment (think construction/excavation site). Anyone have experience in this area? What precautions could one take to minimize any harm to the drone in this environment? We do periodically run a water truck around the site, but it can still be dusty at times.

@sonicpilot use a landing/takeoff pad ,or hand launch /land if you can, try to avoid being down wind of the dust when construction traffic is throwing it up, get a can of air or a puffer and blow off the motors and camera and gimbal after a days flying and check the props carefully for any damage to the leading edge during flight,basically be extra vigilant during your airframe inspections

Some sage advice! Thanks Old Man Mavic!
