Stuck in snow

[Bamboo]

Flew the bird sideways while freeskiing with friends, didn't look at it and maneuvered it directly into fresh and fluffy snow. It got stuck, motors stopped. I took it out of the snow, cleaned it from the snow that was stuck on it and packed it.

At home i tried to start it and everything worked as normal.

I am very satisfied with that build quality! Well done DJI

Also flew it during snowfall and light (!) rain. Still working!

And that's my story

Cheers

I would be careful not to push your luck

you might consider the "wetsuit" that is made for M2s... guy flew it for 5 minutes in a downpour AND hail storm...

Crashing in fluff isn't much of a testament to build quality. Even the most minor of crashes can cause significant damage to a Mavic. You were just lucky in this case. Also, water may take a bit of time to damage electronics. I wouldn't be out in any kind of moisture. A few light snowflakes is probably okay, but keep in mind that snow and rain are getting sucked into the interior of the MP and that is definitely not healthy.
