Air 2s Waterspout in Florida

I woke up to a surprise two days ago. There were two waterspouts near where we are staying in Florida. I did not get the drone up in time before the first one dissipated. But I was able to capture the second one.

I don't think I would have been brave enough to send mine up in conditions like that....good capture

Good timing!! How wet was your drone when you got it back?

Great video.
The Air 2S seems to handle the rain quite well ;-)

Nice catch. I have seem few of them and they are always spectacular.

My biggest concern was the rain. There was not much wind but a wall of rain was approaching from the left.

A little more wet than I liked. When I took off it was not raining. But it started coming down pretty good so I brought it back. But by the time I had brought it down it stopped again. But I wasn’t going to put it up again because a wall of rain was approaching from the left.

I wasn’t taking it far because the heavy rain was approaching. I would not make a regular practice of flying it in the rain. It wasn’t rainy when I took off. And it started sprinkling. But after it started taking a bit harder, I brought it back at that point.

I was so excited to be able to see one. We have friends staying about a mile and half closer to it and got some amazing close up pics.
