My Mavic Mini clipped a small branch and fell into a river this week. After two days I was able to recover it this morning. There is a scratch on one of the legs, not even a broken prop. It was sitting on a root system of a tree so it never sat on the muddy bottom. Any chances it will still fly? I sold my remote so I would have no way to test it. Does it have any resale value (ebay) as it is?mmmmmmm.jpg
 
If you'd ask me... very likely it will fly again.

You need extra care and extra work. You need to remove every board except the ESC, and every single shield from the boards.

Rinse them with inert alcohol and de-oxid. The gimbal and camera assembly are pretty much sealed.
