Yeah, Night Fog would violate VLOS for sure. You drone flying into fog just made it invisible.

The shots you get wouldn’t even be good. Fog is best when it’s in perspective, not the drone in it itself.

I have flow in light fog during the day and could still see my Mavic travelling through it. I used the Radar to help orient the Mavic to be able to fly back to my home point and landed. Mavic was a bit wet and decided that the moisture could be bad if it accumulates.

If the fog is low to then its great as one can fly OVER it and still maintain VLOS if you are at the right angle or on a hillside above the fog. Then its very ethereal and flowy. As ccoltmann points out the perspective is what makes it such and interesting subject.

Maybe DJI should come out with an ILS and artificial horizon for drone-fog-flyers lol

Im a fair weather flyer. Fog, rain, condensation and night time flying scare me.
