What should I do if my drone gets caught in the rain?

Land as soon as it’s safe to do so. Then:

  • Power off the drone.

  • Remove the battery.

  • Dry the exterior with a microfibre cloth.

  • Leave the drone to air-dry fully at room temperature.

  • Avoid powering it back on until you’re confident it’s completely dry.

  • If you see warnings (gimbal errors, sensor faults) after drying, consider a professional inspection before your next flight.
