It is generally not recommended to fly a DJI drone in the rain, as the moisture can damage the electronics and sensors, leading to malfunctions or failures.
Most DJI drones are not designed to be waterproof, and are only rated for use in light rain or snow.
However
if you do need to fly a DJI drone in the rain, there are a few steps you can take to reduce the risk of damage:
Make sure the drone is dry: Before takeoff, wipe down the drone and make sure it is completely dry. If the drone is wet, moisture can seep into the electronics and cause damage.
Use a rain cover: Some DJI drones, such as the Phantom 4 RTK, come with a rain cover that can help to protect the electronics from moisture. If your drone doesn't have a rain cover, you can try using a clear plastic bag or other waterproof material to cover the camera and sensors.
Avoid flying in heavy rain: If possible, avoid flying in heavy rain or storms. The strong winds and lightning can present a risk to the drone and the operator.
Land the drone as soon as possible: If you do fly the drone in the rain, make sure to land it as soon as possible. The longer the drone stays in the rain, the greater the risk of damage to the electronics.
It's important to remember that flying a DJI drone in the rain can be risky and may void the manufacturer's warranty. If you do need to fly in wet conditions, be sure to take extra precautions to protect the drone and follow all safety guidelines.
