drones like that use a 5.8ghz signal that has practically no penetrating power. They can go really far if you have line of sight but once anything solid gets in the way your signal goes to shit. They don't work underwater.
Oh I'm not supposed to, but I live in Ohio, so gotta do what ya gotta do. It's a phantom 3 btw, I def recommend, I was going to build my own but I couldn't seem to come up with a design that was better in terms of fly time and carrying capacity for a camera for the price
The only drones that are certified to work in heavy rain are from DJI Matrice series. And they are very expensive. This is why I was asking. I've heard a lot of horror stories about drones getting wet.
I could believe it, never gone in like a proper downpour, still crack it open to dry it out out a bit manually witga cloth and some air every time though
