I was flying at the beach just now and I was taking off from the packed sand at the edge of the water. A wave came in and the water came to where my drone is and it splashed the gimbal. I quickly took off out of the water then landed it on the dry sand. I shut it down and took out the battery and went back to wipe the water and try and blow it out. I’m afraid of corrosion and malfunction. Right after I landed it, I grabbed it and the gimbal started to freak out a little. Any suggestions? Is it toast? Can I send it in to be repaired?

How long did you have it for? I crashed my p3s into a tree when I first got my drone and they fixed it for free since it was under warranty. I would try to email them and say what happened and they should work something out with you. Good luck!

Here’s the invoice from when they fixed mine lol
