Flying through clouds?

Has anyone tried this yet? Wondering if the moisture in a cloud would be enough to mess up the electronics.

Not a great idea, keep it within visual line of sight all the time.

Flying P3A through fog/low clouds? Moisture? | DJI Phantom Forum

Clouds and fog are basically floating rain. You will soak the motors in no time and risk failure while flying.

I've seen a lot of videos on youtube of people flying their phantom thru the clouds...

I've flown through some light mists over creeks without a problem but it is not a great idea for so many reasons. Think about even a momentary short circuit at 300.

FYI. The law states that you need to have your drone insight at all times. If it’s in the clouds , you can’t see it. that’s a issue.
So please be safe . Remember these drones are very expensive and can also hurt someone very quickly.
Thank ahead. Fly smart.
