While paying too much attention to a video capture, I backed into leafless branches. Obstacle avoidance does not work as branches were too thin/light. Drone went straight down and remained in 3' of water for about 10-15 minutes. I removed the battery immediately. Then I set up a fan to dry it out after placing the room temperature to 78 degrees. I left it over night. It started up, home point was set, and it flew multiple modes perfectly. The camera appear to need more drying as the exposure was not correct.
Here is first flight test:
This is my circuit drying set-up ... not too complicated.
The camera focused well but over exposed. The next step will be to dry the gimbal and camera circuits more thoroughly. Their enclosures prevented full drying.
