Another one of these videos [0] popped up on reddit [1] the other day. This time with an FPV quad. I think it's a better video, though no report on the damage.

Hey, that's me flying the drone!

There was absolutely no heat damage. I assume it's because we were in the heat for such a short time, and the air temperature was below freezing that day. Also, the drone flies pretty fast. Regardless, I was genuinely surprised that there was no damage.

If you like the linked video, you should see how it looked a night: instagram.com/icelandaerials

I'd love to see your conversation with DJI repairs.

Can't imagine they get volcano-damaged drones into their lab very often!
