So I ditched my Karma drone into a river this week. Most likely it was my own fault, getting worked up because the battery was getting closer to the end. It took me a couple of minutes to retrieve it from the water, camera was still running all lights on the Karma still on, I could power it off regularly.
Emptied it of water immediately, removed the battery, the stabilizer, the camera from its casing and dried everything off, as well I could.
At home, I let it dry for a few hours, then I contacted support. We made a few tests, which revealed the stabilizer to be defective, the battery dead and also, I couldn‘t turn on the power with a completely dry second battery that I have, on the drone.
Question: would you attempt to disassemble the Karma, to check for any residue water? How long, in the dry winters conditions at home, before attempting to revive the system again? What are my chances it will be still alive?
