How Weather Affects This Drone

Understanding weather impact on flight performance

Flying in Wind

The Afterburner Sport can handle winds up to 14 m/s, but strong gusts can affect stability and battery consumption. Always monitor wind conditions before and during flight, and use the return-to-home function if conditions worsen.

Flying in Rain

The Afterburner Sport is not waterproof and should never be flown in rain or wet conditions. Water can damage the electronics, motors, and camera, voiding your warranty. Always check weather forecasts and avoid flying if precipitation is expected.

Cold and Hot Weather

Extreme temperatures can significantly impact battery performance and flight time. In cold weather (below 0°C), batteries discharge faster and may not provide full capacity. In hot weather (above 35°C), the drone may overheat. Always keep batteries at optimal temperature before flight and monitor battery levels closely in extreme conditions.
