Default DJI drones and water

A word of caution... the documentation that comes with the DJI Mavic Pro is very clear and emphatic that wet batteries are a fire and possible explosion risk. If you see one of these go down in the water and you choose to retrieve it, I believe the manual says to leave the battery on a nonflammable surface away from people. I would hate to see someone hurt because they pick one of these up and set it in their boat not knowing the risk.
