Thanks for watching and the question. Nope, I didn't water proof it, but a thin layer of conformal on the FC and back of camera would be a good idea. Usually if it drops in the snow, I just blow off the loose snow, whack it gently against my leg a couple of times to get anything out from the canopy, and let it dry out (or not). The snow and air are cold enough it doesn't melt very much. Also, if the temp is anything under -5c or so, whoop batteries die very fast. Because we average -20c for most of the winter around here, I don't really fly whoops outside that much, so I don't bother with conformal on my whoops. If I was flying in snow daily, or anywhere with lots of moisture (wet lawn), I'd put conformal on.
Waterproof it?
