I face this issue in my brand new Mini 3 Pro. I wanted to take some footage while skiing but it started to de-focus. I didn’t realize at first why then I saw moisture on the lens and I shocked. I had a Mavic Air before and never had an issue like this. I’ve sent it back for repair and they changed the whole gimbal assembly. I used it couple of times. Then guess what, fog appeared again on the new camera also. There might be a production issue in these devices.

When I tried opening my lens after opening the screws.. plastic cover is simply coming off along with camera module and I am not able to take it off like to what u showed in the video. What should I do? I am having issues of foggy lens as well.
@@luelagustino857 I dont think he will reply.. I tried one thing .. get a ziplock bag and fill it with sillica gel packets.. around 50of 1 pr 2 grams each.. keep it locked for 3-4 days. 95 % fog is reduced and there is no degradation in video quality.. let me know if it helps after trying . I tried it and worked like a charm.
I know this sounds crazy but just remove the o-ring. I've tried all other "solutions" but they simply didn't work. My theory is that the difference in pressure when ascending/descending will let moisture in past the o-ring regardless. The trapped moisture condenses on the inside because of the temperature difference between the warm camera and outside cold air. Without the o-ring there is no pressure difference and no moisture being trapped. I've removed it a few years ago and have never had the problem again. Everything is fine after hundreds of kms flying in tropical conditions. Still, do at your own risk.
Bruno, don't forget to use thread locks(those blue "paint" marks) on screws before screwing them back. The vibration can make them unscrew in the middle of a flight and that would be a problem.
There is absolutely no vibration going to affect those screws on the camera housing bro, they're isolated from any vibrations via the Virgin rubber gimbal mounting components. That's what allows the camera to not be affected by... You guessed it, vibration and jerky movements, along with the motorized gimbal of course lol. No lock tight is necessary for this reassembly.
@@Ceejayinduzo I opened the lens and kept it in a bag with dehumidifying granules. And every time, I do not use the drone, I will keep it also in this bag. I think, it will work 🤷
Hi , what is the name of the part that you removed to fix the ring.. I broke the glass on it. Camera and gimbal works fine. I need to order a replacement, just for the glass.
+1 for the people who have completely different internals than this video. The camera actually looks glued in so not a simple swap like in your video. Any tips?
Same. Siliconed into the housing. I opened mine and put it in a ziplock bag with some rice in a warm place. Once condensation appeared on the bag I reassembled and it’s been fine since.
I just noticed this issue on my mini 3 pro last week and was wondering what the hell it was. Initially i thought it was scratches on the lens but on close examination I noticed that they were water droplets.
@@Hirak427 I have the same situation on my drone (i think its a unsuccess tentative to solve the problem from DJI on newest batchs), and unfortunately i lost one of these tiny screws 🥴 So sad, i think i'll need to do a little hole in the front 'glass'.
That's great, but if my mini 3 ever has that issue, it's going back to DJI for a refund or replacement. I didn't spend $1,800 just so I can fix these manufacturing issues myself.
Looks like its going to be trending video....i havent seen the complete video yet.but the number of views already shows this is a big issue for mini 3 pro users.
Easier solution - use UV Ray's- THE SUN or a finger nail dryer or sun tanning place - it should work - be careful - if you live in Florida or CA no problem

Aynı sorun bende de var. Hatta bu sorunu yaşayan bir arkadaşım dronu servise gönderdi, komple gimbal değiştirdiler ve ilk uçuşta lensi yine buğulandı.

@@adaptivebaalak it works bro....I bought 100 bags of silica gel and guess what? It removes all the moist....thank you bro...

what is o-ring? and will putting a cpl solve it?
@@_abhishake_the o-ring is the black circle, the "mini tire" around the camera

They use Silicone grease with Watches on the O ring for a better seal. Maybe try that?
Thank you! Have the same issue with my Mini 3 Pro. Suddenly in flight, the lens is becoming foggy. I hope, I can fix it now.
Hi sir did you fix your drone now?

Yes same with me, 🥲 it is fix on the cap, can’t be removed
I fixed mine

I tried, My mini3 pro have a different interior design around the lense so this method don't work for me but I get less problems when using ND filter.
Thanks a lot, it was exactly that o-ring! Fixed
Where can i buy this 2 Screws? just lost mine
I just noticed this issue on my mini 3 pro last week and was wondering what the hell it was. Initially i thought it was scratches on the lens but on close examination I noticed that they were water droplets.
Do not use a air dryer - usebonly UV Ray's- from the SUN
The lens is glued to the cover. That's why I couldn't remove the cover. Do you have any advice on this?
I also have same issue

So sad, i think i'll need to do a little hole in the front 'glass'.
A simple solution can be using rubber solution or silicon paste to seal the gaps throughout the camera housing lines, has anyone tried it?
This is a very disappointing manufacturing error from #DJI. I bought mine barely a month ago and I am experiencing these problems.
has this issue occured since
Where can I gind this lense part
I'm looking for it too, to replace my cracked lens. Weird that I can't find it. Did you have any luck?
That's great, but if my mini 3 ever has that issue, it's going back to DJI for a refund or replacement. I didn't spend $1,800 just so I can fix these manufacturing issues myself.

I remove the rubber O ring from the camera. Well. that was better than that 😂

It didn’t work, it fogs up in flight. Bring it down, it will dry, put it back up, fog develops
UV rays will dry it out -
Time for DJI insert a tiny heater inside the camera.
Just send it back to DJI there shouldnt be any moisture to condense in the sensor.
This is just bad design.
I copy this link and post in a group
nice, thanks

I haven't experienced any fog or humidity inside the lens of my Mini 3. So everything looks OK.
