DJI drones over the surf? Salt, sand, or wind problems?

[sidpost]

I would like to get a drone to run over the shore line and look at the surf while fishing mainly.

I wonder about their ability to withstand gusting wind to 35MPH and steady wind of 30MPH. Also whether salt and sand exposure will destroy them or cause unreasonable maintenance needs. I suspect the rotors will be trashed regularly so, that is a given due to the air borne sand.

TIA,

Sounds like a great shoot. I wonder about the open tops on the brushless motors and the sand. You're right, 30mph wind will put a lot of sand in the air.

I saw somwhere on Ebay somebody selling covers for the top of DJI brushless motors. I recall it was quite inexpensive for a set.
