Pouring rain and 15 ft ish over water. Gimbal guard was on for protection. Tough little guy.

Did you cover the buttons on the top? That’s what I’d be worried about - water working it’s way in and frying the electronics.

No I did not. There's not much to cover on the NEO propellers.
Truth be told, I would not try the same with my Air 3S.

I think the danger is water seeping in where the power button is and could easily cause a problem. That's where the wetsuits can protect the electronics, from what I seen others say.

Few people I've heard of that have issues after a water crash.
If you can retrieve it from the water a good cleaning and drying with alcohol and toothbrush brings it back to life.
A electrical short from water on circuit boards isn't so easy to happen.
But I try not to take chances anyway.
The battery may be another story.
