    Hi
    I'm very new to drone flying and due to my career choice in Fisheries and Wildlife Conservation Biology, I need a drone that not only flies well in strong winds but is durable, has a good camera and is waterproof in case I need it to fly during rainy conditions or it falls into a body of water. I'm not asking for an indestructible drone, just one that can withstand the elements while I'm out in the field.

    The newer DJI drones are ok in light rain, heavier rain with the matrice m200.
    However I think the most famous actually waterproof drone is the Splash Drone

    There are folks on eBay etc offering to ‘waterproof’ a regular drone with water repellent sprays, but I don’t recommend those, especially not for your situation.
