To clean the lens. Even gently wiping over it would work against the
motors of the gimbal I think. It seems that the one I have can cope
with the duration of my walks.

To be honest, I think that the pictures I made are good enough to see
plenty of things that can be mapped. The parking places discussed
earlier, a bread vending machine etc, are still visible and can be
mapped. When I cannot read a label anymore, yes, then the picture is
worthless.
The pictures might be washed out here and there, but hey, I can live
with that. I can start mapping now and do not have to wait to get back
there when it's dry. For me, Mapillary is a source to map, not a
beauty contest for taking nice pictures. And furthermore, their object
recognition algorithms should be able to cope with raindrops,
otherwise, they will be useless in many real-world situations.

So I will keep taking pictures with light rain.
