I have the mentioned ultralight mid, and experience getting wet from microdrops of water when it is raining heavily?
Is it condensation being beaten off the fabric or is it small holes in the fabric?
Has anyone else experienced the same?

I don’t have any experience with that shelter, but it should be fully taped. That means the only likely holes would be somewhere in the body panels of the shelter which seems unlikely. Dyneema is very tough and you would probably be able to see any holes (which can be easily repaired with dyneema tape).

My guess is condensation of even a little bit of splashing if you aren’t pitched tight to the ground. You could test for holes and splashing by setting it up in your yard with a hose. Good luck finding the issue, nothing worse than getting wet inside your shelter!

Condensation is the most likely culprit. Carrying a small sponge or swedish cloth to wipe down the interior is helpful when you can't/don't want to pitch it with alot of ventilation or your campsite/environmentals are high humidity.
