cold

This is more about humorous flying temps than anything so I put it here instead of Photos and Video but mods can move it if they wish. This is just a little excerpt from a flight a year or two ago.

We finally got a bit of a chill and it's -27F today so I thought I'd do a quick test. My Avata was the only drone with full batteries but you can generalize this a bit. I'll do a few more battery tests with the Mav 3 and Mini3 Pro at some point too. In any case.... I started out with 95% battery...

The DJI Mavic 3 is not only great in terms of image quality, it also performs really well in the freezing cold! I also created a longer snowshoeing adventure video on the same trip:

I will be flying my mavic air 2 in freezing temperatures for the first time in a few days, I'm coming to Ukraine now in January and the temperatures are below 0°C (32°F). What are your suggestions for doing so safely? What I already know: Only fly in good weather, no rain or wet snow The...

Had a good time this weekend with some drone buddies filming the 2021 Indian Lake Sled Head Poker Run. Over 175 snowmobiles fly across the frozen lake to different stops. It was a good time, cold but fun! Most of the footage was filmed on the Mavic Air 2 with some FPV clips thrown in toward the...

This is the coldest temps I have ever flown a drone. The Mini 2 continues to impress me!

So I've been reading the forums and I know a lot of people get this jello effect when flying in sub-zero cold weather. Some say the drone needs to acclimatize before flying it. I didn't do that, I just took it out of my warm car and flew it straight away while sitting in the car. So it was out...

The beast from the east have caused chaos recently, and it's back again to consumed Britain. And it came with purposes. Here, a short full film shot from a day trip out shooting. So as usual, comment and let me know your thoughts, CC welcomed and if you like the video, please do press the like...

Hello everyone, first of all I’m French and I apologize in advance for my English and the vocabulary, I have tried to do my best, secondly I apologize for the long text, I have tried to be as concise as possible while exposing all the details, but I think that the content can be interesting to...

Hello, I'm going on a road trip and would like to take the Mavic. I plan on sleeping in my car and am expecting temperatures to be anywhere from 20F to 50F. I suppose I could put them in my pocket while I sleep, however, that doesn't sound all that comfortable. How would I keep the batteries...

As we all know, the batteries used by the Mavic are "smart", in that they can: Monitor themselves, including current, voltage, temperature, etc. Detect and interface with devices, and supply that information to them Discharge themselves over a period of time automatically Know when they're...

Yep, Getting cold. Looked at these gloves for flying. Not bad. What are you using?

Hey all, it's my first time flying my drone and first try at editing with Premiere Pro (trial version). I shot in D-Log and colored for the very first time. I tinted the video a bit red for some warmth and added some blue to the sky as the original footage had white light, white snow and a lot...

Hi all! Just got my Mavic in Finland last week. The weather has been in the -5C...+4C region. This morning i went to a beach to shoot the sunrise and icy landscapes: There was something weird going on with the gimbal, some shots are tilted to the left. I calibrated the gimbal on an uneven...

Traveled to Eldred Rock Lighthouse and Eaglecrest Ski area near Juneau, Alaska this week. Took my Mavic with me of course.

There have been a number of threads talking about people having issues with iPhone battery life (especially in cold temperatures). Here's my experience: I have flown a number of times at 0F to 18F (-18 to -8 Celsius) (each time the Mavic rode folded in backpack exposed to the cold but the...

Hey there, everyone. I'm new to this forum and a new Mavic Pro owner, as well! I have a question that I'm hoping you can help with. Yesterday, I took my Mavic Pro on a snowshoeing hike near Mt. Saint Helens and flew it for about 45 min. It flew beautifully although I did get a cold temperature...

After quite a bit of experimentation, I've figured out some stuff with my Mavic, I thought I'd share. First, flying in cold (20F) weather, my battery was fine, but the camera seemed not to have a flat focal plane. Edges was blurry. Figured out, that this was just an artifact of the cold (go...

I have been flying the heck out of my new Mavic since I received it less than a week ago. It has been flawless and performs amazingly. It's a total game-changer for me since filming in remote mountain locations is my thing. This was my high altitude and cold temperature test of the Mavic. This...
