Greetings All,
Two days ago I was in Little Cottonwood Canyon in Utah getting some amazing footage of the bare granite slabs of rock. I've never had a problem with the Ipad Mini 4, but when I was out in the cold too long the screen suddenly went black and I had to fly the M2Z home using the RC. Not a big deal since I have practiced flying it home by using only the RC info.
As soon as I flew it back "Home Point" I got into my truck, turned the heater on and warmed up the Ipad Mini. As soon as it was toasty warm the screen immediately came back without having to restart the Go 4 app.
Has anyone else experienced a "cold blackout" on your iPad, phone or other tablet? This post is mainly just a heads up for anyone using an iPad Mini 4 flying their drone in the cold, but I think it would be useful info for everyone.
Great Day!
