nice maneuvering around the trees. I was trying to figure out where you must have been standing on those mountainside shots.

im shocked at the number of trees that are still green up there. i would have assumed everything would be dark red by now or just gone.

yes. nice video indeed.

Nice video.

I'd like to try flying in snow when it arrives here in Ct. Did you have any frames that were ruined because of snow on the lens? When you landed did you find snow stuck to the body? How did you protect the battery? Did the weather affect the battery discharge rate? Any tips for flying in snow would be very much appreciated.

Well, first of all, no the snow actually never affected a shot... It has other years though....

I didn't protect the battery at all...

Did the weather affect the battery discharge rate?

Probably but not much...

One of the best tips I can give though is: When you get back inside don't let the drone warm up too quickly!!!! (Very Important) The lens can easily get damaged by condensation...

Although things might be different with the Mavic Air...

MKurr, Thanks. Very helpful.

I hope you get some nice shots...

Btw, I still would not recommend flying in heavy snow...

Thanks again. That's something I would never consider.

Although if you look at my video you see quite a few flakes.... ?

I did see that. But I'm going to be cautions and try it when there's just a light flurry. I don't want to risk anything!

On another mountain!
