Currently the temps are 0 C / 32 F, which is right around the freezing mark, kind of unfortunate. I am hesitant to bring the Air3S out because it would be costly to fix/replace if it crashes/gets moisture damage. I plan to chill the aircraft without battery before I launch, and put it in a...

Aurora lights were forecasted for tonight and tomorrow, but it is either snowing or raining, so I am chickening out and staying inside. Not too happy I am going to miss it, but I hope there will be more opportunities this winter. That said, I do have a Mini 4K that I can mess with with night...

I hope you did not buy your card from a certain jungle website, because there is a non-significant chance of getting a fake (especially Kingston/Sandisk) card. Test you card using storage testing software, it is possible that your card is not what it is pretending to be.

I will have a strobe light on the main drone that I will be deploying for winter flying - Air 3S. I recently acquired a new-to-me DJI Flip, but I likely won't put the light on that, or my Mini 4K. I will look into reflective tape, thanks!

Yes Very Nice How Much! But the real question is, can I use it to do a dronie?

Which Mini are you referring to? Mini 4K, Mini 3 Regular/Pro, Mini 4 Pro, Mini 5 Pro? I am assuming you mean the Mini 4K since that is the closest in price point to the Neo. I don't have a Neo, but from footage I saw online, the Mini 4K actually has greater quality. In tight locations, you can...

I need to look into this. I will check if the big box grocery stores or online sites sell these packs in small sizes so I can get a couple in a bag (as opposed to a plastic box with vents in it). I do have the stock glass in front of the actual lens on my Air 3S, and a simple UV filter in front...

Haha indeed! Most likely I will only be flying one battery each time, I am still a very newbie to drone flying so I don't have any commercial shoots/jobs going yet. I can see having to stay out in the open if it's a job that you can't fly the drone from indoors/inside a car. Ooooh yes. I have...

Thanks for the heads up! Yup, definitely not flying at near freezing temps (below or above).

Yes!! I did notice from that Youtube clip (couldn't find it now) the pilot was constantly checking the battery info page on the ascent and descent.

Hello everyone, I have a general question about flying drones in winter, above or below freezing temps. It's almost that time of the year again, and this will be my first winter owning a drone, and I am sure the itch to fly will kick in some time after the snow falls. Are my below...

Thumbed up just for the effort, thanks for this info! I do understand fast charging is not good for it, I will have to find another charger that has the correct PD agreement and charges at a slower rate.

That is a very reasonable response, and frankly I am surprised they even tell you how they tried to save you money and offer you a discount on the M4Pro filters.
