    Exactly. That’s why I don’t want to carry extra Mavic batteries with me. You understand what it takes to carry three (minimum) chainsaws to the wilderness. And It wouldn’t be that bad but there are those rakes to carry too!

    Guess something gets lost in translation. My Nikon batteries are ~2 mAh give or take. Mavic batteries are in totally different league in what they store. The power consumption of these devices is in totally different too, of course. So I’m not talking about the capacity but how different...

    Thanks! I reckon there is no shortcut here :) I just carry as many extra batteries as I can! And no, I’m not misreading the batteries. I know their capacities. I was just wondering how come Mavic batteries loose power without them being used. Once charged my Nikon lithium’s hold the charge for...

    If not, then you have a good point. Is it so though? Are the Mavic’s “intelligent” batteries the lowest possible weight option? I’m just asking because I don’t know. To me it seems that I can carry a lot more amps on my Nikon camera batteries with less weight though. I might be totally wrong...

    Btw (could be an other thread) it seems that these batteries drain themselves quite fast without any use. At least when the temperature drops down. Any take on that? How do you keep your batteries in subzero temperatures? Talking about Celsius degrees but that would be below 32F I guess.

    Any good recommendations? I have a few for charging phones etc. but those Mavic batteries need more juice.

    Thanks everyone! I guess I’ll just take the drone and four batteries with me. Shoot what I can and leave the gear at some place when the batteries are dead and pick the stuff up when I’m coming back from my hike:)

    Thanks. But luckily I’m in Finland so those regulations don’t apply.

    I’m thinking about taking my MP2 to my next week long hike next summer in wilderness. I have not decided yet what other camera gear I will be taking with me, but the gear usually weigh more than my food for the trip:) I guess I could take the mp2 with two or three batteries with me. Now, what...

    Hello from Finland!

    Hi! I’m a total noob in the drone world as I got my Mavic 2 pro a week ago. Now I’m learning to fly and bought a fly-more-kit yesterday... Not my first Hasselblad camera though :) /henri
