Great vid. The phantom rain.org wetsuits are used in the Antarctic with up to 3 layers of wetsuit on the batteries. I’ll be flying in the Himalayas next winter (2021) and will post some footage.

I know you can set the shutter speed on manual photos for night shots but are you able to use say a 1 second exposure when shooting in sphere, wide angle, 180, and vertical modes? I wanting to do a sphere shot of the milky way. Any help appreciated.

Great vid. I’ve taken a Magic pro to 6000 in the Himalayas. Hope to go to 7 next year with the MA2. No issues with altitude just used spiralling or gliding descent.

Does anyone know if self-heating batteries are going to be made available for the Air 2?

Did you do the intro graphics yourself or buy them? If you didn't do them can you post where you got them done? Thanks.

I didn't start using the Mavic until I was very remote (above 4000 meters). Apart from the issues above it took off fine. DJI states the operational ceiling for the Mavic is 6000 which it will do. I just don't know above that. Hopefully, next year will tell.

I would love to know if dji have ever experimented with 4 blade props for the pro or pro 2? I know they are less efficient and could heat the motors and reduce flight time etc, but at extreme altitude where it is cold the additional lift would negate the other issues for me. I wouldn't mind a 15...

One more thing. You also need to set your gimbal to allow upward tilt. The mountains were so high I couldn't get the summits in a lot of the footage. Manaslu is over 8000 meters.

I was using standard props and manoeuvring was much slower, as was climbing and descending. I use tripod mode a lot and turned it off at these altitudes. Horizontal flight was noticeably slower. Gimbal stability was good but there was no wind when I flew at 5200 meters. The biggest issue was...

It was VRS. The drone dropped like a stone of one flight. I was aware of it but a Himalayan Griffin with a 3 metre wing span attacked and I had to get it down asap. Fortunately no damage.

Sorry, wrong link. This one works

Hi Everyone, I recently returned from the Himalayas where I took my Mavic Pro up to 6000 meters. I used an ND32 NISI filter which worked well. Issues were; cold batteries (duhh!), trying to operate the controller using an iPad Mini 4 whilst wearing glacier glasses (better off with a hood) and...
