Can I do this?

I Am going To Svalbard next month. For those who may not know, it is only 650 miles/1000 Kms from the North pole.

As you can imagine, it is going to be quite cold, and I suspect that I will only be able to do short flights. (-21C/-6F currently)

Not only the concern are keeping the batteries warm, but the biggest problem for me at the moment is for the iPad, which is the tablet I use for flying.

I have this cover in the picture for my DSLR. You can put your hands on either side, keeping them warm, while you look at a transparent cover in the back. I used it in Finland in December 2 years ago, and it was amazing how it did help keeping the camera functioning longer.

Do you think I would be able to put the controller/Mavmount/Ipad in there to fly the Mavic without the antennas sticking out?

No reason you can't experiment with it before you leave? FWIW there was a thread a few days ago with someone posting Panorama's taken with and M2P i think it was and he said it was -6F at the time he took them and he had no issues..

Maybe something like this

A member from Canada says he attaches those disposable hand warmers to the back of his iPad to keep it warm.

Some hardy fellows here.
Yes, you can fly in the cold.

So if Occusync works thru a car, I shouldn't have too much of a problem with transmission thru this parka, right?
