So it's 3 degrees F this morning warming to maybe 17 degrees F this afternoon. Just curious about how cold some of you folks have flown your Mavic.
I flew my Phantom 3 A last year when it was maybe 20 degrees with no problem.

**** that's cold-15F today. Flew no problem but a lot of condensation on the MP when I brought it in, so I warmed it up slowly in the garage first.

I flew in - 5F yesterday and the Mavic flew just fine. Biggest problem is the winter wind. Watch out for condensation when you bring it inside, though

I have a few FPV buddies that fly with this:My first post, I've been watching the cold weather flying thread for a bit. I bought my MPP about 10 days ago and finally decided I was going for a flight here. It has been -35C/-30F for over a week but just went and did it yesterday. The temperature at take off was -24F the flight went fine although only lasted about 7 minutes as my hands were totally frozen near the end and I had to use rth to bring the drone back. Besides that it was a great first flight.
I am not that desperate yet, to invest in one of these, to fly when it is that cold. Has been way below 0 the past week in western Wisconsin, but got up to a whopping 4 degrees F this morning. I have flown when it has been in the teens, Mavic did well, fingers did not.
Yeah it is a bit extreme to fly with one of theseI am not that desperate yet, to invest in one of these, to fly when it is that cold.
