Flying in snow

[Attroll]

Has anyone ever flown in a light snowfall?
I would like to go straight up and do a 360 degree turn and video it, but I am a little nervous about doing it.

I have done many times and have never had an issue. Having said that, many on the forums would probably warn against it out of caution. The risk is all yours to take providing you do it carefully.

As long as you maintain VLOS meaning you control the drone by visual sight, not using any looks at the controller screen AND you fly when the sight visibility is at least 3 miles you should be fine. Losing VLOS and reduced visibility means the flight is not legal.

I’ve flown a Mavic Pro (yes the original) and an Autel Nano+ in snow. Worked fine but it was cold fine dry snow rather than wet clumpy snow, if you know what I mean. Pictures were epic for a not so well off suburb in the UK.

Anything postable? Sounds like a novel idea when I’m thinking my drone’s not been flying for about a month….

Yes, how about showing a couple of the video's.

I've flown my Mavic 2 Pro several times in light and slightly heavier snow. I just make a quick flight though, nothing long and sustained, just to keep it from getting too wet. Never had an issue.

Thank you very much. This has a lot of things that I never thought about.
