I fly regularly all winter long (I live in Canada). I place those “hot shot” hand warmers in my pockets along with the batteries and cell phone to keep them warm. Seems to help a bit with flight time.right now, in sweden, its been about minus 20 degrees celcius all week.
Really sunny and beautiful and i was thinking about flying the drone but im not sure it can handle the cold.
Any experience or info about this?
Was thinking it would work good but i dont want to take any chances.
1 month ago i flew in like minus 4, and the video started to freeze so i had to look on the map to be able to fly back home.
But that could very well have been the phones fault since i have experiensed problem with the iphone 6 before in cold weather.
Those are some pretty cold temps - glad to hear it worked fine. I have flown in temps that cold but not with my Mini 3 Pro. Did you have any problems with the gimbal sticking when pitching up and down? Also how did you keep your hands warm? I have a transmitter mitt that I have used for my P3S but it is too big for my RC Pro which is the controller that I use to fly my Mini 3 Pro with. I am considering getting another one that is smaller and designed for the smaller controller since I do not like flying with gloves as I find that I do not have the fine control that I want and need. The transmitter mitt in combination with hand warmers usually works for me.I have done some testing past weeks and i can for sure say you can fly in very cold weather.
It was 15 to 25 minus celsius over about 2 weeks and i did fly at least 5 days in that temperature.
No problem what so ever with the drone itself but as usual my iphone did not like the cold.
I was about 700m away when the phone froze so i could not see live video.
Instead i just looked at the map and flied the drone to my homepoint.
It works really good navigating with the map.
