M2P in extreme cold

[foxwilmar]

In a couple of weeks I’ll be covering a car rally going up past the Arctic Circle and likely will have temps around -25/30F. I can keep the batteries warm until flight time but am wondering if I need to use the enterprise heated batteries. Anyone have experience in similar conditions. Thanks.

not with -30 F, but I flew in the Alps on a Glacier with - 25 C what is about -15F. Mavic, batteries and remote were placed in the Van with 20C (68F), and I started the Mav inside the car before I went out. The hole job last about 5h and I used 6 batteries (inkl. reload), always putting the Mav imediately into the car after a flight. Everything worked fine, but on 30f (-35C) I dont know. But, please, let us know how it works .

Flying in cold weather

I am planning to fly the Mavic in as low as -15C/5F weather. I use a parka for my DSLR, and keep its batteries close to my body for warmth. Ironically, it isn’t so much the Mavic’s batteries that I am worried about, but I am having more trouble on finding out how to operate the Ipad at such...

We’re entering winter here in parts of Canada. What temperatures below 0 celsius have you flown in? Know about keeping the batteries warm and to let the drone hover a bit to warm up. Thanks for sharing. Flew a bit last year in January but spent the rest of the winter in Kaui. Postscript: Snow...
