Mavic Air vs Mavic Pro Cold weather long range flight test

[JakeS]

I took some time today to go to a remote area and give both drones a long range flight test in very cold weather. They both did well but at the extreme end of the flight I suffered from some IMU problems on the Mavic Air. This could have been due to the temperature or it could have also been some strong winds coming down the glacier. Overall I was impressed by the range of the MA. The MP ran out of valley before it ran out of range!

I DO NOT recommend doing this! I went to a very remote area so that if anything went wrong the only one who would loose anything would be me.

I used several visual observers and strobes to keep this within VLOS at all times... I also went to an area where there were no people or property at risk if anything went wrong
