Mini Nova Scotia Snow

[JamieK]

Just for fun I launched the Mini in our developing blizzard, winds were under 20mph at the time...took a while to acquire satellites though

An other scene from a fairy tale ?

I hear the cold reduces battery performance quite a lot, did you get any sense of how much fly time is reduced in cold weather?

I launched with about 80% battery and was up for about 5 minutes and it was over 70%. Temps weren't bad though, about 0C/32F. I honestly wasn't paying attention to the battery because I knew it wasn't going to in the air for long.

I didn't realize how cool (npi)that photo was until I expanded it. Really nice!

The batteries in your pocket may not perform as well when called upon but the one in the drone is warm from being in use.
