Fantastic photo's.
Did you shoot any Video's though.???
Was your drone harder to fly up there with all that ''thin air'' around you.???
What about outside temperature issues and the electrics of your bird.??? Were there any. ???
Would love to see a video though.

The temperature was about -12C. I did not feel any noticeable difference in operating the drone. I did shoot some video footage flying that high, it works well too. May post them here as well. Although I don't think Mavic Pro camera is designed for quality video.
