Just curious on what you're basing that comment. I've taken my good SLRs, DSLRs, and video cameras in and out of ski-country for decades, and more-recently my GoPro camera, and never had a problem.Be careful taking the drones from warm to cold places and back. Condensation can form inside the camera, which will impact you photos & videos.
Ahh Summit County. Lived in Breckinridge, then Blue River and worked in Frisco. Eisenhower Pass got 55 FEET of snow that year ('95-'96). So strange to go in one side of the tunnel when it was sunny, only to emerge to a blizzard coming out the other side!
I agree! I've seen that same phenomenon. It's great, like going into Wonderland or Oz from the real world. Love Breck! Skied Keystone, but had lunch there last week!Ahh Summit County.

Thank you! Since we have a couple of Summit County fans here, this is another "dronie" from the same tripNice picture @SouthernPhantom. Summit County CO is my favorite place to go...anytime of year. Absolutely beautiful and I'd love to take my P3P there next time.
Looks almost like Cascade mountain. Which ski hill?Had ice build up on the blades from a 5 minute flight last night, temp was about 8F with a slight fog if thats even possible. The ice on the blades turned to condensation quickly because i took that picture in the house. Thats a ski hill in the background.
Don't be fearful of flying during winter. Just because you're cold doesn't mean the drone won't perform properly. Just glance at the battery percentage a little more often.

I was given a p3p for Christmas and haven't had much time to fly it yet, but here is one of my winter photos

I know there arent many that will even have to think about this, but where I live it hits 120 degrees F (48 Celsius) sometimes in the summer. What precautions can I take in extreme heat?If you check the Battery Safety Sheet that came with your P3 it recommends flying between -10c and 40c. I live in Canada and flew for 40 minutes yesterday at -8c
Flawless! Very nice!Flight at about -5 Celsius ,
Took off 100% battery fresh from the morning , landed at about 35% .. Aside from my frozen fingers , it flew perfectly
Will test again today at home as it's about -15 Celsius

Hi!
I´ve just bought my new Phantom 3 pro.
The present temperature here in sweden is aprx. -10 dgr. C.
Is there any known problems with flying in under these cold conditions?
Is there a recommended minimum temperature for flying?
I quess the battery will be affected but will there be more problems?
Please give me some good advices.
Nice stills. You using filters on these shots?-5C and my first chance to fly in 81 days!
When I watched the video I actually flew through some snow showers!View attachment 40644 View attachment 40645 View attachment 40646 View attachment 40644
