I did my first snow video yesterday. Looked almost like yours but the snow was done falling when I flew lol

To my surprise the drone was almost completely dry I guess from the wind of the blades, only the very top of the drone had a few drops of water everything else seem dry, underneath was dry also, but I only went straight up and straight down... Impressive.

Awesome. I flew mine yesterday after it snowed in below zero weather.

So what are the rules about flying a drone in cold weather? .. It can't be good for the drone. ??

Honestly no idea other than warm your battery to a minimum of 77 degrees. Check out JTO2GO on YouTube he does drone test and mods. He flew in actual snow with no issues.

It can handle cold fine. I've flown in single digit F temps. Though if I fly it on no battery sometimes the gimbal starts to misbehave a tad.

No need to, I don't think I'll be doing that in the cold again anyway ,just because I'm sure it's not a good thing to do.

Cool video! Smart to take your drone out, and not your Mustang! [emoji3]

Bad idea for two reasons. First, phantom 4 does not like less than 32 degrees and you may void your warranty. Second, it likes moisture less. Snow and Phantom 4 electronics don't mix. Water will also void warranty, even snowflakes. I do, however, understand your desire to get it up in the air and the video is great.

Totally agree about keeping the drone warm and dry.
The Mustang has Bridgestone blizzaks on ️ ... You can stop it .
