Thanks Erised. You know what cold weather is all about. I live in Maine and snow could fly anytime now.
Too bad Acadia is a national park, I would love to take off from the top of Cadilac mountain or precipice, the views from there are awsome.Thanks Erised. You know what cold weather is all about. I live in Maine and snow could fly anytime now.
On a sunny day in the snow, you're more likely to need neutral density filters if you want to keep your shutter speed out of the range of shutter roll.If you're going to be flying over bright snowy areas you might need to tweak your photo/video settings to compensate.
Make sure that they're the gloves that are designed for use with touch-screens.Just put some thin gloves on..........
I've routinely flown my Phantom 2V+ at 0 degrees Fahrenheit. You have to watch the batteries, but the biggest problem I've had is my hands getting cold. Get gloves the will work with a touch screen.Ulle, thanks for sharin your experience with the P4 in the cold.
Awesome shot tou got there. Congrats!
Q : when tou take your P4 from inside at 20c +- to the outside at -10c +- do you follow any rules ? I.e wait for the P4 to ajust to the cold? Do you get any lens condensation reaction?
Have ou ever used the P4 at lower temps : -30c to -40
I am in Canada and temps can go down to -30c to -40c in February (rarely but it can happen)
Thanks

You won't get condensation going from inside to outside, you'll get it going outside to inside.
Nice video Ulle . . thanks for posting . . . helps a lot because I've.been wondering about that myself . . bein as how I live in Canada near the 45th parallel and all . . not very far north compared to you in Finland, but cold just the same. I did find some gloves (fleece with touch screen as a feature on the tag the come with) been practicing in 1-5deg C and they work fine on the touch screen. There is a post here somewhere if you search on "Gloves" I think.
Post more sub-zero experiences please . . thanks
Good to know that even 0F works I cant wait for the colder weathers and shooting footage at a local ski center.

Ofcourse! Using your head goes for pretty much anyting when flying.... (and everyting else for that matter) I live in north of Norway and is very familiar to snow! I wouldn´t put my drone in deep, soft snow, but in most cases (depending on location, ofcourse) you would have thin layers of light snow upon thick frozen masses. in these cases the P4 would have no problem, as it blows everyting away upon take off / landing.
