Great video. You’ve got beautiful scenery to work with. I live in Canada and like you we get cold and a fair bit of snow. I use an iPhone 7 but have had serious issues as the battery on it will suddenly go from almost full to zero mid-flight. What do you use for smartphone? Do you have similar cold battery issues?
I flew for the first time in winter conditions (similar to OP's) last week-end and had the same issue with the phone. iPhone 6s Plus. One flight went fine - phone down to 75%, Mavic battery down to 60%. Changed location (while keeping the phone warm), changed to another warm Mavic battery. Just as I was starting the flight, my phone just shut off. Landed. restarted the phone. It showed 62% or thereabout. Launched, and the phone shuts off again. When I started charging it at home, it started straight from 60%.
The temperature outside was about -2C, and it's the first time I experience a shut off at such a high phone battery percentage. I thingk the culprit was a combination of sub-zero temperatures, full brightness on the screen and DJI Go's high CPU usage, which combined drew more amps from the battery than it could deliver. |
