Temps was -20F and the winds were blowing 20-25mph. My FPV did a great job against the wind but I'm looking forward to similar conditions with my Mavic 3 to see how the gimble improves things. I had to cut sections out that had reasonably decent steady video as it did get buffeted about quite a bit. Regardless of that, I'm impressed and love the FPV view. I wished the M3 could be used with goggles. It provides such a wonderful, immersive view. Shot about 2hr west of Fairbanks Alaska, just short of the Yukon river. Humorously after titling the video and looking on google earth for a map there was a picture on google earth and the title was...."The Frozen Forest". Not as original as I thought .  This was just my third or fourth flight. I know it's a little jerky and some of that is my lack of experience and some of it is 30mph gusts of wind . Still, a great day of flying.

Beautiful spot!

Amazing footage and what a beautiful location to fly at.  

What great scenery. And some pretty intricate flying.Despite the adverse conditions.

Impressive footage! Loved the truck going through

That truly shows the power of winter. I especially loved the final scenes, so beautiful shots. :-)

thanks. I am new to drones but learned from my buddy to get above any haze if it's possible to do so. the view from just above a hazy cloud is often quite unusual and photogenic.

Lovely footage.
I'd love to get more of that white here.

Nicely done.    

Great views and spot! Thanks for sharing!

Your buddy taught you well.  Keep up the great work.  

I can feel the cold and chill just by watching - Thanks for sharing  

Hello there digibud. Good day and thank you for posting this cool aerial video you have filmed. Great work and thank you for your support. .

Did you have any issues with battery life in that cold?

Did you have any issues with battery life in that cold?

None. Well...of course, it is lessened the battery life but we'd still get 12min or so even at that temp but we start with batteries that are in our car. We fly from inside our car since we are delicate things that don't enjoy standing outside at -20F in a 20mph wind.  If you had to try to use a battery that was down at that temp...that would probably be unworkable.  I have done a LOT of aurora photography and having the camera outside at -50F shooting is an interesting trick. You need multiple batteries and they only last as long as it takes to get down to wherever the battery dies which takes about 5min, then you switch batteries and when the cold battery warms up, it's good to go again.  In the case of drones I would not try shooting with a battery that was already very cold as it could easily fail in mid flight but if you start with a warm battery it's good. I did get (can't see my orig post and don't know if I mentioned...) an alert or two that said something like "bad battery charge" which I have learned can be a result of fighting too hard into the wind and the drone working too hard but in those instances I brought the drone back immediately without incident. I don't fly too far from my position in these extreme temps although in deep snow, ¼ mile is as good as 10miles in terms of me being able to retrieve it so it's somewhat pointless.
