Hello,
I am trying to fly my drone in cold weather and it is around -5 degrees celcius in Canada at the moment. I have two questions:
1.If i bring a drone from a cold environment to a hot one(for example, bringing drone from outside to inside of a car). Is the condensation formed on it gonna damage it?
2.When i fly the drone in cold environment outside, will the condesation form on it(because the drone is hot and weather is cold) and damage it?

and any tips for flying in cold winter is appreciated.

Hi, fansebfd0e0b. Thank you for your reaching out. To put it simply, the water vapor will condense on the lens when the temperature becomes rapidly higher. Similarly, our glasses usually fog up in winter when we suddenly enter a room with a higher temperature. However, the fog will dissipate itself when the ambient temperature is constant. If any issue occurs during usage, please contact us for help. Thank you for your understanding and support.

So the water vapour formed on the drones body or lenses while flying outside is usually harmless  right ?

Whenever the temperature is changed significantly, allow time for the drone to acclimatise slowly before flying or charging.

Put the drone in the trunk in its case/bag then same in the house leave in the bag for a couple of hours you will avoid this condensation.

Hi there. Minor condensation on the lens should be fine but please note that the Operating Temperature of Mini 3 Pro should be within -10° to 40° C (14° to 104° F) to fly safely. Thank you for your valued support.
