How's your battery life?

wow! looks freezing! how low is the temperature there?

i started with 100% battery i flew 14:32 min and i still had about 3 min flight left temperature was -5C, seems like about the same batt life i will do more test on colder darker days, it was also snowing so far so good having so much fun with it

Great and interesting shots, thanks for the post. Now, as others are asking, what was the Temp. and hoe did the Phantom and Battery perform? I would have to say that your experience with that Temp. is far colder than any of us would fly in.

Looks like a mild Autumn

Brrrr!  Definitely a place where you'd need a ND filter to cut down the light.  Being that far North do you ever have a problem calibrating your compass or getting a enough satellites for a good GPS lock?

BTW, did someone use a snowblower to make a resolution target in that 2nd photo?

my satellites are good 17 to 18 but my compass is screwy as we are more north then magnetic so i cant do all those cool stuff thy put out recently, photo was all by shovel so kids can skate

where can i buy ND filter for the camera size lens?

Check the DJI store. Go for a no 8

Were the batterieswarm before flight or at minus degrees? Planning for the winter here

Wow! Great photos

Great photos! A little too cold for me though. If you use Healthydrones.com did you happen to check the max battery temp achieved?

Cool very Cool.

When you say you can't do the cool new stuff because of your location what functions do you mean. I live in Rankin Inlet Nunavut just a little north east of you and I am thinking of getting the Phantom 3 and I was wondering what some of the limitations might be.

Thanks

Hey Peter it is because I'm more north then magnetic north, there should be no issue for your location

That's not what an ND filter is for. You don't need an ND filter for photos. You can adjust the camera for lighting conditions.

Please save your money by ignoring this wrong information on ND filters. There is an epidemic of incorrect usage of these things.

If you are only taking photos ND filters are completely unnecessary as you can make exposure adjustments with the camera.

Since the Phantom has a fixed aperture, ND filters are used to reduce light in videos where you want to achieve a "cinematic" motion blur effect by having your shutter speed at 2X the frame rate, e.g. 1/60th of a second at 30fps. Motion blur is a matter of preference. I often prefer videos without it. You may need an ND filter on a very bright day. If your video shutter speed is too high you may get the jello effect which is unpleasant to watch.

For photos, just adjust the camera shutter speed up or down to get the exposure you want .

I think your photos look great.
