[size=14.666666984558105px]I know DJI states the lower temperature range is 32' F (0' C) but what is the coldest temperature you have flown in? Today I took it out in my back yard to see how it would do in 11' F. There was only a trace of wind and very overcast. I had no battery alarms/issues to speak of. The only noted issue was a slight gimbal jitter/jello effect when I went up in altitude to do a 360' view.....Overall, I am very happy with the performance in such low temperatures.....OH and I did not have the gimbal cover on....

I flew mine yesterday in -32 celcius (-25.6 F) with no issues - other than cold hands. After a 5 minute flight the batteries were still at +25C so all should be good!

Did you let the mavic (gimbal) acclimate to the cold before you flew? Did it sit outside for a while or did you go straight from warm house to flying?

I actually didn't do anything with the Mavic - just sat it outside on the driveway and took off. It's one heck of a brilliant piece of machinery!

That shows camera has some sort of inert gas inside. If it had not, you would get some fogged lens.

From warm house to -30C lenses would definitely caught some moisture, if it were not filled with inert gas.

I flew this morning for a few minutes,  (-6 degree F) I went up 300 ft took a few pictures of the sunrise and brought her back down, no issues.
