Another cold weather photographer checking in, condensation can be a bitch really. The worst thing you can do is obviously bring it in, panic over condensation, and run it back outside again for it all to freeze up! Last thing you want is water freezing up I side the lens elements.
What I've been doing is putting the phantom in its box (outside), and close the box completely. Leave the box inside a cooler room, and let it gradually catch up with the temperature of that room, before you bring it out of the box and then bring it in to the warmer parts of the house. Might be a bit over-protective, but while the batteries are charging I can't fly it anyway. Flew in -13 this weekend and used the process above, no sweat at all. Oh and by the way, I'm pretty sure I read in the manual that flying under -10 is not recommended, and flying under -20 could cause permanent damage to the battery... Which is not a good thing mid-air. |
