Go for it. Just keep your eye on battery levels.

as a matter of fact I think I'll get ready and go now   It's such a beautiful sunny day wind is low and I need the practice.

It's best to slowly get some experience at low temperatures.  I have flown in mountains down to 8 deg F but I take precautions to keep all my batteries warm until flight time and I have stick on body warmers to keep my iPhone warm.

I have flown my Mavic Pro in as cold as -25f (-30c) and it didn't have any issues other than shorter flight time. I always keep the batteries warm until I am ready for take off and then I let the drone warm up and hover for a minute or so before flying a lot. Keep an eye on the battery temp while you fly around to make sure it stays above 20c

Cheers

yeah I have always found my drone could outlast my fingers and other devices...

I must be a wimp.

If I have to take my shorts off and put long pants on, IT is way to cold for me.
But I am glad that there are those who can take the cold . I am also glad the Mavic can handle it. Other wise I would not get to see those stunning winter scenes.

I would recommend a pair of touch screen friendly gloves.

this morning when i went to fly my drone i got the best videos of all time,  I set the settings on the camera to manual settings  and i am still amased at the quality of the video, now i am thinking of nd filters, everyone says that it will make the world of difference, now if I can only learn how to upload these videos and show you people what i've done,  I have a good friend that i will see this weekend and he might help me out with that.

Officially 0c but I've flown in sub zero temps with no issues.

Hi, there. I would recommend you follow the specs in our website. Operating Temperature Range of mavic pro is 32° to 104° F ( 0° to 40° C ). Please warm up your drone when you want to fly it in cold weather.

oh it was well warmed up, and like I said yesterday was just a wee bit warmer and I never had any problems with it all day.
