I'm heading out tomorrow with friends on a short motorcycle trip to Red Bluff Miss.  I thought I'd fly the mavic over the edge and get some nice shots of us. The mavic will be in a saddle bag and it will be a hot day. Would the mavic warn me if the battery is to hot?  I know there are sensors and temp reports on the controller.  I plan to find some shade, set up the mavic and at least let it cool a bit to ambient temp before flight.  But didn't know if I should anticipate other warnings. Would hate to lose it over the bluff...
Thanks

If you are worried about the temp in the saddle bags you could always purchase some of the HOT/COLD storage bags (almost like a thermal lunch pail) and store the batteries in there while your traveling. This should help reduce the temp of the batteries.

I've got a few ideas stored away for the 1 time I need to share it. Almost like a memory/idea hoarder.

The battery top side and drone surfers above the battery are quite hot after flying. There is no warning on app. But situations will become worst when weather going hotter. Is anything need to worry when flying in hot weather?
