Be careful putting the Phantom 3 in a fridge as when you remove it the sudden rise in temperature will cause moisture to form on the aircraft. Not sure what the chances of this causing damage is but having any wetness on a device that operated on battery is not a good idea. Also it might well invalidate any future warranty claims ( especially posting that you do it on an official site ). This is not defacto info and if DJI come and say "by all means put the P3 in a fridge" then I stand corrected, it jusy my opinion
For those who live in a hot country ( nope not me, I live in the UK ) maybe try and leave the P3 near an air conditioning machine to cool it down a little. Some have also said they leve it outside and do the IMU there. Also make sure the batter has no just charget as it might be warm, allow it to cool also but not necesserlily outside.
When doing the IMU its best to get the controller ready ( powered on with Pilot App running ) and the Phantom on a LEVEL surface before even putting the battery in ther P3. Then quickly power it on and instantly start the IMU calibration. his keeps allows the IMU to be done whilst the P3 is still cool and hopefully reducng the time the "warmup" takes there after. Mine took just seconds after this.
Remember to buy extra propellers and one or two spare batteries to keep you flying
