Minus 7 Cold but beautiful.

this is super Hallmark, love that it captures the moon so well also,  Great colors and view.

Mavic Pro 2, I assume based on temperature?
How was in the "north" of sweden when you where there? To cold to fly I guess.

Anyways when I see this I just want to put the skates on and hit the ice.

Hi there, thank you for sharing your stunning shot, well done. Fly safely. Cheers!

Lovely shot, detailed and crisp, looks cold in Sweden but here go figure....... it's wet lol

beautiful indeed!

What a nice color combination. Awesome shot

Thank you, my visit up north was to short, I have never experienced such cold weather , I plan to return in late spring it’s a place I would like to see more of. To cold to fly left my drone in Uppsala .
The rest of my two weeks in Sweden were great with all the Family.

Yes mavic2 , yes skating looks tempting on the lake, but still learning to ski, getting to old for this.

Wow. Outstanding shot. Clear composition

Awesome shot

Was that -7 C or F. Noticed the smoke stack back center, looks like a pretty good breeze. Did you experience that? But anyway,great shot. Spring is just around the corner.

Awesome capture

Great shot!  Curious how long you had it in the air and how much the cold did affect range and battery life?  I'm figuring on taping some hand heaters to the top of mine if I fly in the real cold, to keep the battery temp good.

I usually fly in cold weather using rules pasted below, I was in the air for approx 19 minutes landed battery was 6min, so yes slightly less than normal which I always expect, I think initially hovering and battery getting up to speed is where most power is lost, I alway keep craft pretty close and have battery info displayed.
Thank You, below might be interesting for you.

Winter is arriving fast, just a couple of tip to help flying in the cold.

Ensure batteries are fully charged: Some drone batteries include technology that automatically discharges battery power after a certain period of inactivity. This maintenance feature helps extend the battery life, but if you haven’t flown for a few weeks it can be easy to forget that your batteries may no longer be at the levels you expect. Before you head out the door, take a minute to verify that your batteries are fully charged.


Minimize heavy control inputs: Flying at high speeds or at full throttle requires a heavy current from the battery and can cause a sudden voltage drop. Avoiding full throttle, especially during the first few minutes of your flight, and minimizing heavy control inputs will help extend the flight time.

Avoid draining the battery: Under normal weather conditions, maxing out the flight time and flying to a low battery level is common. But when you’re flying in cold weather, completely draining the battery can be risky. Fly until the battery drops to 30-40 percent capacity, and then bring the drone back down. Pack a few spare batteries if you know you’ll need a lot of time in the air.
Bring a portable charger for your mobile device: Many popular drones stream live video to a mobile device on the controller. Remember that the battery in this device will also be impacted by cold weather. You may want to purchase a small portable charger to power up your mobile device if needed.

Steer clear of precipitation

Most drones aren’t waterproof and precipitation of any kind can damage the camera and gimbal, short out a motor, or cause other malfunctions to the drone or controller. If your drone does get caught in the rain or snow, land it as soon as possible. Make sure to dry off the props and body of the drone. In particularly cold weather.

It’s amazing how close that moon looked until I seen the Photo, thank you.

Yes I took a photo on my first DSLR, Olympus, I thought I had such a good shot of the moon... Nope !

Thanks John, yeah back now, looks very dreary, and looking at the weekend looks like the wind and rain will be back, Great.

If it's not rain, it's the wind........ roll on the summer and warmer weather. The long range productions are for another scorcher, hotter than last year.

Super nice capture!
