@MrGoodMan13 Год назад

I would also add that when you come home or to a warm place after shooting in cold conditions, it's better to let the cold drone sit in the bag for a couple of hours before u take it out. This will ensure that drones' inner parts do not get moisture as a result of condensation due to rapid cold/warm temperature changes. Bag itself will be getting warmer smoothly as well as temperature inside the bag.

@dannyhendy Год назад

I heard a good tip after flying in cold conditions where there's more moisture... After drying down the drone, put a silica gel bag in with the gimbal before replacing the gimbal guard. Helps to dry out any moisture around the camera

@maltemejlsing513 Год назад

Put the whole drone in a silica gel bag? and have the gimbal guard off while doing it?

@robbybobbyhobbies Год назад

Amazed the in-car option works. Always thought cars were Faraday cages. Obviously you've tested this so I've learned something new.

@kjetilbjrnstad406 Год назад

I use a typical transparent thin plastic bag (which is ment to put bread inside when you pre cut it at the food store), to store a cold drone inside when bringing it inside to a hotter humid environment. That way the moisture that a cold object - the drone - draws from the air stays outside of the bag while it heats up.

@MyViewsOfTheWorld Год назад

As for planning, since I do alot of ad hoc road trips, I don't always know what I will have to video and photograph. I usually take a first flight to get an aerial view of the area. I then bring it down, charge the battery again just for good measure while I inspect the pictures on my laptop. Then I can plan the flights. Lastly, you talked about flying from the car. I do that all the time, even taking off from the sun roof instead of the ground or hand-launching.

@MarkMichalowski Год назад

And I guess you're less likely to attract attention from people wondering what it is that you're doing. Good tip, especially when it's chilly.

@orsonfilm5089 Год назад

A good video Matt. Love it. Here is an extra tip for not building up moisture on the lens... Let your drone, only your drone and not the batteries, climatise... Let it stay in the cold for a while, in your bag. then you will not have this issue.

Amazing video and super helpful content. Can you also please suggest something for the condensation inside the drone's lens? Thank you! 😄

@robbinsdrones Год назад

Looking forward to shooting in the snow, these tips will come in handy for sure. Interested to see how the cold impacts flight time on the Mavic 3. The attitude indicator / compass also could come in handy for showing wind variations?

@paulstrick2248 Год назад

I would add to you post shoot actions. I’d also recommend that when you get back home you take your drone out of its bag, take out the battery and allow it a few ours to get back to normal temperature without being in your bag. The reason I say this is going from freezing cold into a warm house you may get condensation in your kit. If you leave it out and open rather than in your bag. The circulation of air will bring it back up to temp and should help stop condensation.

@MyViewsOfTheWorld Год назад

Thanks for the tips, Matthew! I have a habbit of putting the batteries in my inner coat pocket ever since I started with digital photography to keep them warm. As for Wirestock, do you upload raw videos or edited ones? What is the best practice there?

@TheDroneCreative Год назад

Happy to help! Keeping the batteries in a coat pocket in cold weather really helps keep them warmer. I usually lightly edit my stock videos, a little saturation boost is normally all I do!

@thriftysurvivor6117 Год назад

Do you have any ideas for preventing ice buildup on the props in the first place? Some have suggested applying a thin coat of WD-40 to the props. Can you confirm weather or not that actually is effective?

@Chris_da_fro 6 месяцев назад

I've used the mini 2 in -34⁰C. It flew for about 20 minutes, the battery was room temp when I swapped it out. There was also low moisture in the air

@Stefan_Boerjesson Год назад

Haha. Reading the title I thought, "why/how fly in winter". You spotted the number one issue directly. Snow or sand, nothing for the inner of the drone. Starting from the hand looks okey but landing in the hand..... mind the fingers or the nail cutter can go to the trash bin... Joking! High level tips, fear icing on the propellers. As a former pilot, I know what icing can do. Discharging the battery when flying that ought to create some warming in the battery, but of course, maybe not enough. My question: what about the remaining battery indication in the controller? Does it reflect the lower capacity or does it provide "dreams"? Thanks for the lesson!

@deveenbr1169 7 месяцев назад

Damn I just recently got my drone and did everything he said we shouldnt do. * Operating in -14 degrees * Take of from snow Good I watched this haha.

@catman76 Год назад

Flying in clouds or fog can prevent the drone from landing. The downward facing sensors can “see” the fog as physical ground. Thankfully a tip from a fellow flyer and not firsthand.

@TheDroneCreative Год назад

This is a great piece of advice! Thanks for sharing!

@thetopicala Месяц назад

Thanks for the tips! I have a question: How to store batteries? All in the charger unit or may I leave fully charged battery inside the drone? And storage and maintain of batteries after a fly session in cold? How does it matter? 👋🏻🇫🇮🎅🏻

Freezing fingers are a problem, I can't find a pair of gloves that work well with the joy sticks. I have noticed the sensor issue on snowy trails like the one depicted in your video. I simply don't fly in conditions with any moisture at all, I just had an issue with my s21 usb port due to a couple flakes of snow getting in there and repeating that with my drone might lead to a mental breakdown lol!

@TheDroneCreative Год назад

Freezing fingers really are the enemy! ha! So is moisture. I have found the Mini 3 Pro to be pretty resilient but as you say, a little moisture in the wrong area is never good!

@Bighell01 Год назад

In NL I bought a pair of “touchscreen/smartphone gloves” at Decathlon for a few Euro’s. Works perfectly on my phone. Haven’t tried them on the DJI RC controller yet.

I keep seeing people use the sticks to take off. Why don't you just use the takeoff button on the screen? One touch and you're away whether you're hand-launching or not. No need to hit the stick to raise the drone. It takes off and hovers automatically.
