Thanks David, so long as snow isnt melting onto the drone its fine, if some does then I always dry the drone and controller off with a soft cloth immediately after

I usually just tilt the camera down 45 degrees or a tad more when flying in snowfall. Flying backwards everywhere just gets awkward. If i get any snow on the filter... Usually flying in sport tends to just blow it off. Never had an issue.. Anyways, Loved the video,Jake. Cheers.

Hello Jake and greetings from Colombia. I living at Berlín Paramo (higth mountain 10.000 ft or 3200 m). This place is cooler, but the principal problem is the air density and the low pression. Your videos are very fantastics and useful. Thanks.

Solid tip and reminders! I haven't tried this, but heard that wiping WD-40 on the props will keep ice from forming - anyone here tried that yet?

that will help some but I only really see it necessary if you are flying in temps that are right at freezing and it's raining or snowing

This is crucial information!! Mahalo NUI(Thank you BIG) for sharing this, sir. I’ll definitely remember these tips for next time. I was not able to fly the last time I was in Anchorage. I mean it was -21° would that have been too cold? I did not want to risk it. By the way, there are times where I do reference some of your older videos to help me.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Acclimating the drone temperature is a top tip. QUESTION: The arms on Mavic 3/Cine/Classic are aluminum or an alloy. Has that effected it's cold temp & precipitation handling in any observable way? I had to figure out what that insane enclosed ATV was. At first I thought: Sherp? Nope. I found it. FatTruck is a beast!

@JakeSloan

FatTrucks are beasts! I haven't seen any difference on handling at all so far in the cold

hi Jake, hello from Budapest, Hungary :) I am so glad and happy that I found your video, now I feel much more confident to fly my drone... I do not plan to fly during snow fall but one thing remained in my mind... what about the possible freeze/ice generated on the props? Sometimes I heard that based on the fact that props are circulating the air around it will be colder and there might be possible tiny ice on the edge of the props which may influence the flying attitude (not altitude :D ) Many thanks for your kind answer in advance and it was a pleasure to see those beautiful please in Alaska so so far away from me, here in the heart of Europe :) Cheers, Edward

it is possible and always something to watch for. keep your flights short and close and frequently check for ice build up.
