7+ TIPS For Flying The DJI Mavic Air 2 in EXTREME COLD [Real World Flight Testing!]

Says to never fly in snow, then shows footage of him flying in snow. 😃

Hey Carson miller can you use the gimble protector while flying? Can’t find anything about it

Carson, Was out in fairly heavy snow last week covering a snowmobile radar run. 1st time in that much snow. all going fairly good till flying at 20 ft altitude on controller but actually ran into spectators at about 5 feet. luckily I knew the guy and he had a helmet on. Bad mistake on my part. will the snow fool my altitude like that? Don't want this to happen again.

Yo wassup Carson. Do you have Instagram?

YOU'RE SO CUTE

I wish it would go as high as 5,000 meters or 16,400 feet. I know it was just a mistake and I had to poke fun of you. As you know, it's 500 meters or 1,640 feet. My Autel X Star Premium would only go 800 meters or 2,640 feet AGL and that's 1/2 mile up. Truth be told, there aren't many places where one can fly at those altitudes AGL legally, that is unless you're flying it within 400 feet of a structure or natural land mass such as a mountain. That being said, you'd have to be flying within 400 feet of either a building or land mass with height of 2,240' for the X Star Premium, or 1,240' for the Mavic Air 2 to legally be able to fly at at their respective maximum altitudes.

Is there any way to turn off the default charging with the controller while using an Android phone. Here in the south during the warmer seasons, this causes the phone to over heat and the screen to dim, making it hard to see the screen.

Thank you, Great tips/suggestions - I love flying my MA2 in a light snowfall... and other times too!

Thanks, Carson! No winter flying for me. I get too cold!! Lol

Prices

flying in snowfall is no problem at all with cold. If its cold, snow doesnt melt on your drone. iv done it many many times already, no problems.

My WiFi at home has a limited distance I can go til I lose signal. How does wifi work with drones. You can go way over a mile and not lose signal. How does gps work in drones. Does all drones have gps ???

Great video Carson

God gave me 2 landing pads, sometimes i call them hands 🙌 😉😂

Don’t fly when it’s snowing. Then flies when it’s snowing.

Being a military aviator, one of the first things that you learn is NOT to fly in visible moisture at temperatures below 4ºC/39º F. Our drones are no different. Icing on the props will definitely impact performance, and icing on the rest of the aircraft - to include the sensor - will add weight, drag and may cause damage. Great video, Carson! BUT... you told us that flying in falling snow is a no-no... but then your footage of Indy shows that you were flying in snow! :)

Another really good video. I wish you would do them more often. Only negative comment is I don’t personally like the blurd background when text is on the screen.

Niiice good video man very good idea it snowed here in Canada ill take some tips from you as well befor it melts away

Hi mate , any chance of a video about Unifi usg ip configuration, u did a vid awhile ago but didn’t explain how you sorted the IP address problem,, thanks man and keep up the great vids

Hot hands can get as hot as 135° which exceeds the temperature usage range for lipos. I would keep those away from the batteries.

What gloves do you have? I need ones that will keep my hands warm but also be able to use my phone

To take off from the snow (or mud, or grass), I use a wide plastic bag to place all my accessories, and after assembling and feeding everything, launch my Air 2 from hand, holding above my head, using the auto-take-off feature (because only one hand is available).
Bonus tip: Don't hold your drone with props spinning against your face. Take care! :)
I flew at the temperatures down to -10 C (how is it in F?) and got excellent movies.
Please advice me, is it only my drone, where the radar feature disappeared?

Carson, I live in the Northeast and I rather wait for everything to thaw out but if someone enjoys flying in the cold, go for it. Thanks for the best of the "flying in the cold" YT videos I've seen. PS love my Sweater & Tee-shirt, HFTA

bro there is a magic in your outro that makes you channel the best channel between all the channels i know
edit: im just trying to get a loved comment imao but this music fits perfectly in your outro

Carson dude, you're
a day late with this video 😂

I flew my Air 2 yesterday and it kinda just fell out of the sky. Now my question is. It was in freezing temps, but I had it hovering for a hyperlapse. Does that have more of an effect on the drone as compared to when you're flying it around?

Tip #8 Get a cellphone that is pretty new so the battery lasts in cold weather. Mine died while I was testing my drone in - 15C even though it was charging with the controller. You can see the video on my channel ;)

Wow what a cool video 👍

Bro I also have Mavic Air 2 but my drone is always saying that "battery installation error 360068" do you have any idea to resolve it?

Great tips for flying outdoors in cold weather. You have to be careful, most of the time I avoid all risk by staying inside on cold days. Great video.

I've been to every Dollar General in town and not a single pack of Hot Hands to be found.

If I don't warm up the drone and the batteries when it is 0C (32F) or lower outside, the mavic air 2 gets stuck during boot (internal cooling fan on full blast but nothing happens). Anyone else experience this?

Hello. Thanks for your video. One question 😀. What kind of gloves 🧤 do you have cause you can touch your screen easily 😀😀

I don’t know why I’m watching this: I live in Arizona where it’s like 75 outside

Carson, great video. I’ve shot pro photography for a couple of decades and many of those tips are for your camera equipment in the cold also. It’s important to let the camera on the drone acclimate to the outside before flying! BTW, what remote mic setup are you using? It sounds great!

That's a great drone mate👊.

Do you always have your video set to 4K zoom? If so is there a reason is it the best setting

What is the blue colour inside the battery compartment?

Nice video

Thanks. I use a sheet of that corrugated plastic board used for signage to use as a launch pad. Light, sizable and waterproof which is great for snow. Still too cold for flying where I am... -20°C.

very good video buddy :D

Great tips. Thank you for the knowledge

Beautiful downtown Indy! I have an access card for the state parking garages and plan to takeoff from those when it warms up.

Good job but we are not too cold here, anyway thanks

Im a big fan of you bro.its my plesure if you can visit my cannel also in may Mavic air2 slow motion video.please bro.i want to hear your comment also
