hahahaha this thread made my night! cheers gents, Ive been through Calgary quite a few times and in fact I spend my first 2 years of school just north of there!
I did! both times it was just long enough to film what was needed for a TV show up in the area and then onto the next spot. Fantastic place I'd love to come spend a few days exploring
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.
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.
Thanks Jake! Another great, informative video. Any thoughts or advice regarding flying while it's snowing and any effect or harm to the drone? Your stuff always looks fantastic, thanks for sharing!
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
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!
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
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.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Fantastic Tips! Just got my drone this summer, DJI 3. Im to new to even think of hand launch and release, I’m definitely going practice that today 👍 got land pads for summer but i need diverse techniques and pointers such as this video for winter especially
So in short from my understanding. Flying in the cold is just keeping the batteries warm. Flying in the snow is this video. So I should be alright to fly in sunny 11F temps.
Quick question - the problem with my dji mini 3 pro is that, a layer of super thin yet heavy ice starts forming around each of the propellers making it a bit heavier and difficult to fly and I get a warning of motor overload. Please help.
I have a question about my air question my air 3 when downloading footage I powered up I accidentally forgot about the gimble guard and it was still on at power up. When I realized it Immediately i took it off. I checked stabilization and it still worked. My question is did I ruin the the gimble by forgetting that one time?
@JakeSloan I have a another question, I flew it at nite didn't know obstacle avoidness sensors don't work then. My battery was 30%. :all of sudden without no low battery warning it tried to come home and in doing so so it crashed. Why didn't low battery warning sound? Any ideas? Thanks?
I mean how to load the camera to the phone. I just bought this drone is the first one. I can't figure out how the instructions I wish I could email it to you.
I’ve been flying drones now for several years and the “acclimating” tip is one that i never really thought of! Very cool tips!
Glad it was helpful!
I especially like the tip on flying backwards, totally makes sense! Great tips, Jake, thanks!
Thank you so much Mark!
good video and tips... being in Calgary, AB Canada... winter weather goes from November to April here... winter flying procedures are a must... 👍
November to April? You haven’t lived in Calgary long enough. 😂
@@deanfordcreative you're right... only since 1966 😁
hahahaha this thread made my night! cheers gents, Ive been through Calgary quite a few times and in fact I spend my first 2 years of school just north of there!
Awesome! Looking forward to this - thanks Jake! Great tips! No one has more snow experience than you!
Thank you!
Helpful tips! Made my first winter flight yesterday - about 40 Minutes in air with one battery - Thanks Jake!
Nice work!
@@JakeSloan Thank you, I appreciate it. 😊
Glad i watched this, i live in the mountains and got an upgrade from my mini 2 to an air 2S and want to get some video of this storm
Nice!!
Great tips thank you
you're welcome
So cinematic while snowing! 🙂
right? not planned but worked out well lol
Appreciate the tips Jake Very helpful!
thank you!
Looks like you finally made it to Marquette Michigan. Congrats.

great tips as well! I wish I had included them lol cheers
I havent been flying because there is snow! Was going to today anyway because more snow coming. Thanks for info, perfect timing.
glad to hear it and have fun!
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
Thanks for the tips, Jake. Cheers from Wisconsin where Winter Storm Olive is heading my way.
Cheers George! Been through your great state a couple times this winter and enjoyed it every time
2:10 nice to see a fellow pincher! 👊
always sir! there is no other way 😂
You are my one of favourite youtuber. Love from Nepal ❤️🇳🇵
Thank you!
Another fantastic educational video. Thanks, Jake.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Jake, Thanks for sharing. Another great video.

So glad!
Great video and amazing ❤❤

@@JakeSloan 👍❤️❤️
I'm your new sub - very good channel!

Great tips Jake
Thanks!
Hey, you didn't tell us where to get that truck! 🤣Good tips, thanks!

FatTrucks are beasts! I haven't seen any difference on handling at all so far in the cold
Jake nice B roll of Marquette! What were you doing up there or was that some b roll you found?
Thanks!! I was up there filming some pick up shots for a TV show episode I filmed in the area and over in WI
@@JakeSloan nice! Well i used to live up there and was SHOCKED to see the lower harbor in this video i stumbled upon. Keep crushing it

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

Oh Jake can you please show a video how to program a camera drone? Thanks I love you videos.
Program it to do what exactly? I have a few videos about setup and settings on specific drones if that's what you mean
8s(l)
Just to set up the camera
The procedure you got to do
I do have this video here: ruclips.net/video/Bb8FBrKo4u4/видео.html

Hi Jake....What steered you to Artlist for music ? I am trying Audiio at the moment.
I started using artlist because they were the only ones who allowed both RUclips/social Media licensing and commercial use on the same plan early on.
What kind of vehicle is that? It looks a bit like a modern version of the Volvo Puppy. 🤔
That’s a Fat truck and they are made for arctic and very off-road work
Quick question - the problem with my dji mini 3 pro is that, a layer of super thin yet heavy ice starts forming around each of the propellers making it a bit heavier and difficult to fly and I get a warning of motor overload. Please help.
I do run into that as well from time to time and unfortunately you just cannot fly then
Can you send me a DJI avata 😂😂😂😂, Looking for some more fun.
Lol
i always say if its to cold for me its to cold for my drone.
LOL thats not a bad way to go about it
I have a question about my air question my air 3 when downloading footage I powered up I accidentally forgot about the gimble guard and it was still on at power up. When I realized it Immediately i took it off. I checked stabilization and it still worked. My question is did I ruin the the gimble by forgetting that one time?
No you will be fine
@JakeSloan thank you I was worried

OOohhhhh I'll see if I can do a video on that
@@JakeSloan if you can it be much appreciated thank you!!
So the motors wont take damage from snow?
no but you will need to be careful to no get snow inside the drone body
You definitely don't want snow inside your usb c ports, it melts and can short the circuitry inside your devices, just cost me 1100 dollars.
agreed!
Tip #1 - Stay in Car
lol TRUTH
