When looking from here Finland UK doesn't get that much cold weather, but if any of you is struggling to keep fingers warm there's one trick helping in that:
Having some keychain stylus attached to some loop around your neck or remote controller's neck strap.
That way you can't drop it and it's easy to access with gloves, unlike stylus kept in pocket.
And you can use DJI Go accurately with thicker gloves instead of needing to take glove off for "quick freezing" or freeze fingers over time using thinner gloves.
In case of Mavic Pro PGYtech's accessory kit is really handy.
Got it myself for -50% from Black Friday-Cyber Monday sales before even having yet bought drone.
Landing gear extensions work nicely with thinner snow on hard surface and those can be kept while carrying Mavic in DJI's should bag.
While langing pad can take care of thicker snow, grass, sand etc...
And that RC's neck straps also allows attacing such stylus.
Finally managed to get hold of a Mavic Pro Platinum, my first ever drone. Have to say it’s an excellent, portable drone/app package.
Video below 3rd flight with it in normal mode, starting to gain a little confidence. I was amazed with the drone keeping position and stable cam despite the strong wind gusts.
Objective is to continue practice to gain more confidence, learn flying and filming techniques, to be ready for Caribbean holiday in feb. Welcome any tips and constructive criticism.

For maximising reliability/safety have you done various calibrations?
Doing calibrations after firmware updates certainly isn't bad thing.
While IMUs and compass are calibrated from DJI Go Visual Protection System is calibrated with Mavic connected to PC using DJI Assistant.
And like said in many Youtube guides doing compass calibration when going to some farther away place is always good.
Also in DJI Go you can add battery cell voltage to show in addition to percentage.
In freezing temperatures wouldn't let battery voltage drop that low without being ready to land soon.
And if DJI Go starts somehow having connection issues you can use normal cable from remote's full size USB type A connector.
Myself needed separate cable anyway because Sony Z3 Compact has micro-USB port in side...
(better to have short cable to avoid risk of long cable loop getting caught)
If wanting to do very close range fly around smaller objects Tripod mode limits maneuvering/speed to low making also video very stable.
Also not sure if there's some compatibility problem with Kingston's USH-I Class 10 card. (32GB)
Initially got some images/videos taken but then it started giving card errors and declining to take new photos.
In PC card works perfectly and have transferred it nearly full of data doing checksum comparison for error checking.
Have to try if formatting card to exFAT helps.
Then again who knows if Kingston keeps changing components from batch to another and they're not always that good.
