Fly in snow at your own risk, as well as temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius. It's silly. I do it because I like to test these things out for you and I've flown drones in so many different conditions I'm pretty aware of their limits. Be careful, be considerate.
This was filmed in the Swiss Alps, and yes, the first part was in a snow storm, the second part was when the snow storm gave me a little rest.
Flying a drone in the snow can be dangerous, please be aware of your surroundings and your aircraft.
If you have any questions at all about the DJI Mini 2 - in some serious SNOW, post them below in the comments and I'll make sure I get back to you.

Thanks Russ 🤜🏻🤛🏻
@@PhillipSkraba I purchased a DJI Mavic Air 2 over the holidays and its opened a whole new photographic realm, it’s like having a camera with wings...I have had a Nikon P1000 super zoom 125X which is a blast to use, but the Drone is even more fun. I posted one video on my CZcams channel but I have some much better footage coming. I do like your cold hands snow video though. Thank you from Coos Bay Oregon USA. here’s the link czcams.com/video/IHi4XaHhCt8/video.html
This had me laughing a few seconds in with that poor mini sliding off the car 🤣, then you dropped her in the snow🤣. What a little trooper the Mini 2 is, absolutely brilliant footage 👍
haha, the car hood was funny! The drop was because my fingers were so frozen I actually couldn't feel it 😂 Yes, the Mini 2 is a super trooper!
Fantastic shots, Phillip. Thanks for taking the time to make this video and testing the limits of this awesome little drone for us. I got my mini 2 for Christmas and then fractured my toe 3 days later. I've been watching your videos and flying vicariously through you while I'm on the mend. Keep up the great work.
Thank You! Oh gosh, your toe!!? Dane, fly that thing out of your window! I'll try to drop a few more videos for you in that case!
I just love your creative perspective. You really know the shots you are going for and execute beautifully.
Thank You Jonny, just me having fun, an outlet for my creative side.
That was beautiful footage from the moment you took off bloody amazing
Thank You Adam! It filmed itself really, stunning out here!
Absolutely stunning footage Phillip! I hear from everyone how lucky I am to have the Gulf Coast of Florida as a backdrop for drone footage but I can't help but be jealous of the winter wonderland you get to play in. Love your content. Keep it coming. Cheers.
Thank You! You are lucky!! The grass is always greener, you know that 👌🏻
I really love the snow.
Thank you for sharing that with us.
All the best from Scotland for 2021.
Thanks
You’re welcome! I’ll make it over there one day! All the best from Poland!
Made the same experience. Was flying the last weeks a lot in snow and snowfall. Worked pretty good and stable. Great vid 👍
Thank You, yes it works pretty well in the snow!
WOW, this is creative content and something that I was curious myself. Brave of you to take it in the snow!
Thank You! I’ve had drones in the snow quite a few times, it’s okay, they handle it pretty well.
A 12 hour drive for 6 minutes of video. That's commitment :-)
Actually, we're still here today, and the weather was a lot colder and the snow was a lot worse, so we had a ton of fun!!
@@PhillipSkraba Määän u just risked 600bux 8-O I'll go 3000meters next week :-) dude it looked like u hurted yaself by catching the drone, i did. Since then just flat hand under the drone and push down for 3 sec. greetings from Zurich.
@@peacemaker4real I was so close to Zurich yesterday, at home in Poland now. Ahh it's worth the risk! Oh yeah, haha, I thought no one would notice, cut my F U finger, not bad, just a graze, not my first time. Always forget I can pull down, especially when my brain is frozen 🥶
@@PhillipSkraba yeah when i get too much exited i pull wrong handles too, just fullstop and take a breath :-) i had too much luck, will upload crashcomp soon,,,allready got like 4.. X-)
@@peacemaker4real Damn, 4 is a lot already! I know, sometimes when flying a drone your bearings can get totally messed up.
Amazing little bit of kit.
It's a fighter 🔥
LOVE the sound tracks and the sceneries!!!!!
Thank You!
I hope your drone didn't get the sniffles! Good job Mini 2!
Flown it a few times since, seems to be healthy 👌🏻
I've flown the Mini 1 over a lake at -12 deg C and with wind gusts above 22mph. It withstood the harsh situation very well. The stability was impressive. Watching your video gave me more confidence in the device, both the Mini 1 and 2. Great footage though.
Those are pretty strong winds for the Mini 1, I've had her in similar winds and I'm also extremely impressed with how stable it is! Thank You!
Well done! Thank you for experimenting with your Mini 2 for all our benefit.
You're welcome, it was worth it!
Oh myy goodness. What epic videos/scenery and with the right music too. Love how you went back into it. Love the music!!💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I took the battery out the other day and had a look at the internals. Such a simple looking setup for a tiny machine that can do amazing things. Good to know it can handle a bit of moisture whilst out and about. Still amazed at how good the Mini2 really is!
Yes, I think the fact that it has almost nothing inside helps with its resistance to weather. I love it, does a great job!
Only thing no collision avoidance sensors
Never use those anyway 😂
Haha! Agreed. We shouldn't trust our drones to fly for us. Fly yourself and find new fun ways to capture great footage. Your confidence with grow with your skills!
I've tried flying at -20 degrees🥶. Everything is fine👌 .
Good to know! Mine is well too 👌🏻
oh man thats good to know. I need to fly mine tommorow for a shoot and it's -10F out here.
Make sure you keep the batteries warm before take off.
@@bryans8653 Fine. But you should know that battery must be warm (not frozen) before flight🙂.
@@1980litun for sure, I keep mine inside the 1st layer of my coats inside pocket, keeps them toasty even in -20 C temps.
i love this! its definitely winter wonderland.
Thank You, yes it is Nicole! Stunning here!
Your right Phillip... Took the Dji mini 2 today. First drone ever and this thing is easy to fly. Now it's learning how to take great pics and videos. Thanks
Yes, it’s so simple to fly, so smooth, love it!
Amazing how that little guy withstood that snow!
It had no problem with it at all.
@@PhillipSkraba I'm curious - are you still using this and is it still running well - even after using it in the snow?
@@Relic5150 Sure, even after crashing it and breaking off the rear arm, superglueing it back, it works like a charm. I was back in the snowstorm two days ago filming a new one for the Mini 2 and Air 2S.
@@PhillipSkraba you're getting a sub not just for the sick footage but your quick and stellar feedback, and connection with your community.
@@Relic5150 Welcome to the channel Ryan! I'm glad you like the footage, more coming, and not just drones, but I'll mix it up pretty soon! Thanks for the support!
Excellent Phillip. I wondered if anyone would be daft enough to try this 😂😂 also wondered how water resistant the mini 2 would be.....time will tell. Thanks for your courage! 😁
I’ve had it out in light rain and snow a few times, seems to hold up fine as long as you dry it well. Thanks Eugene!
@@PhillipSkraba Now that it's a year later, have any of your drones "died mysteriously"? :-P
Incredibly breathtaking cinematography. Wow. Thanks Phillip!
Thank You!
Big thx for this video! It's the greatest und most stunning winter footage what I seen this winter!
Thank you Malte!
Whoa...I was just wandering this as it was snowing today in MN, U.S. mine fell in the snow and acted strange until it dried out - very surprised it could get that wet in your video...how did you dry it and anything weird happen afterwards? Thanks, love the footage!
Thank You! Yes, you need to dry it off, I use the windscreen heater, works everytime!
Mate....you've made me love my Mini2 even more now...
I'm gonna have to trust her more! What a little beast!!
Amazing shots and thanks for the entertaining video!
Trust her, have fun with her, listen to her, especially her warnings and be careful! Thank You!
just don't trust in her more than you trust in dji care
DJI Care is a fantastic service I’ve personally used a few times, it’s saved me a ton of money and hassle. I trust my Mini 2, I’ve had it in some situations you wouldn’t believe.
Trust her, take her out to eat once a week, make love to her, don’t cheat on her.
Using the tree line at 03:29 to reveal the town in the background was movie magic!! Simple, but breathtaking, nice work on this video! Makes me trust my newly acquired Mini 2 even more.
Thank You Erick!! I'd be careful, but sure you can trust it more than most people say.
WOW! Spectacular video above the trees. Have watched this several times now.
Thank You Chuck, working on a second one ❄️
Stunning shots as always!
You're using ND8 in such cloudy conditions as I see. I guess it would be like ND16 to ND32 if there were the sun, right?
Would ND8+PL work also good in your conditions?
Thank You! Yes, I had ND8 and ND16 on most of these shots. ND32 if the sun is out, sometimes ND64 if it's a tropical country. I used the hybrids when the sky was blue just to pop it a little.
I've flown mine in - 20 celsius without any issues, even the flight time seems to be largely unaffected.
Exactly! So many people are afraid of that, good to see you've tried is Simon!
Same here, tested it today @ -15-17 celsius , works great
A little stressful but fun 🔥
I flew in - 4 celsius but quite humid air, and after 10 minutes of flying i had "Motor overheating" warning or something. When i eventually got the drone back safe, the motors were super toasty, and the props were covered in ice (it had built on like a "long icetap" in the direction of spinning). That was a scare, but a good lesson! :)
Me flight was 15 min, when was - 20 celsius.
Thanks for the video Philip! I got a dji mini 2 for Christmas, and it is very cold where I live. I use gloves when I fly, and instead of tapping the screen to take off, I find it much easier to pull in the 2 sticks to start the motors and go from there. Never had the guts to fly in the snow though!
You're welcome Brock! I keep on forgetting about those damn take off sticks 😂 Thanks!
Big blizzard hitting my small town in midwest US tonight. I work midnights as a nurse and keep looking outside seeing the snowfall and can't WAIT to get some cool shots with my mini 2 tomorrow as the sun comes up with I get off work. Thanks for the video to keep hold me over til then, amazing stuff as always!
That sounds like it's going to be awesome! Snow, daytime and sun hitting it, love it! Keep your batteries nice and warm before take off and you'll be fine. Have fun!!
@@PhillipSkraba got them here at work with me (inside) 👍 hoping my shift relief gets here on time so I can snag those golden hour shots! At least where I live people have the habit of pretending they "had no clue it was gonna snow" as an excuse to be super late for work. Fingers crossed!
Have fun and be safe!!
I was just wondering how mavic mini 2 does in weather like that. Don’t know if I would fly while it is snowing. So glad you did it.
Yes, seems to do fine, today we really made it work hard in the storm.
I did it as well and this is what ended up happening... czcams.com/video/q6a4Ep3by8o/video.html
Your videos convinced me. I pulled the trigger and picked up my mini2 today. I’ll remember NOT to flick my sticks and no pinching. Lol.
Any post flying maintenance after flying in heavy snow?
Oh yes, right on the windscreen heater with the controller for a while!
I’d have used an hairdryer as soon as possible to avoid problems in the future. I’d have concerns about corrosion. But the footage is amazing, thanks for flying under these circumstances 😉
Corrosion would be if you get salt water on it, snow is fine. A hairdryer would be a little too hot, also in a car in the Alps hard to find, so the windscreen heater works perfectly. I'm honest not really that bothered about it, I'm more about the shot, I want that shot, that's my mission, and I hope the tech lets me. This time it did, thanks to this crazy little drone!
i flew mine in snow recently and it was dry when it landed. I was very impressed
Yep, handles it pretty well.
Glad to see I'm not the only one flying my drones in the snow haha...Great video !
You and me both! I love flying them in the snow!
Oh wait, it's you! Okay, anyone who reads this go and watch Denis's video's, he flies like a dream!
@@PhillipSkraba thanks my man! Appreciate that. When everything opens again, if you come to Italy and wanna do some flying hit me up ;)
@@DenisBarbas Sure thing, we have that planned! Never been to Italy so once the coast is clear we're driving down there!
@@PhillipSkraba happy to hear that! 🙌🏼🤘🏼I can't wait to go places again...we're in lockdown for almost 3 months now...my drone is depressed even more than I am ...😅
Very nice Vid! I like most gadgets but the Mini 2 is hands down my favorite, and seeing your videos makes me want to get out there even more! Thanks
Thank You! Get out there, don't make excuses, go fly!
I found out recently that my Mini 2 didn't like flying in freezing fog, only had it up for a minute or two before getting a motor error, brought it back in and the rotors had a fair amount of ice in them!
Better he lose his drone than is, right? Lol
I’m sure Philip knows the risk factor. Simply amazing footage.
Oh yeah, it gets all frozen up there, I just roll with it, if it acts funny I bring it down and give it a shake.
I’m pretty aware of the risks, not always 100% sure she’ll make it back to me, but worth the risk sometimes like today 🔥
Mike, that’s exactly what happened to me with the warning in freezing fog, then after 10mins it dropped (but wasn’t very high, its all good now!).
Shweet video again Philip!
Thanks guys! Yes, if you get a warning don’t ignore it 🔥
Beautiful cinematography.
Thank You!
Absolutely stunning footage. Must be amazing to live in a place like that
Thank You! It’s all quite secluded, high up and hard to reach, it looks stunning though.
I was about to do this on my mini 1 today, saves me the trouble!
I think I did it about 20 times in the last 3 days ❄️
Stunning! Truly stunning.
Thank You!
I love the hard cuts in the music. Don't know why but makes me giggle every time.
Giggle away 👌🏻
What a great footage!
I bought this little girl two weeks ago and she is more stable than I think.I will train for it now and go around the world after corona.
Thank You! You take good care of her, she's a keeper!
Now, that's a serious bit of film. Beautiful! And well done on having the guts to do it. You're a braver man than me but what an excellent demonstration of low temp. flying. Thanks a lot. Mike
Thank You Mike! I'm actually working on a tips of flying in minus temperatures right now.
Wow!! Fantastic snow views!
I haven't seen anything like it in a long time. Thank you very much!
You're welcome! It was a lot of fun!
Your videos are always so beautiful. You make it look so easy. I hope to create videos this good some day!
Thank You! It’s easy, slow, smooth motion.
Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for your video.
Thank You! You're welcome.
This is a great video - informative, quirky with some great cinematic shots. I love that colour grading
Thank You Keith!!
Love it! thanks for sharing.
You're welcome, thank you!
Great job, thanks
Thank You!
very nice. it seems to handle the icing well.
It didn't seem to mind the icing at all 🥶
Stunning and inspiring footage as always Philip! Soundtrack perfect too 👌 Thanks for sharing!
Thank You Gareth!
BEAUTIFUL Shots!
Thank You!
Another impressive video, Phillip. Great job. It’s amazing how harsh winter is when at ground level, but from a drone’s eye view, things appear so calm and peaceful. Ok, I am convinced now that filters are a necessity. I live in a climate that has four seasons one different from the other. Have you ever made a video to teach how to most effectively use all of the filters? Would love to know. Just subscribed to you so thanks for all the education and tips/tricks. Super appreciate all you do.
Simply Stunning footage. Thank you for sharing. Really enjoyed it
Thank You and you’re welcome!
My comment is this Philip, I think you are an excellent drone pilot and film maker. But most of all you are a great teacher! You make me want to go out and get a Dji mini 2 right now, even though I don’t have the confidence that I won’t just crash and burn it. ha ha Thank you and greetings from Minnesota USA👍🏼☮️
Thank You! Well, sometimes crashing is an excellent way to learn, I've been there a few times and it definitely made me more aware! All the best from Poland!
Some amazing shots on this video mate, loving your work
Thank You!
Very nice snowy footage!!
Thank You!
this is incredibly beautiful
Thank You!
it's like that amazing breath taking moive " the Gray " 🔥
Thank You!
Beautiful landscapes and nice video, made my morning a little better 😊
Thank You! I’m happy I could put a smile on your face 👌🏻
Simply amazing Phillip. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
Thank You Chip!
Dope Footage!! Love da cinematic look....Nice Color grade!
Thank You, did my best 🔥
The pine trees look gnarly covered in snow! Great video!
They look stunning in the snow!
Love this! Greetings from Germany!!!
Thank You! All the best from Poland!
What a capable drone. Great footage and music... good job
Yes it is! Thank You!

Thank You
Awesome videos. I have made a few videos with my DJI mini 2 in high wind, snow, and extreme cold. It amazes me each time
Thank You! Yes, it's absolutely incredible, such a valuable tool!
Your video is absolutely beautiful. Literally looks Like something from a movie!
Thank You Andrew!
Really great video. This thing is a little beast - so happy I got one.
Thank You! Yes, it really is!
That landscape is just wow! Wish i was this good :)
The landscape is stunning, and you are that good!

Another great video. Thanks man
Thank You!
Amazing video and also the music is perfectly tailored for the footage. Great job 👏🏼
Thank You 🔥
Stunning!
Thank You!
Absolutely outstanding video footage in the snow :-) Very impressed at what that little drone can handle and especially the quality of the video. Great job Philip!
Thank You! Yes, this little guy can handle a hell of a lot!
simply AURSUM, and I shall be viewing that a lot. I THANK YOU!!!!!!
You’re welcome!
Great filming, great editing!!!!
Thank You!
Uouuuu!!! I love DJI mini 2. What a fantastic dron!!!
I totally agree with you!
I bought my Mini 2, among other reasons, thanks to these types of videos. Greetings from Granada, Spain 👋
Hey brother I'm a beginner I just bought the mini a week ago. Flew it maybe 5 time now first drone man very excited more like stoked. I've been watching your CZcams channel and it gave me a lot confidence but still gotta practice a lot more. I got the up n down move pretty good as well as the forwards n backwards move.
But that circle together with the spin man that's crazy. Your videos is helping me a lot thax man
From Honolulu Hi. ALOHA
Honolulu!! Damn it must be beautiful out there!! Keep on spinning, you'll get it, no doubt the most fun move ever!
Beautiful footage !!!
Thank You!
Amazing footage! I just started flying mine a couple days ago (my first ever drone.) I’m still working on dialing in the settings for footage I’m really happy with, but I’m hoping to be ready for my upcoming trip.
Thanks for the great videos and tips you share!
Thank You! I did a video on Cinematic shots, I showed all my settings for the Mini 2 in that film if you need any details on that. All the best, be careful!
nice indeed.tx
Thank You!
Thank you for this great video. 🙂
You're welcome!
As a new drone user/owner...it is nice to see that you are able to explore and have some fun in “less than ideal conditions “. The Mini 2 performed quite nicely! By the way..beautiful country vistas! And...I am way too familiar with the frozen fingers! 🇨🇦 Great share...thank you.
Yes, it's a lot of fun taking it out of its comfort zone! Oh totally frozen fingers!
Nicely done!
Thank You!
Stunning footage Phillip! You’ve got to admire the mini 2, the lockdown is stopping me flying mine, can’t wait to get it in the air!
Thank You! Yes, it's an incredible drone!
Well done.Congrats !!!!!
Thank You!
That’s so awesome
I’m
Getting mine today and very excited … will take some time to get to this level of flying but looking forward to it.
Have fun out there!
Nice video! Just bought one of these my self! And will try it out tomorrow here in the snowy Norway :)
That will be beautiful! Have fun ❄️
Oh my God, dude,that's just beautiful. Amazing footage. Im jealous.
Thank You! No need to be jealous, get out there and film some too 🥶
Great video - great impressions with great music
Thank You!
I am going to try this year!!!!
Go for it!
Risky footage but worth it!!! Congrats for the beautiful scenes!!
Thank You!
Intresting to see someone who tries the limits of technologies .BRAVO
Thank You! Love pushing it 🔥
great mini 2 video good job
Thank You!
Que hermosura de lugar
It's beautiful out there, that's true!
Great shots !
Thank You!
Amazing!
Thank You!
Impressive. The mini 2 and YOU.🥶
