WKM cold weather performance?

[snurre]

Surely this subject has been covered in some thread. But I could not find it upon a forum search. So...

DJI WKM user manual specs state -5 to +60 degrees Celcius.

So what is your experiences from operating the WKM in cold weather? Colder than -5C. Like -10, -15, -20 degree C?

For sure, the IMU must be given time to stabilize at outside temperature, but when that is done - does it work fine or does it act up?

No problems at all related with the wkm in extreme cold. Batterys, that's the hard part, keep them warm until you plug in. WKM must be climatized prior to flight.

Last year, or maybe it was early this year, we had a guy posting flying his f450 up close to the north pole.
Just keep in mind things do get fragile in cold weather, especially props!

I flow seven flights at approx -15 deg C. Gave it at least 15 min to adapt to outside temp. Worked OK bit I think it was more prone to 3 white flashes after full speed flights in GPS mode.
