On today’s episode of Ask Drone U, we take a question from Brady, a drone pilot working in the hot city of Las Vegas who wants to know what kind of temperatures the Phantom 4 Pro is capable of flying in. We talk about flying in hot weather and give some tips for keeping your drone cool. We also refer to our Flying Over Water Course, which provides students everything they need to know about protecting their drone equipment during the hot summer months. Thanks Brady! Fly safe!
