What is the coldest temp you have ever flew your drone?I would think that really cold temps could make a drone brittle with just a little bump could cause damage.

Yesterday...10 degrees F
 
19F degrees... Below that I'm just too cold to stand outside for long periods of time. I agree with the concern of plastic becoming brittle. While I've not had that issue with any of my drones, I've seen it with my R/C cars. Cold weather, a minor bump into an object and an arm breaks. Something that wouldn't have happened in warmer temps...
 
I was out today in -23C taking video of the beautiful Canadian snow. I keep the batteries inside my jacket and only do short (around 5 minute) flights as I'm worried that it may get too cold. Haven't had a problem so far on multiple days below -15C in the last week. Battery is still over half full when I bring it back in, and the biggest issue is keeping myself warm :-).

I was flying in -29C (-20.2F) the other day here in Sweden without issues. Batteries warmed up though.
