Video: Incredible footage taken by a DJI Mavic 3 drone over Mount Everest

Besides operating in thin air, or a density that is 1/4 of that at sea level, as one commenter pointed out, the Mavic 3 also performed in temperatures that were well below the standard of -10º C. As the user manual points out, the 5000mAH LiPo Intelligent Flight batteries do not meet 'the standard operating temperature for military grade application (-55° to 125° C), which is required to endure greater environmental variability.' One has to wonder if DJI created special batteries for this mission. This is quite an impressive feat for a consumer-grade drone that starts at a little over $2,000 USD.
