Photo Gallery » Przywidz

Przywidz, Przywidzkie lakes and the surrounding area are one of my favorite places in Kashubia in northern Poland. The village is beautifully situated in a valley by two lakes and surrounded by beech forests. This location was appreciated already two thousand years before our era - traces of settlements from the Stone Age were found in the vicinity of Przywidz. To this day, numerous kurgan cemeteries and the remains of the early medieval stronghold have survived in the surrounding forests.

Shooting with a drone in winter

More technically advanced drones such as the DJI Mavic Pro can fly and photograph in sub-zero temperatures. Their operating temperature range is from -10 to 40 Celsius degrees. Cheaper drones, e.g. DJI Air or DJI Air 2, are not designed to fly in sub-zero temperatures. The manufacturer states that the operating temperature range of these drones is from 0 to 40 Celsius degrees (32 to 104 F). If you want to fly on a frosty day, you do it at your own risk. But to be honest, the only problem I noticed when flying DJI Air in winter at minus 10 Celsius degrees is the speed of battery discharge. In addition, it is very important that the batteries are warm before take-off. It is worth keeping them in the inner pocket and inserting them into the drone just before turning it on and taking off.

Ice on the lakes

There is a specific microclimate in the vicinity of Przywidz. In winter it is always a few degrees lower than in Gdańsk or Gdynia.
