Alexa’s in very cold areas

[Fred Jodry]

Any polluted snow dust will eat (damage) the optical coatings off your outside- most lens surface immediately, so a lens window or conditions of no such problem are needed. Any grease in moving parts will stop moving, so choose dry moving parts. You`ll be putting your battery belts and canteen (hot or cold) inside of your coat. If you fog your lens with your breath don`t dream of wiping it off. And last, this snow shoveller`s wisdom, don`t open your zipper all the way or you can`t get it closed, don`t close your zipper all the way or you can`t get it open. That`s all. Fred Jodry, the one who knows. Happy new year!

We just shot 3 days in freezing cold Quebec City at -30c by night and everything went A1. Even at the end of the russian arm while driving it holded up.
