New Toy and Heat wave.

My new Mavic Air 2 drone arrived just before noon today.
So most of my day has been taken up with battery charging, and firmware
updates. I managed to get out for a maiden flight around 14:00 hrs with
the temperature hovering at 104F (40C). Needless to say the heat drove
me to shorten everything, and the one 4K 30fps 4 minute video I shot was
OK until the midpoint when there was what looked like a ripple running
through the playback. It looked like an imbedded heatwave.
Then I discovered that each of my 3 batteries had to have the battery
firmware updated to match the drone system FW.
Now I am waiting for things to cool down so I can get out for a sunset
flight a little longer than my first excursion in the heat.
Only 104? What's the problem.
