Bernie, I used the 722 in the Arctic using both CF and hard drive,
temperatures were around 0c-5c, I had no problems

Subject: [Nature Recordists] Sound Devices 722 field question
Recommended operational temperature range is 5 - 55C (41 - 141F). Has
anyone had problems operating in HD mode at or below the 5C (41F)
thermal limit? If so, what about using the 722 in CF mode, only?
