DJI recommends not flying in winds greater than 22 MPH. The wind gusts are 30 MPH here todayI've heard this "too windy" think before and I have to say, I don't know that that means.. What wind speed is too windy for the P4?
No.And do you use an anemometer?
Guess I'm a rebel.. I don't know how bad the wind was blown off the coast of Sydney but I'm willing to bet the gusts were above 30 with sustained winds of at least 20 to 25. My P3 performed flawlessly. Scared the crap out of me but I was on the other side of the world, had traveled about an hour to get to this spot and it was just too dang beautiful not to.DJI recommends not flying in winds greater than 22 MPH.

No.
Broke out the Blade Nano...
Flying without GPS is kind of fun.. and frustrating... but also fun...
What are you flying while waiting for the Mavic?
I've actually had GPS errors happen twice on my P3. The bird started to fly away in a direction I didn't want it to go. I calmly set it to ATTI mode and flew it back and landed. GPS came back on in both instances without any interaction from me and I continued to fly after. About the worst thing you can do is panic. Just keep your head straight.you should fly without gps as much as you can so when your gps goes out u know what to do...luckily when i get my mavic it's my first ever drone with gps...my piloting skills are pretty solid without it

About 2:40 in is where the video of the cliffs start. Again, I didn't have an anemometer so I'm guessing at the wind speed.
Syma X5C-1. It's my only quad at the moment, and I've just bought new props to go with the new motors, and 5 higher-capacity, higher-discharge batteries, arriving Friday.
The only reason I bought the Mavic instead of a P3S was the size- I just like flying for fun, but also happen to like photography and have nothing better than a cell phone camera.

I have a Parrot Rolling Spider that has been fun crashing into walls and trees and stuff. Sturdy little thing.
