Nws indicated 15 mph wind, actual wind speed must have been greater than 20 mph. Mavic was floating backwards even with full stick forward in p mode. Had to switch to sport mode to compensate. You can see the roofing material swaying in the wind.

The video quality is still fantastic, even with my poor pilot and photography skills.

Edit to add that my fingers were freezing! It was about 20 degrees F

 
Awesome video what camera settings did you use? And did you have a ND filter on?
 
Great subject - I would have bust our a couple of boards at the back just to fly through - what a super vid - kudos bro

I was tempted to fly inside but there were three reasons I did not:

My fingers were freezing (bad dexterity)

I did not ask permission to go inside.

It was super windy making flying in tight spaces too dangerous.

I did knock on the door and ask if I could take pictures of the barn with my flying camera. The guy was pretty skeptical that I could get usable images in this sort of wind.
