Nope on both counts. However, an increase in wind speed likely caused the drone to drift for a while.
Regardless, it seems DJI has a firmware bug that needs fixing.
Seems like 'firmware bugs' are becoming a little too frequent of late... a bit like DJI dropping the ball to AUTEL levels... the picture quality on the Air 3S being a case in point.
Mechanical and firmware aside. I use Airdata UAV to check flying conditions; I'm sure many here already do. Follow the app's advice.
My personal recommendation for larger DJI drones (M3Pro), avoid flying in winds exceeding 25mph. Smaller drones...
Given the variation of wind speed with altitude, land forms, buildings, and local airmasses, and considering the difference in local speed from the forecast station, I really doubt that a 10% difference in the forecast speed has much...
Get the local stations reading, then use your judgement to fly. Bring an anemometer, they are truly cheap. Now I can only presume that the wind resistance variable is the point at which a drone will begin struggling to resist the head winds. The...
