I have a Mavic Platinum pro. I was not worried about the wind on O'ahu as it was negligible. While on the Big Island there were some serious 25-35 MPH winds which concerned me some. I used "sport mode" on the return against the wind to help. I tried to keep the Mavic close, keeping in mind the...

Wanted to get some video of a local waterfall but there were very few choices for take off...ended up threading my way through the tree canopy. It may not look so bad since the leaves have not emerged yet, but there are branches everywhere!
