Lets talk about the MaVic in the Wind

[Lightsout]

I took my mavic out this weekend to fly but it was very windy here in Houston, TX. Hovering the mavic was jumping all over and I ended up just landing it and not flying. Good to hear that others have experienced the jumping around as well.

I am a beginner so I am being extra cautious before doing any flying right now.

I though the same thing it was jumping and jittering like crazy, however once I started moving in a lateral direction it smoother right out. Buy a hand held wind meter $10 for me sustained 15 is about my limit, I sure it will handle more however my 22 mph gust flight was a little sketchy,

I could not import drone with camera to my country , i need to find the way to remove camera+ gymbal in easy way and send 2 part separate -> body and gymbal

What about the obstacle avoidance and optical ground sensors, do your laws require their removal also?

Smuggling is your best option!

Had mine get pulled about 500 ft yesterday before I got the altitude down low enough to get out of the wind. Used sports mode and got it back to me... just a little scary!

Got some cool video though

Nice, I think I will have to invest in one myself! Seems like a handy little tool.

I'm new to the Mavic, not new to RC flying, and I get way too many wind warnings with almost every flight. You guys say you are flying in 15mph+ winds, why aren't you getting these annoying warnings?

I get them constantly ever since the last update where they made it more sensitive. Way too sensitive and annoying now. I ignore them now where I used to at least pay attention to them

This x2, used to take note but now they go off in almost still conditions so I don't even bother anymore

I'd rather dji fix the wind warnings before the CAF issue

Compared to my P3 standard my Mavic cuts through wind like butter. I think the low profile gives it better sliceability. I've never piloted a P4
