Magnificent Corfe Castle

Mavic handled the 20mph wind with gusts to 30 quite well today

Like it, good work.

Not flown in 20mph + winds yet.

Nice job.
Superb location for a castle.
No wonder the wind can be a problem there, near the coast and lots of topography to channel the wind (which was barely noticeable in the video).

The wind was worse down low, i just filmed King Alfred's Tower yesterday and it was so windy on the top of that hill that the Mavic never moved in normal mode with full forward stick and even blew backwards at the tip of the gusts.

Insane wind, I have flown flat ovals in wind just testing, where the Mavic had to be put in sports mode to return into the wind, and only going out a few hundred metres.

Would be hard to film smooth and I guess editing out the bumpy stuff would leave a lot on the cutting room floor.

Great Job!!!
I can imagine that castle would have been fairly impregnable when all the walls were standing and those very steep approaches.
