To your question about wind: a couple of weeks ago, I flew my Mavic Air in winds of 25mph (11m/s) gusting badly to 30mph (13m/s) or more. Local terrain was treeless and otherwise clear of obstructions, and I was miles from any EM source. I had 17 to 19 GPS contacts at all times, and an against-a-clear-sky line of sight.
Aside from the chilly wind, conditions were close to ideal. After unusually careful pre-flight checks of
everything (especially GPS and compass), I launched the Air from the lee side of my vehicle. After it green-lighted its RTH fix, I gingerly sent it up perhaps 40' (12m) and observed its hover. Despite the ferocious wind, tossed and buffeted like a robin in a hurricane, it held its position. As you'd expect, it gave me
frequent reminders that, on account of high winds, I should "
Fly With Caution". Ha! I was flying with
unmitigated terror!
However, satisfied that the
MA wasn't about to blow away, I turned my eye to the video feed, and was utterly
astonished at the stability of the image. The bird was visibly--and rather violently--correcting all three axes amidst severe turbulence, but the gimbal was simultaneously counter-correcting. Watching from the ground, you would expect horribly unstable video, but the
MA zeroed-out the aircraft movement with remarkable precision.
Given its performance to that point, I took the bird out a few hundred yards (m) to my target, and eventually up to about 100' (30m). The warnings became more urgent: "Strong Aircraft Interference". Finally too unnerved to continue, I turned around, dropped altitude, and came home safely.
I
really wanted more video of that target, but in those conditions the slightest problem could easily lead to disaster and I felt I had to give up. I'll go back another day, but it's a windy locale; calm days there are uncommon. That experience, however, gives me confidence that the
MA will cope well in somewhat lighter winds, providing I have strong GPS, an unerringly
calibrated compass, full batteries, and a change of undies. ;-) [Glad you read this far; I know I'm windy!]
