I see .. the reason the people selling such things won't give details of how much they affect performance is because I won't watch videos .The reason why is because you do not watch the videos of the performance and you have not tested it yourself.
And for some reason you are against the whole idea.
But that is your choice.
Mine is not taking a chance.
Got it.
The main point you can take from the video is that the additional drag has had a significant effect on the flight distance.
Unencumbered DJI indicate a possible max range of 18 km for the Air 2 but the video flight only made 6.1 km total distance.
btw .. that video of the "very, very windy day" is quite misleading.
The water surface and trees show pretty clearly that winds were very, very gentle.
The wind speed shown by Airdata is calculated from the drone's pitch angle.
To overcome the additional drag the drone has to tilt further which messes up the Airdata wind speed.
What would be revealing is the pitch angles the drone was using for the flight.
