Tried heading upwind at 75 ft and the Mavic was moving backwards with full forward stick. I brought her back quick via Sport Mode and started fooling around. She's a very capable drone!

I assume you had greater than 35- 40mph winds up at 75feet otherwise in theory you should have made (albeit slow) headway against them.Tried heading upwind at 75 ft and the Mavic was moving backwards with full forward stick.

I was flying in GPS mode, so it only goes 20mph. I could make a little headway in Sport mode, but I was getting a "gimbal shake error".I assume you had greater than 35- 40mph winds up at 75feet otherwise in theory you should have made (albeit slow) headway against them.

To be fair, I fly RC helicopters on occasion. [emoji106]Obviously NOT your first flight!
Yup, so was probably up to a 16 mph tail wind using Sport Mode. You could probably fly in a 35mph headwind and make a little progress, but your gimbal would take a thrashing, your flight would be very unstable, and your battery life would plummet.The member who put up the goggle test hit 56 MPH on the way back, that's kicking it.

Then don't.. I have never done that with any of my batteries for any of my birds. I have close to 80 flights on each of the 6 batteries and my battery life is at 94%. Keep flying monitor the voltage condition as described in the manual.With this kind of nimble and fast flight I can see that I am going to have a hard time stopping at 50 % battery for the first 10 flights of each battery!
Just tried mine in sport mode during a blustery afternoon, wow, it's snappy... I suggest it could easily become prang mode..Tried heading upwind at 75 ft and the Mavic was moving backwards with full forward stick.
