I'm trying to get a "pan-in" shot of the front of a building. I centered the building's entrance in my shot and tried to fly directly toward it, but the drone kept drifting slightly and the shot became off center. I would adjust the drone's direction, but that sudden motion ruined the shot.

There was a slight wind. The flags were clearly blowing, but it wasn't anything crazy. Maybe 12 mph. Could that cause this difficulty or is it more likely just poor piloting? Is there any way to deal with the drone drifting that doesn't ruin the shot?
