(Link above help to support the channel! Thanks!)
Just how much wind can the DJI Mavic Air sustain? I set out to find out. On a day closing in on 50KPH (30MPH) winds - I push it to the limit. Both in regular mode as well as sport mode, in 4K/30FPS as well as 1080P/120FPS. Plus testing of how well it responds, takes off, lands, and more! I also compare it to the DJI Mavic Pro too!

That was insane dude! I had sweaty palms and a lump in my throat the whole time! Over the ocean??!!! Thank you for this. Gives me great confidence in my new Air!

Nice to see someone who knows how to do a wind review. Some people believe a wind review only consists of hovering, which only tells part of the story.

Great Video, I was really wondering about how the Air would handle the wind, as it is so light an small. But also I think the Gimbal is way more stable than the one of the Pro, even though I only once had it visibly shaking from wind.

Need some advice. I prefer taking off and landing by hand as my older (cheaper) drone had a tendency of allowing dirt to enter the prop gears. Had a problem where one prop malfunctioned due to having particles grind down some teeth in the gear. Is this a problem for DJI drones?

This is super-helpful...I'm a MPP owner, but I'm considering adding the air. I've heard mixed reviews of how it handles in winds like this, but what drone wouldn't struggle in wind like this? This certainly gives me a little more confidence. This 05:39 "holy 💩 that's hauling ass" Ha! You got it close to 50MPH with the wind. Too cool.

@nathanksimpson 6 жыл бұрын

Perhaps invest in a blimp and off camera mic, or a fuzzy cover for your lav? There are lots of cheap solutions for dealing with wind. Some other options include reducing in post, and turning your back to the wind while shooting if you are wearing a lav.

@InfinityDrones 5 жыл бұрын

Could the winds not flip the drone? I have a Mavic pro and I've flowing in 30-40kph winds with gusts op 40-50kph. I've always been worried that it will flip the drone. If the drone drifts then a plan can be made... but if it flips, it's all over. The Mavic pro will obviously be affected (shake) more due to its larger size. The question is... will it flip?

@martinwerling8445 4 жыл бұрын

Hi this clip convinced me that MA was ok for me👌, living near a big lake and it is often windy. Now a lost my MA in this lake and DJI says that it was blowing to hard ~10 knots, DJI quote: "aircraft tilted 6.7 degrees frontward and 10.8 degrees rightward to resist the wind, which indicates that there was strong" I presume that your MA in this test tilted a LOT more in your test!? So I presume that 6.7 & 10.8 degrees tilt shouldn't be a problem...? What do you ideas/thoughts about this🤔? Thanks in advance 😀

@Totustuus2022 6 жыл бұрын

I understand and I applaud you for that but in my inquiry I said "in this conditions". I am assuming that you will not be able to go far so you still will have LOS. I was just interested in how the drone behave in a straight line with that type of wind speed. Like a wind tunnel. Cheers

wow almost 50 mph on that high speed run, and judging from the direction of the waves he was still cutting some wind

@Dcrainmaker 6 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was actually faster than that - but I have a feeling the app has some smoothing in there, which records a slightly slower speed. I've never seen a drone fly by as fast as that. My guess was probably closer to 70MPH, which would make more sense for a 42MPH base + 30MPH tailwind.

@askmeaboutmymixtape 6 жыл бұрын

haha awesome thats a 0-60mph time to match a new ferrari

@joshriordan3541 4 жыл бұрын

Wait but isn't flying more than one drone at once illegal? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

@nitramluap 6 жыл бұрын

Well, to be fair it's really only flying at it's maximum airspeed all the time - like any aircraft, it's the speed relative to the air around it that matters. It's just the added wind component that makes it *appear* to be going faster relative to the ground (ie. ground speed). It will go even faster in a hurricane, but you might not get it back. ;) One thing to note is that if the wind speed is close to the device's top speed, don't fly downwind as you might not have enough juice to crawl back! But I know you know all this... ;)

@janjantube 6 жыл бұрын

great video! ...but why is it that you can see the propellers from time to time in the mavic air footage?

@Dcrainmaker 6 жыл бұрын

That's due to sport mode, which increases the angle of the aircraft such that it's no longer guaranteed for the props to be out of the frame at all times.

@rjamil 5 жыл бұрын

Showing us this video really helps, especially to us newbies. Do you look constantly on your screen or do you also check the drone in the air from time to time? Any tips to counter heavy gusts and wind?

@Dcrainmaker 5 жыл бұрын

I'm always checking both. I'm looking at the aircraft with my own eyes to see what drift looks like (if any). That's harder to realize at first from the screen, but is super easy with ones own eyes. But I'm also checking the screen to ensure that the GPS signal is strong and that I'm in the modes I want to be.
