A quick test of the DJI Mini Pro 4's range, winds were quite high as you can see so I RTH to ensure I wasnt caught out. No fancy cinematic moves just a practice day for flight skills and some quick video editing.

Thanks,

Nice video and area.

Interesting views of the wetlands.  Despite the strong winds the Mini 4 Pro performed quite well.

Nice flight. Were you happy with the performance of your drone?

I think I picked a bad day to do a range test, the wind brought with it risk and I chose not to go further afield reducing the chance of the drone running out of power on the way back. I went through 3 batties in the space of 25 mins give or take. I normally get 35 mins flight time per battery so that puts in perspective how hard the drone was fighting to stay in place. All in all im impressed with the performance in wind but as a range test I found that trees cause signigicant signal drops but would like to test again on a calmer day.

These little drones handle the wind surprisingly well, within limits.Depending where you stand, you ight be surprised just how far the range can stretch - if you're on an elevated TOAL point ( a hill) for example.
But generally, it's best to keep it within the distance you can see it

Nice to see!

Great flight over a lovely wetlands
