Windy day today but took the Mini 3 Pro out in the scrub along the border of the Murray Sunset National Park, far north west Victoria, Australia.

The Mini 3 coped well in the strong wind except the "rocket" shot when it went up around 80-100m upwards and got a bit blown around.

Still learning and still enjoying.

Only the one hiccup when up high.

Did get a few wind warnings.

Yes I noticed the couple of jumps in the middle, was all.  Otherwise, smooth as you like.

I was surprised how stable it actually was. Next time I’ll have to take my anemometer with me.

I just use the "wig" test.  If I get out of the car and my wig blows off, I don't deploy the drone

Despite the winds, really impressive job.    An handheld anemometer is good for ground level wind measurement but it can't predict winds aloft, especially the higher you ascend.  I always check out UAV Forecast but that can be off a bit also so I only use it as a guide.

Hope you are having a great weekend.
