This was a hard flight. Winds were over 22mph. Hard to keep a constant speed. Several people were amazed of how the Mavic handled the strong winds. I wish the wind was calm

sport mode saved the day today. I remember when I never used sport mode. During my first bridge flight, I almost didn't make it back to my home point.  3-5 MPH fighting wind and it starting to rain. Now it's mandatory when flying over water. the wind is so strong.

<--- a difficult flight. AT 2:21 I started to sweat.

Wow another great video... gotta lean the Sport mode for emergency use. I saw a lot of YouTube ppl lost their Mavic due to struggling with wind speed and some is pilot fault cos push it to the limit.. I think safety is priority every time fly

I didn't have it enabled in the beginning because i thought i i was never need it. I soon learned that it's a must if you are in a dangerous situation.
