Thank you so much!  I think this is due to strong gusts of wind.  Mini weighs only 249 grams and small propellers

There was wind on the ground, but I won't say that it was strong.  There was wind at altitude, messages on the screen about strong winds appeared many times ...

The sport mode could not cope with the gusts of wind.  Mini takes away from me ...

I try to check the free app UAV Forecast,  you can change the altitude for the wind forecast.   Its quite interesting to see how wind chases changes with altitude.

Love this, especially the upbeat music....how fast was the wind do you estimate, the footage is mostly very steady.

You have to give Mini credit for trying its best against those gusts.  For its size it is still a quite capable drone.
