I must admit to thinking the Mavic 2 Pro was the ultimate Strong Wind model, but the Air 2S seemed to perform best, in a surprise to me.
Bit annoyed I forgot bring the DJI FPV out as well, as that does so well in strong wind.  And also I didn't have exactly the same height for each model; I didn't want to put the Mini 2 to any further risk as it seemed to be struggling.

Anyway, bit of fun and reitterates the 'Fly out into wind; fly home with wind'  rule...

Cheers
Ian

Im surprised by that too,  I would have thought with the M2P being able to lift so much more weight it would have excelled.  At least it still has the better camera.

Great demon Ian.    I was expecting better results from the EVO.  Thanks for reinforcing the golden rule (fly out into the wind and fly home with the wind).

Based on your latest video it's easy to see why Mini 2 did not handle the wind so well.  Normal vs Sport is a huge difference.  Hopefully DJI will fix this bug that you have identified.
