Today has been windy, but wanted to try a quick flight.

Nearly ended badly.. At least I know not to bother when its like that..

If your an iPhone user take look at UV Forecast it will let you know if its safe to fly weather wise

Hello and good day Tervos.com. I am sorry to know what happened to your previous flight with your DJI Mavic Mini and for sharing this experience with us. Just a reminder that the DJI Mavic Mini has a Max Wind Speed Resistance of 8 m/s ( Scale 4 ) and always prepare a pref-light check list before each and every flight. Again, thank you and please fly safe always.

So what did actually happen? Did it started to blow away?

I've seen some pretty strong gusts lately on my App.  Must be off all these storms we have been having.  Glad you didn't crash.

That was lucky escape!

I had that sinking feeling.. ..why did I go outside today and try to fly.. why why why..

Glad I survived.

Close call!  Glad your mini came out unscathed.

Glad I survived.

On the other hand Mini did a good job, that wind gust had to be very strong. Weather is very challenging and unstable at this moment. Ciara storm 2 weeks ago, another strong wind warning today in my country, windy all the time, very hard for Mini owners! I hope we get calmer conditions soon...

Luck that wasn't a problem!  MM is not a windbreaker bird!

Glad it ended well - chalk one up to experience

On the good side, that did create an interesting video, albeit a bit frenetic.
