Here is an extreme wind test

So it stood still at 56mph , that’s incredible…

Thats superb performance.    At least that feature is waiting until January.

Heh, funny. If the numbers are correct that's significantly faster than the top speed in Sport mode, hence demonstrating that the top speed is soft limited to satisfy C1 classification. Fine by me.

Yes it is locked for  C1 in fcc its faster.

Really? That's odd, I'm seeing 19m/s on both UK and US product pages. Where are you seeing "FCC" as higher?

... that was not what Nicodema said!

The point is obviously that the Mavic 3 can fly much faster than it would normally fly in the mode used.

That means that the speed is limited in every (!) mode so that it can still fly back even with a much higher wind speed!

And that would be really awesome...

Yes its 21 and it can go more but its locked for more.

Nik, where are you getting 21 from? (I assume that's m/s). Is it quoted somewhere? I can't find it, but I may just be looking in all the wrong places?

And would you take safety into the decision to fly back as fast as drone would allow. Cars can go much faster yet they are regulated in fact all modes of transport are regulated. We have all seen these drones jail broken but I wonder if a user flew his drone into someone’s face at 70mph would he do more damage than 40mph. Dji have added measures on M3 to help it cope with wind. But ultimately if pilot cannot work with what he has then piloting skills might need to be “fast tracked”

Hello there Niknik. Good day and thank you for sharing this video with us. Just a reminder that the DJI Mavic 3 has a Max Flight Speed (  at sea level, no wind ) of 5 m/s (C mode), 15 m/s (N mode), 19 m/s (S mode) and a Max Wind Speed Resistance 12 m/s. Thank you

Let me think about all that. I first assume that the numbers (56 mph) are from the wind tunnel instruments and not the drone (no actual visual or GPS movement). So that means the drone "thinks' it is going zero mph. No limit broken there.

Quite impressive.
