Hello!

I noticed today my P2V+ has a slight wobble when in a hover.  I haven't crashed it but it is about 25 degrees F here and wind was about 10 mph.  Is this typical?  Not sure if i should try my extra set of blades but I guess I hadn't noticed this before.  I could probably take a video to show whoever is intersted.  It's a very subtle wobble but it's not constant.  Maybe something to do with the wind or cold?

Thanks,
Ryan

Well any sort of wind speed will affect the way it hovers, how accurate is your 10 MPH figure as anything over 13 MPH is into the category 4 or above warning from DJI not to fly.

it was probably more around a constant 6-8mph.  I thought CAT 4 was CAT 4 hurricane wind speeds

Category 4 on the Beaufort scale is 12.2 to 17.9 MPH.
A Hurricane is category 12
But any wind will cause the Phantom to move around as it tries to hold position.

Maybe the wind generated an additional wind chill factor and the batteries really don't like being cold.

With the wind and the temp of 25F, Maybe the Phantom was shivering and not actually wobbling... That is more like 9F with the wind..
