(Link above help to support the channel! Thanks!)
Just how much wind can the DJI Mavic Air sustain? I set out to find out. On a day closing in on 50KPH (30MPH) winds - I push it to the limit. Both in regular mode as well as sport mode, in 4K/30FPS as well as 1080P/120FPS. Plus testing of how well it responds, takes off, lands, and more! I also compare it to the DJI Mavic Pro too!

That was insane dude! I had sweaty palms and a lump in my throat the whole time! Over the ocean??!!! Thank you for this. Gives me great confidence in my new Air!
Dude! You have HUGE balls flying in that wind and over water like that! However, I am more impressed with both drones due to your courage! Thanks!
Mavic Air: yo bro idgaf
Mavic Mini: help me
Spark:Bye👋
Nice to see someone who knows how to do a wind review. Some people believe a wind review only consists of hovering, which only tells part of the story.
CAPTAIN DRONE i
Hello captain!
Great test, really good job ;-) Kind of confirmed my suspicion that air would not be that sensitive to high wind, it has a smaller footprint and way higher rpm range to compensate
Thanks for taking the risks so we don't have to Ray! ... watching all of these high wind videos, I have to say that I'm super impressed with how the Mini 3 Pro (other video) handled the wind. May have just been luck, but it seemed to be the most successful.
dude much respect, flying 2 drones simultaneously and recording all by urself
Great video, that’s a real wind test.
thanks for doing this. Now I feel better about flying my Mavic Pro in the wind.
Great job at putting your drones in jeopardy! That deserves a like just for that!
This is a great drone, i just did my cinematic 120p tests on this.
Perhaps invest in a blimp and off camera mic, or a fuzzy cover for your lav? There are lots of cheap solutions for dealing with wind. Some other options include reducing in post, and turning your back to the wind while shooting if you are wearing a lav.
I really enjoyed your video
Awesome wind review! thanks for doing that. why is there thumbs down?
What a great video! You got balls of steel, too! I love it!
I watched your other video with the Mavic pro in high winds many months back sometime after i bought mines, i am disappointed you are now referring to it as a tank, come on man JSMH hahahaha (good Video though)
awesome review! Both handles so well in that wind, sheesh!
Thanks ! I skip flying today because of 20km wind. After your vid, I think it would be fine.
Damn dude great video! Now I'm pretty bummed I didn't fly in Greece a bit more against 20mph winds. My first drone so I was too scared with my precious new Air but this helped a lot for future reference.
The air works surprisingly well under heavy wind.
I love my mavic air
Great Video, I was really wondering about how the Air would handle the wind, as it is so light an small. But also I think the Gimbal is way more stable than the one of the Pro, even though I only once had it visibly shaking from wind.
wow... in surprise in the stability in hard winds.... not bad :)
Good one - I keep an anemometer in my kit just to get a semi-accurate wind reading before going up. This little guy can handle a lot!
St.G same here
liked and subscribed !
Wow! Awesome cool video!
awesome review! Didn't expect the Mavic Air can handle this high wind conditions even better than the Pro.
best REVIEW that I ever seen for WIND TEST :D
Love this review :) thanks for doing that. I was concerned about wind.
Great Wind Test!
Thank you so much for this review. I live in one of the windiest cities in the country, but I think a Mavic Air will handle JUST fine.
Very informative, now to cleaning out all the sand grains from the prop wash . . .
Thanks for the high wind review. I'm buying a drone to film kitesurfing soon. Air is looking good
Brilliant. Been looking for a review like this for ages. I’m considering either of these 2 drones.
Thanks for having the bottle to do the test.
I was so timid to fly in what now seems like a slight breeze compared to this, thanks for the video!!! Dji is awesome!
I am getting a Mavic Air this coming week, early birthday present from my partner :) so glad you made this video... makes me feel more ok with going out in windy days.
Wow, you're very brave taking two quads at the same time up in that wind ! Plus what a location to record from, no room for failure !.
Like others have said, makes me reassured of what our machines can handle..
Such a great review, I would have to say a very accurate comparison. I just purchased the Mavic Air and started a channel to showcase the Australian landscape, after some more use I’ll also do a review on the Mavic Air from my personal experience.
Seeing this gives me more confidence in my Mavic Air. You definitely don't seem worried!
What software was that showing the wind speed?
There is a shark rigt there....
and holding a remote control
Great video tnx!
Good to see this! I am off to Australia to a remote high location with high winds, now I know what to expect. Well done and thanks!
How are your camera settings from the drone? The video looks very good and I would also like to shoot with my mavic air
Hi this clip convinced me that MA was ok for me👌, living near a big lake and it is often windy.
Now a lost my MA in this lake and DJI says that it was blowing to hard ~10 knots, DJI quote: "aircraft tilted 6.7 degrees frontward and 10.8 degrees rightward to resist the wind, which indicates that there was strong"
I presume that your MA in this test tilted a LOT more in your test!?
So I presume that 6.7 & 10.8 degrees tilt shouldn't be a problem...?
What do you ideas/thoughts about this🤔?
Thanks in advance 😀
This is super-helpful...I'm a MPP owner, but I'm considering adding the air. I've heard mixed reviews of how it handles in winds like this, but what drone wouldn't struggle in wind like this? This certainly gives me a little more confidence.
This 05:39 "holy 💩 that's hauling ass" Ha! You got it close to 50MPH with the wind. Too cool.
Thanks a lot for the video. This makes me more confident flying mavic air in a windy weather.
Nice!
please do mavic 2 vs air wind test and most important mavic 2 - air noise test
Could the winds not flip the drone? I have a Mavic pro and I've flowing in 30-40kph winds with gusts op 40-50kph. I've always been worried that it will flip the drone. If the drone drifts then a plan can be made... but if it flips, it's all over. The Mavic pro will obviously be affected (shake) more due to its larger size. The question is... will it flip?
Great review! Have you done a full range test in this conditions? Subscribed
Thanks! No, no range tests. Mostly because most range tests tend to be illegal (at least where I am), so I generally let others take care of those things. :)
I understand and I applaud you for that but in my inquiry I said "in this conditions". I am assuming that you will not be able to go far so you still will have LOS. I was just interested in how the drone behave in a straight line with that type of wind speed. Like a wind tunnel. Cheers
We've made some insanely awesome videos with the Mavic Air! Love this machine!
Hi
Fantastic videos and reviews
What do you recommended
Dji mavic mini 2 or mavic air 1
Thanks for reply
Thank you, very helpfull. That's a real wind test !!!! +1 suscriber.
I'm in to filming windsurf horse riding with one of those two drones. What would do you think would be the best choice ? How about the noise is one of them more silent (better with animals). Thanks !!!
Thank u. Im considering to buy mavic air cz i lost my mavic pro when it drifted away cz of strong winds and landed in a lake unfortunately.
What winds were you flying in?
Need some advice. I prefer taking off and landing by hand as my older (cheaper) drone had a tendency of allowing dirt to enter the prop gears. Had a problem where one prop malfunctioned due to having particles grind down some teeth in the gear. Is this a problem for DJI drones?
Wait but isn't flying more than one drone at once illegal? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Great video and very brave putting them both over the water 💦 🙈
Well, to be fair it's really only flying at it's maximum airspeed all the time - like any aircraft, it's the speed relative to the air around it that matters.
It's just the added wind component that makes it *appear* to be going faster relative to the ground (ie. ground speed). It will go even faster in a hurricane, but you might not get it back. ;)
One thing to note is that if the wind speed is close to the device's top speed, don't fly downwind as you might not have enough juice to crawl back! But I know you know all this... ;)
Your ATTITUDE is too large :))
Great,, mavic air..
watch out guys the higher you go the stronger the wind way way more strong so keep it within 30 feet height or something when its too windy like this ... great video tho
Just wonder Why would you take of and land straight on the sand???.
I wont take of with my mavic air unless it is dust free, usually take of and land in my hand
I generally land on my hand all the time, though usually take-off from the ground when possible. The reason I take-off from the ground is that I find that every once in a while you'll get imprecise take-offs that can fly towards your face, which is less than ideal. Whereas with landing things are usually pretty stable. In this case though (high winds) - the units will often surge a few feet one direction or another when they first lift off, which could very well be towards your face.
great wind test video... But, yeah, I was thinking the same. You're not afraid of getting sand or salt air in the internal components? When the wind is onshore here at the beach. I stay grounded. Too much salt in the air. Plus, I use a landing pad when landing on dirt roads or the beach. Actually, I almost always use a landing pad.
I almost lost my Phantom 3 Advanced in high winds. Must have been 30+ mph winds, because it was drifting away. Scary.
Hello my friend. I have lost my Mavic Air and I want to prove wind was not higher than specified, do you suggest any other website/app besides earth.nullschool.net for tracking the wind on a specific date in the past? Thank you.
i dont understand. what is better in wind mavic pro or mavic air??
great video! ...but why is it that you can see the propellers from time to time in the mavic air footage?
That's due to sport mode, which increases the angle of the aircraft such that it's no longer guaranteed for the props to be out of the frame at all times.
nice and helpfull.. thanks for sharing.. i wonder what is the title of the music in the end of the video.. thanks!...
best wind test!!!!! great info too
Nice review . I wish to have that mavic mini..
Why is it we see the props with the air? I notice that on mine
You are brave to have the Mavic Pro and Air up there at the same time.....I get nervous when I put a controller on the ground like that. :) Great video ... The video footage it got didn't seem to be too useable though as it was shaky.
DJI have the option of Lightbridge or Occusync they use wifi, was a really bad move by DJI 👎🏼
Nicely done, I especially like the way you rescued the footage out of the tilted GoPro...
I live in the Windy City and my mavic Pro handles the wind just fine if it didn't I be the first to say it the mavic air it's too damn loud that's the only place you'll be able to fly it where there's no people
As other tests show, the air handles head wind better than the Pro. If I undestand it right, the Pro had to be put in sport mode just to hold its position. The fact gets kind of lost in the review.
How many knots would this be equivalent o?
One question though: Won't sand get into the air vents of these quads? He proved the Mavic can withstand high winds but not sure you should try it regularly.
No issues with sand in the 'vents'. However, where you can get in a pickle is sand in the gimbal, but that only happens upon landing in sand. You can always hand-catch, or land on a non-sandy surface (grass/rock/etc...).
This is really impressive, I didn't even think it was possible to fly small drones like these at such wind speeds!
Great video!! Mavic AIR.... now I know why its called AIR hahahah
Being in West Texas where high winds are a way of life, I feel better after watching this video that I'
ll be ok!
Nice... but no... I love my air... lol...
Civil Aviation Safety Authority doesn't allow u fly two drones at the same time
Great review, ballsly stuff, thanks and sub for good💚🍀🏄🚁🍺
The mavic air gimbal setting, is that the FPV mode or FOLLOW mode?
Not very wise to do this near water ...
I have lost my Mavic Air and I want to prove wind was not higher than specified, do you suggest any other website/app besides earth.nullschool.net for tracking the wind on a specific date in the past? Thank you.
So is it better to have it in Sports mode when I'm high winds? Thanks
Rofl i looked at this to start and went.. hey.. thats south beach in freo.
Awesome test . very useful
Great test. Thanks!
Did anyone else watch this, and think of the movie "batteries not included"?
Childhood nostalgia!
Great movie!
Showing us this video really helps, especially to us newbies. Do you look constantly on your screen or do you also check the drone in the air from time to time? Any tips to counter heavy gusts and wind?
I'm always checking both. I'm looking at the aircraft with my own eyes to see what drift looks like (if any). That's harder to realize at first from the screen, but is super easy with ones own eyes. But I'm also checking the screen to ensure that the GPS signal is strong and that I'm in the modes I want to be.
should have tested the ability to stop the drone as it's "hauling ass" downwind, that's what kills most drones.. flying into something solid as it tries to slow down.
Stopping wasn't too much of an issue. But honestly when you're talking Sport Mode + 50KPH winds, you'll simply have to use some common sense on appropriate stopping distances.
I'm sure you've become accustomed to our "sea breeze" already.
Indeed...now I just gotta learn how to kite surf!
I'm a kitesurfer in New York. Where is this video shot? That wind is crazy but that water color is to die for.
Figured it out from your Facebook posts. Awe crap, I would have never though Australia.
White caps show on water when the wind speed is between 12-15 mph. Suggest that is a great way to determine whether the flying conditions are unfavorable for drone flight. White caps YES; Drone flying NO!
Monsters allergy
I thought we were about to see you lose that drone as it blew downwind and into the next town.
Me too...I figured it'd eventually hit the dunes, since that elevation is slightly higher than mine. Though, wasn't thrilled with the prospects of having to go into the dunes given the massive numbers of snakes I see in there. Thankfully, all worked out!
@@Dcrainmaker Do you think there is a possibility that the Air or Pro would flip if you were flying in those winds and a gust of 10mph more hit them? Specifically asking for the Pro as its the bigger drone.
@@InfinityDrones Zero possibility (unless we're talking crazy hurricane winds). I've flown all drones in super high winds with gusts, never a flip. What essentially happens is that it just starts drifting if it goes over the limits.
@@Dcrainmaker thank you so much for the reply, I know this is quite and old video. You are to date the only reviewer that has tested and reviewed drone in such a way that it leaves me with less questions and not more. Thank you for that. Ps: would love to see how the mavic pro does flying on those winds like you did the air.
high wind test + over water? wow
wow almost 50 mph on that high speed run, and judging from the direction of the waves he was still cutting some wind
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was actually faster than that - but I have a feeling the app has some smoothing in there, which records a slightly slower speed. I've never seen a drone fly by as fast as that. My guess was probably closer to 70MPH, which would make more sense for a 42MPH base + 30MPH tailwind.
haha awesome thats a 0-60mph time to match a new ferrari
Klomers an hour?
