    Can the DJI Mavic Air 2 handle high speed winds of over 50KPH?!? I set out to find out. And when I asked myself if doing it over water was a good idea, I didn't pause to finish thinking about it.
    In this test I put the DJI Mavic Air 2 to the test in multiple modes from normal to Active Track, sport modes, and regular take-off and landing fun. Plus how it handles with a wee bit of water spray and more!

I had similar difficulties landing as you did, Winds were 35mph gusting to 55 mph. I got some beautiful fall colors in the panorama of the 10K ft peaks. That storm dropped 51 inches of snow.

    Coming from a Mavic Mini, it’s incredible to see how much wind the Air 2 is able to sustain. My mini would start drifting away when experiencing wind speed of over 15mph. I’m overall happy with my mini, but gosh, the Air 2 seems to just give you the peace of mind and confidence when flying in more extreme conditions.

    • @MinrasDotCom
      @MinrasDotCom 4 года назад +1

      I wouldn't advice trying Mini in cliffs in a windy weather. The reason is that in cliffs you have wind gusts circulating vertically and for them Mini is like a sail. My Mini was flipped over by one of such gusts in dunes, fortunately I found it. Actually, for me winds and wind gusts is one of the biggest reasons to look for a new drone.
