Gusty Dublin - Mavic Mini

GooglePlus · 2020-08-01 12:12:11

I've noticed that Dublin always seemed to have gusts near 40km according to UAV forecast. Probably due to its vicinity to the coast. Wind speed are usually grand (under 20km) so I'm wondering if the gusts are something to worry about with my Mavic Mini or should I just be concerned by sustained wind?

No, you need to be wary of gusts too. The max recommended wind speed, including gusts, is 8m/s or 28kph. That's pretty close to it's max speed in P mode, so any higher and it won't be able to hover in one location. Make sure you take note in UAV Forecast of wind speed at altitude too. It can get pretty windy at 50m+ altitude.
