High wind Pano from yesterday.

Took this yesterday went up and it was just a normal little wind , at about 200 feet i started getting high wind messages started to come down and messages stopped so i went back up to 250 feet this time and hit the camera button for a panorama the i started getting high winds again , so i said the hell with it and let my Spark finish taking pictures , this is what i got .

If you look to the top right you can see my props in the image so i figure my Spark was working hard to keep stabilized .

The spark is actually surprisingly stable in high winds, I took mine up in 30+ MPH. Nice shot!

That was a very brave thing to do. I've got to admit my admiration for the capabilities of my sparky in windy conditions, are over ridden by my dread of losing it, and I come home fast when winds suddenly appear!!

I fly a Spark, a Mavic Pro, and a Inspire. I regularly fly the Spark in High winds, and it handles them well. I some of my video's you can see the tree limbs being blown round,yet the little Spark stays right on track through the shot. One thing to watch out for thought is the flight time will be greatly reduced, in high wind conditions.

Wonder if the wind could flip it and shutdown motors ?

I'm sure I have read that this cannot happen. I can't remember the reasons why. As age rises, I don't even try to remember reasons, just the main point. Lol.

Hi. It's a pleasure to write.
A few days ago I was on the beaches of the Atlantic in Buenos Aires, Argentina. there was wind and according to the UAVforecast wind of 20km/h with gusts of 40km/h at 50 meters high.
The battery with full charge lasts 9 minutes demonstrating the Spark's effort to keep flying
regards

I flew this flight today in 20-28MPH wind gust. The Spark can hold it's own with about any drone in the wind, that I own!

 

[Poletramp]

That's a good wind for sure .

Excellent shot!
We have overcast and drizzle now from the Pacific Hurricane that came through.
Should be all blown out by tomorrow.
