[QUOTE="BrianP, post: 33582, member: 6888"] tried flying to a countryside landmark today and got beaten by the wind today. At ground level it was gusting but did not seem very windy. At 275 ft I could have done with a way to measure the wind. Resorting to watching the direction arrow, the speed of the Spark and the distance count up, I was not sure if I was hitting a limit of some kind... Turning round and returning I saw speed of 20+ mph in normal mode and a return trip of next to no time! I tried it again, with a fresh battery and a swap of OTG cable to see if I had lost video signal or similar. No difference, and then I lost radio signal and Spark RTH, going like the clappers! So... my Q... is there a way to measure wind speed when at a height? Thanks for any help! [IMG]http://www.ukpollards.com/dji%20spark/roseberrytopping.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
