Brief flight at Aston-by-Stone Hall with constant strong wind warnings using DJI mini 4 Pro 2024

Had constant Strong wind warnings and gimbal judder during this short flight. Aborted on safety grounds after less than 10 minutes. Did it give me enough smooth footage? You decide and let me know what you think in the comments.
Aston Hall, located in Stone, Staffordshire, was designed in 1855 by Edward Welby Pugin for Father Edward Huddlestone, with possible incorporation of earlier elements from a convent by CF Hansom. The Grade II listing is attributed 5to its architectural significance, featuring works by both Hansom and Pugin, intact survival of Pugin's design, and its historical importance as a site of Roman Catholic worship, including housing the remains of St Chad during the Reformation. The property's history spans centuries, passing through various families before being acquired by the Birmingham Roman Catholic Diocese in 1959. The house, primarily constructed of red brick with decorative blue and gault brick detailing, boasts a 'pinwheel' floor plan centred around an open-well staircase hall. The interior features richly detailed fireplaces and a chapel with salvaged architectural elements possibly from the earlier convent.
THE FLIGHT
From the moment I took off I was getting strong wind alerts but no stranger to these as the drone is less than 250g wet! Persevered with the flight though, but kept getting gimbal jerks as the drone fought against the wind; and at times, even with full stick, it wasn't going anywhere! Still got enough I think for an entertaining 3 minutes. Let me know in the comments what you think ........ should I have stopped straight away?

It amazes me no matter how windy it is the footage always looks so serene.

[@DocColVideo]

Thx matey. I honestly didn't think I'd get any use able footage TBH, but still had enough after cutting out the dodgy stuff. 😊

Thank you so much. A short one for me, used up all the footage after cutting out all the jerks and stalls from the strong winds 🤣

Can you get smooth footage with the mini 4 Pro in 25mph+ winds? You decide; and as always I'd be interested to read your comments. If you liked this video then smash the like button and subscribe to my Channel for more drone action! Cheers Col 😊

Great Flight Doc, even with the strong winds, the mini 4 pro is an awesome wee drone. Great music choice and editing, buddy 👏👏🎥👍

[@DocColVideo]

Thx Jim. Bit of b-roll really but enjoyed the edit. 👍

[@ladyintheskyuk]

Beautifully captured, Col. 👌 lovely place. My girl handles the wind quite well. It's the rain for me at the moment. Been wet all week. This morning is miserable too. 😫 Wind next week😮 Enjoyed that flight and great music too. 🎶 👍

[@DocColVideo]

Thank you Yvonne. I agree with you and that the mini 3Pro and the mini 4P are very capable in the wind but have found anything over 25mph a bit dodgy for cinematic filming. 🙃 I can always get it back manually against the wind but filming is very sporadic as the gimbal hits it's limit as it stalls in gusts. Photos are good to go though! 🥰 Weather dire at mo, roll on Spring and Summer! 😎🥳🥳

[@rsmickeymooproductions4877]

Handled the wind well . Well done col.

[@DocColVideo]

Thx Micky. I'll take that as a compliment for sure as there was a fair bit of post editing to make it look as smooth as it does. 😉

[@tabadrone]

Nice video. Liked. I watched the drone show live today. You were there too. I subscribed to your channel. Good flights. I see you.

[@DocColVideo]

Thank you for your comments and sub. I've returned the favour. 👍

[@Steve53]

Morning Col looking at the flight it looks great even in the strong wind, cant fault the flight it was perfect. 👏👍😎.

[@DocColVideo]

Thx Steve. Was in the air for a short time and most of the footage was unusable but made the most of what was left. 😅

[@buzzindrones]

It’s always frustrating when it’s windy conditions with this little drone Col but you braved it out and it handled it well I thought . Great attempt buddy and nice flying 😊

[@DocColVideo]

Thx Buzz. There was a lot of post stabilisation going on and it wouldn't yaw anti-clockwise for long even on full stick. 😳

[@DavidLorenzoFlorida]

*Good flight over the Hall. I think your 10 minutes was enough 👍*

[@DocColVideo]

Thx David, I think so too! 👍

[@Qwackers-video]

Nice flight. Next to the church I did recently, but I didn’t know it was there.

[@DocColVideo]

I was looking at the Church you did on the OS Map whilst planning a walk and noticed the hall. Must have past it a million times and didn't know it existed either!

[@tojj29]

Those mini 4's seem great drones. May be time for an upgrade. Nice video bud

[@DocColVideo]

Thx matey. TBH, I sometimes think my mini 3 Pro took better video but probably just in my head! The signal strength of the RC2 and occusync 4 is what I upgraded for and I'm not disappointed with that at all. 👍
