Dang. I'm still learning with my mini.. but crap.. shame I need to do the course in 🇨🇦 and I'm away for work. Maybe when I get back

[@vtrmcs]

This man costs me a lot of money. First of all on my watch, then various accessories for it and now a bloody drone.

[@chrisnotap]

Great job covering everything in this video!!

[@rootbeerbuzz9696]

This video sold my brother. A week later I’m returning my new Mavic Mini and buying this one. Not only can it handle the wind which makes it much more usable, the camera and features are awesome for the price I think.

[@Dcrainmaker]

Thanks!

[@Ben.N]

Yes, MA2 is perfect, even better than pro 2 in some ways.

[@huntstyle]

Thank you for making USEFUL reviews/tests! I hate when "reviews" just talk about the specs. I can read that on the website. I need real-world testing like this!

[@hawkboy000]

Huntstyle For real!!

Haha

Yep

[@xaviergaubert-amy877]

Great second video. Quite entertaining AND convincing. This drone is a beast.

The gimbal was surprisingly stable with that wind. Thanks for the test.

[@Dcrainmaker]

No Problem!

The is the currently THE definitive stress test of the Air 2!

Too bad I failed this stress test. This gave me anxiety watching, lol.

[@jsounz7673]

Perfect timing. There is a lot of wind in my area, and I was wondering how the drone would react. Wondering no longer! Great video!

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks mate, both entertaining and informative!

[@WillEDC]

Seriously you are the best drone channel. No one is actually testing !! Just reading out specs and fancy b roll. This is what we need to know

[@Dcrainmaker]

I'm all about pushing it to the limits!

[@jatoav8or]

You sold me! Just ordered an air 2 after seeing this video and the bike/tree video. I’ve been into conventional RC aircraft for 25 years (fixed wing & rotor) and I’d never dream of going up in that gale. This seems like a perfect marriage of my two hobbies, RC and photography. Thanks!

[@Sazuza2]

3:00 oh man, such a beautiful shot! You can see the wind on the other side, over the water.

[@JRod-dg8ftw]

After watching literally a full work weeks worth of different drones footage/videos (yes about 40 hours) and FAR too many reviews, you just convinced me that this should be my first small business drone...thanks for the review...you got a new Sub...

[@Dcrainmaker]

Great to hear! Thanks for the sub!

[@cineartsmedia8811]

Just purchased this drone weeks ago. Really it is an eye-opening and mind-blowing test, dude! Great job and keep rollin.

[@AlexAnghelone]

I was so scared for that drone that i just kept thinking "fuck he's gonna throw that thing in the water" for all the video, instead you were completely cool about that. You're crazy dude! 😂

[@Lokkiism]

That drone was pissed. Yes definitely got a like for pushing the limits. You gave me drone over water anxiety.

[@davidwalker2402]

These tests are just so much more interesting than the boring range tests, great job, seriously impressed with how it handled that wind.

[@Dcrainmaker]

Thanks!!!

[@tapas1505]

One of the best practical test video of DJI mavic till date.

[@BERNARDIN_1986]

Hi folks,we flew our mavic air 2 in the Patagonia (Lago General Carrera) at 100m of altitud with strong winds and even with the sport mode we almost lost it!!! It seems obvious but when you have strong winds you must find the lowest possible altitud (and pray) then you might have it back. Great video DC Rainmaker !

[@paulsmyth497]

Awwwwww mate - yes - it certainly was funny / entertaining / informative / useful and every other adjective you hoped it would be. Thank you. I subscribed last night after watching your Mini 2 wind test, and as a newbie - this video was the last, last, last, LAST link in my chain - the Air 2 is the one for me, from starter, to "All I need". I shall order one, give it to my Wife, and demand that she wraps it up for Christmas. Love your channel mate. Thank you for doing this for the rest of us !! 😊👍

[@fishingfiend]

I plan on using the Air2 on a boat and was wondering about the effects of strong coastal winds and spray. You nailed it, totally appreciate the video. Time to get my order in.

This is the best drone test i have seen ever. Great video and great wind test... And now i want the air 2

[@Dcrainmaker]

Thanks!

[@flatheadprints]

thanks for the wind test and wow! Well done on your very confident flying. My adrenaline was flowing just watching you. I had a similar flight with my Parrot Anafi last fall outside of Glacier National Park in Montana during a snowstorm. 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. fly on Mr DC Rainmaker...I ordered this the other day.

[@HDRGuy]

wow i was worried about a slight gust outside, This gave me huge confidence. awesome!

[@cephotoclub]

this gives me a ton more confidence with the drone, cheers for the effort

[@burrows0211]

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.

[@zoranstary7229]

Hola..thanks you so much for this review about the resistance of the Mavic Air 2 to the strong wind. Very usefull. Gretting from another suffered cyclist from Spain. Best regards

[@kiwicodger]

This video changed my decision towards this from the EVO 2. Thought I needed a bigger drone to handle strong wind. That orbiting was amazing considering the conditions.Cheers for the vid, brilliant.

[@jasonjahnkeinla]

Wow!! You the MAN!! I just ordered my Air2. Thx

[@Dcrainmaker]

Enjoy!

[@philzvids3577]

"Unable to return home automatically". I would have panicked at this point! Great video.

[@MartinWillett]

I have had that with my Mavic Mini, also over water, but not as hairy as this! You just have to do what it says, fly home manually. I was going backwards at times so I zig-zagged and that was enough to get back. I have now decided that my Mavic Mini is too light for flying in a breeze. It's light and its top speed is lower than a big boy's drone which makes it a bit too much of a handful in the wind. This Air 2 is heavier, more powerful and capable of a higher top speed so it should fly better in medium winds. You shouldn't be flying any drone in seriously high winds. Also because this app doesn't let you do RTH in high wind it is important that you always know which way home is, if you go out of sight you must have a functioning map. Flying a drone is a bit like riding a bike, you can take your feet off the pedals or take your hands off the handlebars. But if you try to do both you'll regret it. If the drone is in line of sight there's no need to panic, assuming you're not running very low on battery power. Just bring it in closer, or failing that get it over something that you can crash-land onto.

[@pavelperina7629]

@@MartinWillett Mavic mini is able to handle quite strong wind. RTH may be a problem cause it tends to climb into even stronger wind and speed is limited. Also it has limited tilt angle in other modes than sport. Today I tried to fly against strong wind (it was not comfortable to ride a bike against it and it limited downhill speed) and it slowed drone to 4m/s 40 meters high. In my experience worst is turbulent wind over hilltops, drone starts to wobble.

[@cassijoanna]

@@pavelperina7629 the mini is amazing! I mean all these drones do have a limit with wind. They are all susceptible unless you have a really big drone. 500 dollars more for this is too much
