Hi. Is it possible get real-time information about wind direction ans speed from drone

[adidasP]

Never knew this (about the moving blue line), thanks

[Dronescapes]

We never cease to learn This is a great tutorial. Good job.

eh, you already get wind velocity warnings with very light winds... and the advice to land the drone is a bit weird. If you fly in normal GPS mode, your craft can't handle that much wind indeed, but pushing it to Sport mode, it can handle very strond winds. I'm not sure I want to know how the drone is moving... mostly i know in high winds, if I see the props, and sometimes the landing legs in the frame :P

It's handy to advice people how to fly with strong winds, instead of only stating 'land the drone' .
1 advice would be, if there is quite a bit of wind, always fly upwind first, so, if you have to fly back in a hurry, the drone will fly with the wind.
2 advice would be, high winds, always sports mode. I'm not quite sure what will happen if the drone stays in sports mode when the return home is activated (anyone?) .. 1 thing is for sure, the 'go high' option of the return home, will sometimes get you into trouble with high winds.
3 battery life, drastically drops in sports mode and high winds, in half. and... is not consistent!!
4 the gimbal will fail way before the drone starts to get into trouble... I fly the Phantom 4 PRO, and that one can take s load of wind, but... gimbal can't. You start to notice this first with 'jittering' in the camera, eventually the gimbal motors will stop, and your image will yank offbalance... you can correct this by turning the drone.
5 for good camera action in high wind, always fly with the camera 'off winds' . This way, the tilting of the drone protects / shields the camera :)
6 wind is never constant... You can fly in constant high wind 'normally', but the gusts will get you mostly into troubles.
7 know the direction of the wind... and plan your flight path accordingly
8 use carbon props, more stiffness, will fly more agressively, but, less 'flapping' of the props... I've flown dousan of actions now, still use the same props..
9 ow, high wind, always start and land handheld, never on the ground!!! The drone will flip over, always!

This video didn’t instruct on how to measure wind speed during flight. Useful warnings about excessive wind but no instruction on measuring wind speed.l!

[MiuraDronesKanagawa]

Not much tutorial on the subject line. Good info but has nothing to do with explaining how to measure wind. Available apps provide reliable information.

[BJSABER]

This feature has one draw back. As a pilot, this is backwards and can cause confusion in directional attitude. It would be fitting if the flight instruments represented actual ones for continuity sake. Attitude indicators bank in the opposite direction in a turn.

[Koelkop]

If I had to land every time the high wind warning pops up I will never fly...

[Thanosrh]

This display about wind is possible also to mavic mini to watch for example V.S?

[Toob]

Very informative video but to measure windspeed you need an anemometer

[mcderf]

Konkrete Frage: Wie hoch ist die Windgeschwindigkeit, wenn die Drohne sich ohne Fernbedienungseinfluss mit einer Geschwindigkeit von 1m/sek bewegt? Sehe ich das richtig, dass diese Frage nicht beantwortet werden kann? Denn ich weiß doch nicht, bis zu welcher Windgeschwindigkeit die Drohne aktiv die Position hält... Es ist also nur als allgemeiner Warnhinweis zu verstehen, wenn die Drohne ohne Fernbedienungseinfluss die Position ändert. Eine konkrete Messung der Windgeschwindigkeit in m/ sek ist nicht möglich. Ist das zutreffend?

[julianfrancis]

Very good, but what about DJI Go users?

[coolgreenshields]

Can you send me an inspire 2 with extra batterys + a botome camera

[echochen]

I can’t land the drone properly during the strong wind

[davecue]

I got all excited for a second.... that’s great but this doesn’t measure wind speed. Video Should be Renamed to how to know if there are high winds or something like that.

[tonemythad]

I've been telling folks this for the last 2 years and everyone just ignored my comments like i didnt know what i was talking about hahahaha

[aerialeggbeater]

Ok, , , , so the title of this tutorial is “how to measure wind speed “ during flight. So, how do you measure it? I know there is a wind warning. Seen it and flown in it successfully. The blue line on the attitude indicator doesn’t tell me much, except the direction the wind is blowing. Useless.
