In South Africa, we fly in a mountainous and extended plateau environment. For us, ground level is usually 5,500ft or 1,700m. So the changing winds can be challenging, even just "around the corner", and especially in our dramatic mountain kloofs at the edge of plateau.
I have a preference for flying in light wind or still conditions, simply because there's one less thing (wind) to think about and you can concentrate on filming. But for us, flying the drone is work. So, if we need to fly, we fly. And we've found the
P4P+ (including gimbal) to be very stable.
Takeoff and landing in higher winds of 20-25 mph and upwards isn't fun (when it's work). Obviously, in a remote area especially, if the drone is damaged, it would be "game over" for quite a while. And filming wild animals in stronger winds isn't the best because they generally "spook" more in these conditions to anything unusual, which is not what you want.
We needed footage of clouds from above, with a few occasional gaps to see the ground below. On one day, it was windy and we were nervous. We had to climb to the maximum height of 1,640ft or 500m - so 7,140ft or 2,200m above sea level. But the drone performed brilliantly and the film output was very stable as usual.
The
P4P+ is an excellent drone.
