[QUOTE="RockyNH_RIP, post: 532008, member: 10784"] On Feb 2nd, I wanted to attempt to get up a bit in Altitude. So far the highest I had done was 100' I took off from my drive, flew across the street and climbed to 100, rotating for video purpose. It was a bit breezy and I could see the quad tilted at an angle to maintain position against the wind but the video was smooth and level. I then took it up to 200' and the Phantom handled it well but the "pilot" got nervous in the wind and brought it back down. Interesting to note how small it looked at 200', in fact my wife lost site of it in the sky. Looking at the stats in "Healthy Drone", the wind averaged 12.5 with gusts to 18.5 mph and direction on this short flight was from 24 deg to 135 deg so it was constantly changing directional also. Here is that Video, I was pleased with how steady considering the wind. The Phantom deals with the wind better than the courage of the "pilot" :) [MEDIA=youtube]mtBSWoUxCcQ[/MEDIA] Pat in GA [/QUOTE]
