Crazy Windy Day. 4 Top Drones. All four in top speed mode to fight headwinds and see how they fly compared to their specs. What is the strongest wind you can fly your Autel Evo 2 Pro, your Mavic 2 Pro or Zoom, your DJI Air 2S or the DJI Mini 2? I take all 4 out in gale force winds to test how they cope with very strong winds and avoid being blown away.

Two Points: 1. The Mini 2 was NOT in Sports Mode despite the screen shot; watch this: th-cam.com/video/E0TQT50J5_s/w-d-xo.html
2. the Autel is defo in Ludicrous Mode despite the Obstacle Avoidance indicator being green; watch this: th-cam.com/video/eSAcT16XyXw/w-d-xo.html
Would the Air 2s have had the same problem of not being in sports mode? You lifted off with it already in sports mode so I would presume it has the same safety mode as the Mini 2?
@@stewartbladensb I checked the flight logs for the Air2S and that was defo in Sports mode, presumably because I had left the Fly App open on my phone and simply changed drone and remote. No consistency on the app for this screen bug.
i am one drone pleas brother
My yaw is so fast in sports mode I definitely know when I'm in that mode. 👍
On rare occasions I've taken on a strong wind, it is less stressful on the machine to take a sailing approach, i.e. don't go directly into the headwind. Zig Zag a little to reduce the apparent wind speed you are up against.
Consistent winds here in Texas, thanks for reinforcing the golden rule! Loving the Mini 2.
Brilliant result from the Air2S, expected much more from the Autel. Thanks for another informative video Ian.
Glad to know I got the tough one. Air 2S performance is top-notch!
I too was surprised by the results. I really thought having watch you other video on the Evo 2 it was going to smash all the DJI's in the wind test. Thank you for doing this test.
Love your channel man! Unbiased vids are what I and I think other people like to see! Can't wait for more content regarding the ma2 and air 2s!
Awesome video, man the Air 2s was coming in "HOT" when you flew it back. I love my air 2. Take care!
Instructive ;) , i got the AIR 2S some day's ago and now know it's the best on wind :)
Great video, I found the Autel EVO2 Pro video feedback very clear and not breaking at all unlike others were breaking up. Thank you.
Bye the way, I love how you tag the times for each flight. Attention to detail and quality. Thanks.
Really good video flow. Perfect intro! And you talk fast which is essential for tech video engagement. Been looking for a channel with the right flow style for a channel were working on and this is it.
Loving our Mini 2.
Cheers for the good words 👍🏻👍🏻
I’m not at all surprised! LOL I have the Air 2S and I can say it is my best drone to date.👌💯
Better than the 2 pro. What do you think of the fixed aperture?
@@m77ast The manual apature is defenetly a plus, but I´d rather have 5.4k and 4k60 than it.
But the Mavic Pro 3 will be a burner I guess
@@froznfire9531 why 4k60 the drone is already flying slow and most drone shots are already in slow motion.
I still shoot at 1080p and don’t see the benefit of 5.4K.
I don’t understand why you value these over the aperture. I understand that there is no dof in drone footage but surely you want to be able to set aperture exposure.
I love 4K 60 on my camera but I don’t understand why I would need 4K 60 on a drone.
Perhaps you can help me to understand.
@@m77ast I like 4k60 for action shots (I film MTB and skiing sometimes). For normal shots it's not needed though. 5.4k is great, I upload at 4k and 5.4k either gives me a sharper image or the ability to crop or reframe and so on. I use 1080 120fps and 4k60 pretty often
Soo you are saying that the fixed aperture is never a problem.
What time of issues have you got soo far from having a fixed aperture.
Really enjoyable and informative test, as usual. Thanks Ian.
Great stuff as always Ian. No way I’d be sending my little baby up in wind like that! 😬
Love Ted having a good scrap in the background 😂😂
Hi Ian! Great test. Thanks for doing this. The most surprising thing for me out of this test is that video performance from the Evo II is so pretty! Cheers!
It's a rainbow of obstacle avoidance! :)
Thanks for doing this test. It looked like and sounded like the wind really picked up towards the end.
The best bit was when your dogs were playing around the 7:15 mark haha
Well done Ian all drones home safe again, very interesting results thanks for sharing another great TEST, regards TJK UK.
Looks like the Air 2S knocked spots and the Mini wasn't too shabby either. When I fully master my Mini i'll be looking to get the Air 2S from this test. Thanks Ian.
I’ve been waiting for this 😁😁😁
Had the air 2s for a couple of weeks coming from P4P and i just love it in the words of David Dickinson "it's the real deal " Great video thanks Ian
But no where near cheap as chips..😉
Liked!!! It's a surprise that the air2S perform well compared to 2Pro. Thank you for sharing Ian. Best regards from the Philippines.
Awesome video! I have been nervous to fly in high winds with my new Air 2s, so thank you for showing it can handle it. On a side note, I love your Corgis playing in the background. LOL
Upgraded to the Air2S after my Mavic Pro 2 was stolen a month ago. Absolutely love this UAV and it's camera! Good video comparison.
Nice little demo Ian
It’s 11:30 pm on a Friday night here in Western Australia and I’m off to bed
Look forward to your next one mate
Cheers
Good comparison test, Ian! Even the Mini2 was a surprise.
Thanks for your windy U tube. 6 weeks I've had my Air2S combo. Mavic Air, Mini2, Air 2S. I thought Air2S combo+carefree for$2,000 Ozi was too much. But 6 weeks later, very happy. Good value for my 💰. Air 2 s is easy to operate, and I hate wet days!! I want to fly
Buying the DJI Mavic Air 2s was a great decision for me. Camera, features and coping with wind - all fantastic. It is such a pleasure to fly. I have also just purchased the Mini 3 pro which I have yet to fly. I had the Mini 2 which I gave to my niece's husband. It did surprisingly well in wind. But, I took your advice when it stopped moving against the wind and I lowered my altitude and got back in 'sports mode'. The wind had shifted. I initially launched into the wind, but a kilometer out, the wind shifted. Yes, I was freaked out, but, I remembered your advice and got the Mini 2 back to the launch point. Thanks!
Air 2S is still up there as pretty much the best all rounder..... :)
Great comparison Ian, the only way to proof this would be to sent them all up at the same time, same height etc! There's a challenge for ya!
I'm surprised too with results, thanks Ian for this test 😉🙃
Very impressive strong wind test, thanks for sharing!
I’m honestly surprised. I feel like the Air 2s did the best but the Mini 2 did much better than I expected.
Well, the Mavic 2 Pro has a much larger surface area when it's at an angle forward.
The drone design is more focused on low profile when hovering, to avoid the tilting of the aircraft, but not so much for high speed.
Mini 2 is a little beast!
@@NB-pj4cj well, but it's not powerful enough to fight strong winds properly. That's why I've chosen the Air 2 :)
@@RubenKelevra and He didn’t use the sport mode on the Dji mini2
@@NB-pj4cj That is right. 😁. I have mini 2.
Love this kind of content. Helping us decide which drone to get. Got my eyes on the DJI Air 2S for quite some time now. I think it’s time to cave in.
Do it :)
Brooke, I have had DJI units in the past, and they are great. I purchased the EVO II Pro about 2.5 months ago, and am so impressed with the quality of video and ease of use. We documented a side-by-side (ATV) trip to Moab Utah. I literally had about an hour of flying time. Beautiful videos even having such a low amount of practice flight time. Not sure how difficult it is to get these devices in your location, and price matters. IMO, the EVO II is the best buy, especially if you're looking for top-notch video recording.
@@reddirtwarriors4846 yeah but 2.7k au vs 1600au big difference in price considering the air 2s is nearly as good in every area.
Is there a budget Air 2s??
@@asdfbill8020 autel lite+
Great vlog! I really wanted you to send out the air 2s again, just to see if the wind had risen a bit making the latter flights harder work. There is also the possibility that the air 2s aerodynamic snout may be helping it. Looks like a Porsche 928....👌🏾
Keep posting, keep flying! 😎👍🏾
I was wanting to see that as well. As a scientist I'm forced to point out that you would really need a consistent wind tunnel, or at least some localized real time wind indicators to make any accurate or semi accurate test. Even a comparison of the video at each takeoff might give a rough indication. But, I'm also an artist, and the artist says I really enjoy Ian's content!
Yeah, me too. Great point! I thought the winds picked up quite a bit after the Air 2S maiden flight.
Nice observation about the Porsche :)....I was thinking more of a 911, but you are closer to the truth.
Mini2 travado, é um indicio que vento estava muito forte mesmo no inicio.. mas concordo.
Awesome subject to cover, thanks you very much, I might have confidence to fly more now 👍
Thanks for that Ian. A real life test and I’m now getting an Air 2S. Ted obviously doesn’t like dayglo colours. We had a Westie with the same attitude.
Another informative video. Cheers mate. 👍
Thank you for the video sir! It was very informative and aided in my decision in my next drone purchase!
Brilliant ian really good test. Absolutely love the dogs 🐕 😁
Hmmm... it's not just the power of the drone, but the wind load resulting from the surface area presented to the windward side. Interesting. Glad to see that Ted was there to help. 👍
Great video! Love your dogs rambling around 😁
Great info! Thanks for doing this video.
Very interesting results! Would have expected more from the Evo....!
Great comparison Ian and would suggest there's an ideal surface area coupled with available performance to help choose the best drone for these conditions!.
Air 2 s very impressive.
Great review! Absolutely magnificent. Unfortunately due to scarce space (I ride on a motorcycle) I can manage to carry just a DJI mini SE, but this is a great video to see it's capabilities. Great job!
Really interesting test Ian, was surprised the Autel did not perform as well. DJI seem to have the air dynamics right. I would guess the Mavic air 2 would perform similar to its upgrade the 2s👍
Thank you for the performance testing comparason. Liked and subscribed.
This is the one i wanted to see!
Great testing, with some surprising results. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers Ron 👍🏻
All these are very capable UAVs and all have incredible optics. One can split a lot of hairs trying to decide. For me it came down to the Geofencing issue so I went with Autel.
I doubt I will be out in those winds but after watching this video, I see I can still go out in lesser winds and still do good work.
Nice job, keep it coming!👊🏾👊🏾
That wind sounds beautiful there 🌬️
Good comparison video Ian
Interesting to see the comparisons in real life vs manufacturers claims!
Perfect! Congratulations on the content, a hug from my City Águas Belas PE and from Brazil.
Cheers!!
Great test!. I got the air2s to film windsurfing so it looks like I made the right decision.
Great test thank you.
Nice comparison, mate!
Thanks for this video!
Great as always pal! Love the doggies playing 🤣
Awesome clip, now I have some idea of what to expect out of my Autel 640T.
Great test! I have the M2P and Mini 2. My new Air2s will be here in 2 days (just sold my Air2), so this was a very pertinent test for me! You flew the M2P and the Evo higher than the others. I wonder if that had any affect?
Thanks for the great video!
great test, thank you man
New to the channel and to drone flying.I love the work you do and beautiful landscape.great information thank you.
Well done tests. Very informative! Wow did they burn in with the wind.
Thank you for the good test.
That's amazing. If I had to buy a drone today, I'd go for the Air 2s.
Great video. The good old mini 2 always surprises me in a good way. Would have been nice to have seen the DJI FPV and how that would handle the high winds.
The fpv wouldn't have blinked at the wind.....👍🏻
thanks for ur efforts and testing,learned alot from this video.educational
Great video thanks for doing this. Only thing missing IMO was battery endurance in the wind.
Glad I bought air 2s now.
Well done fine video.
This is interesting. The larger drones might have more power but they are also larger in size and thus the wind acts against them more. The Air 2 seems to be a great balance of size and power which is why it did best. Of course, in conditions where you SHOULD fly your drone, the bigger drones do have significant benefits.
While the weight argument is certainly true it might also have to do with the torque of the rotors.
Greetings from a Brit living in Cocoa Beach, Florida! We are in our " Windy Season" right now. I haven't flown my Mavic Mini for a week, until I came across this video. Ian, I actually learned a few things from you (fly against the wind out, with the wind coming back), so thank you for your Droney Wisdom. You have a beautiful home and a couple of awesome dogs! When are we having that beer. Cheers!
Hey Daryl! Thanks for the support and the good words! I absolutely loved Cocoa beach when we rented a condo for a week a few years back, sadly before I had my drones.... What a truly beautiful spot! :) Ted is great fun to film with! Yep, maybe we'll need some Zoom beers soon!
@@IaninLondon Zoom Beers are awesome.
Definitely a good video thanks for sharing
Thanks Mate! Hugs from Lisbon 👌🥂
Nice wind test and the new kid on the bock is a winner.....The Air 2S....👍🏼😉😎 thanks for sharing Ian...👍🏼
i diont think so. with al things concidered (exact same wind speed and direction, agl, and fresh batteries), m2 platform is stronger and faster. unlocked it can fly over 90km/h (this is real wind m2 wind resistance to hold position, imo)
Good test! Awesome video. Keep it up. - From Malaysia
thanks for this video!
Thanks for the great wind test Ian, this is my first time watching your video and I really appreciate it. It's not related to the Drone, but I do have a Westy too and yours so cute too. Aloha from Hawaii
Ah, aloha indeed.... Lived Hawaii..... 🐾❤️
Thanks! Lots of great info!!
Hi Ian, nice surprise, air 2s👍👏
I would love to see an inspire 1 v2 and an Inspire 2 compete in this test as their used prices are coming down and now inspire prices compete with the new prices of your drones.
Interesting, thanks for sharing!!
Unreal! So the second cheapest kicked the most ass! Kind of wish I had gotten one now at costco when it was in sale. Mahalo for this comparison test video.
Ian does it real great video mate.
Less drones, more Ted.
Thanks for the video. 🙏
With winter approaching here in NZ it’s good to see my newly acquired Air 2S can perform well in the wind if need be. Thanks for the test Ian.
After this test, I am more thinking of bypassing the Air 2, and going straight to the 2s. With winter approaching here in Australia as well…. It’s certainly a consideration 😁
@@andrewsaunders307 I have the Air 2 also. The motor strength and flight characteristics seem similar so you can’t go wrong with either. Just depends on if you need the better camera or slightly better transmission signal of the Air 2S for the price increase.
@@YourreelmemoriesAu As a Landscape Photographer, I’m considering it for the higher resolution and reduction in colour banding. I can edit around this with the mini2. But it’s always nice to have a good bit of kit to take photos
@@andrewsaunders307 it’s a no brainer then. I’ve already noticed less noise and better colours compared to my Air 2. The increased resolution is also a welcome addition.
@@YourreelmemoriesAu to be honest I am not sure that the Air 2s is better transmission than the Air 2 in theory yes but not in practice me thinks and as for the better camera I am a 1080p guy with all settings on Auto
Nice video, would have been nice to have taken the AIR 2S out again after the Evo, just to see if it repeated the performance, or whether the wind up there had picked up quite a bit since the AIR 2S went out
You gotta love DJI Gimbals!
Congratulations. Very impressive Drone ,many thanks
Good test!!!
The Air 2s is my first drone ever to own and fly, so I guess I have set the bar really high for the next upgrade in a distant future.
I have the original Mavic Air and it does pretty well in the wind. Top speed 45 mph and I fly it at the coast all the time. My favorite now is the mini2 but it does seem to drift while flying in sports mode even with no wind. There must be a mass/weight factor in there as well. Nice comparison video.
Thanks! The Air 1 slices thru wind; it's very nippy..👍🏻
Thanks Ian,,,,,, great vid,,, very useful
FANTASTIC VIDEO ! I LOVE AIR 2 S !!! GREETINGS FROM SWITZERLAND !
Very interesting test with interesting results, thanks for sharing.
Great tests. Interesting indeed. 👍👍✌️
I enjoyed your test
Tried my Mini 2 in near similar conditions (out of curiosity). Had the same issues. Did ok, but really struggles. Also noticed, the camera is a little jerky when trying to pan (yaw) left and right.
Nice video Ian. I always appreciate how you advise others to fly out agains the wind so that you can have an easier time flying back home. My regards to the dogs. Please scratch them behind the ears for me. Bob
This sounds like a philosophy of life 😂
