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!
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.
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! 😂
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!
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...
Just subscribed you really put these drones to the test so raw I am about to buy this drone as we can’t get skydio 2 in Australian so your testing has given me more confidence in the purchase . Tracking and obstacle avoidance or important keep these videos rollin
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.
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 !! 😊👍
Really? Hands down the best comment in youtube history! If you have only read about 5... Nothing wrong with the video at all but either your trolling or this is your first day at youtube.
Great video. And nice to see how it handles under stress. Yesterday I placed an order on this bad boy my self . Can't wait to get it. Thanks as always, for your brilliant videos 🙏💚
Unbeliavable test and great to see how it performed. Just got my own Air 2 this week and just in the beginning of testing it myself. Seems brilliant already and seeing this test of yours blew my mind!
I don't normally say things like this (clears throat) you're channel is my absolute favorite! Keep doing what you're doing and Thank You for doing it!!!
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 !
DC OMG !!! Dude i was watching this with one eye open and holding my breath !!!!LOL !!! BUT its great to know that SPORTS MODE is safe under those wind condition !!! Very impressive !!! GREAT VIDEO !!!
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.
Very impressive. I like how you roll the dice over water in your videos. The lack of side and top sensors is keeping my from pulling the trigger on this though.
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.
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.
@@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.
@@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
In support of your camera i have liked and subscribed this vid and your channel. Just bought this thing and am excited to get it so i wanted to see the wind test. i appreciate you and your camera efforts.
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.
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
MR Rainmaker! Fantastic testing! i'm shocked at how calm you are haha! I would be having a few heart attacks! Thank you for testing this for us we appreciate you! :) poor cyclist that got wet haha , I was really hoping to see the sea-lion though..
Perfect!! You have done the test I have been waiting to see... I hike a lot and some of those ridges get super windy. Getting rid of the Phantom 4 pro to get this. Much easier to pack around. 😉✌🏾
Great video and what a cool spot for flying the drone. That long road and the sea with the big waves and the old lighthouse in the end of the road. I think you can make a mystery horror mini series in this place with your drone 😄
Good info. I don’t think I would ever have tried in those conditions but it looks like it would be possible if there were some particular footage you wanted to get. The smoothness of the footage is amazing.
This is incredible, i just ordered this drone. So glad to see the power it has, thanks for risking your new baby for us 😂
Thanks!!!
Hey i order mine like three days ago did they ship yours yet ...
@@hemant25787 So did I. Not shipped yet
@@hemant25787 I ordered in the first 5 minutes of release. Also not shipped yet
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
DC you're just crazy man. That's why we love you.
Just scraping the shit outta the Air 2. Nice👌🏽👌🏽✌🏽
Someone’s gotta do it! 🤷🏼♂️😂
@@Dcrainmaker I'll subscribe right now men. Yr just the best. 👌🏽👌🏽
Great video. Thanks !
But, I gotta wonder if you would have done this if it was Your drone 😂
@@toadlguy Definitely. I've been trying to kill drones for years with my own gear. :)
Great job covering everything in this video!!
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!
Huntstyle For real!!
Haha
Yep
This man costs me a lot of money. First of all on my watch, then various accessories for it and now a bloody drone.
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.
Thanks!
Yes, MA2 is perfect, even better than pro 2 in some ways.
Great second video. Quite entertaining AND convincing. This drone is a beast.
Thanks!!!!
The gimbal was surprisingly stable with that wind. Thanks for the test.
No Problem!
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! 😂
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
I'm all about pushing it to the limits!
Thanks mate, both entertaining and informative!
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!
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!
That drone was pissed. Yes definitely got a like for pushing the limits. You gave me drone over water anxiety.
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.
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...
Great to hear! Thanks for the sub!
One of the best practical test video of DJI mavic till date.
3:00 oh man, such a beautiful shot! You can see the wind on the other side, over the water.
These tests are just so much more interesting than the boring range tests, great job, seriously impressed with how it handled that wind.
Thanks!!!
Just purchased this drone weeks ago. Really it is an eye-opening and mind-blowing test, dude! Great job and keep rollin.
Dude you're so incredible! This is the kind of reviews and tests we need. This is real as it gets.
3:01 perfect shot of that biker getter soaked haha
Nailed it!
biker getter better soaker whater ?

Welcome to my every day!
This is the best drone test i have seen ever. Great video and great wind test... And now i want the air 2
Thanks!

wow i was worried about a slight gust outside, This gave me huge confidence. awesome!
Great, now I know that this toy is useful for shooting windsurfing and kiting for sure.... Thx buddy, this is by far your best vlog. 👏
Thanks!!!
I am impressed with the footage during high wind. Gotta save money for it or wait for sale thou. Keep up good work !
gives me confidence in the uk when we have pretty breezy days
Thanks for the demo! I'm definitely grabbing this drone to get footage of my sailboat!

Thanks Dr!
buddy this was awesome, thats the real elements thank you for pushing the limits
Great job showing a real world extreme circumstance
Extreme test of electronic equipment there Ray. Very impressive.
Excellent! This drone is very strong and reliable!
i see the risk ur taaking man, this is pure content. new sub

Awesome video. Man, you have some balls, risking your new drone in those conditions over the water. Very impressive. Thanks for the video! 👍👍👍
All I can say is, I appreciate you going out in these conditions just to make a point. Pretty ballz.😉Nee to the Channel BTW
Thanks!!!
Very impressive. I like how you roll the dice over water in your videos. The lack of side and top sensors is keeping my from pulling the trigger on this though.

Fantastic man real stormy weather test and not some berk pointing a leaf blower at the Drone! Gegroet!
Wow!! Pretty awesome! Loved when the dude on the bike got rocked with a wave.
Awesome! no matter it is an ad or not. Awesome!

Love the footage of the huge wave soaking the cyclist..that would look cool in a slowmo clip..
I was waiting for this wind test awesome...thanks for the video ....I just order my mavic air 2
Man this is a really hard wind test for the drone and It handle it quite well. Thanks for this video!
3:23 "You are seeing a little bit of gimbal tiHILLT there"
Wow!! You the MAN!! I just ordered my Air2. Thx
Enjoy!
Great video Ray! I just placed my preorder, super excited!
Great video i have been alittle worried to fly in really high winds. Good to know it can handle so much
Great wind test on that awesome Mavic Air 2

It was entertaining. You're in the right country to do this test.
Great review! I was considering this drone for kitesurfing videos and your test just sold it to me! Thanks!!!!
I'm buying one literally right now, thx for this convincing vid

was thinking the same thing... allthough I have the feeling, the Phantom can take more wind
Muhammad Atkins Still holding on to my MP1😁 it might be time to upgrade now. I’ve always been scared of small drones & wind.
This is why I love DJI
Great video and what a cool spot for flying the drone. That long road and the sea with the big waves and the old lighthouse in the end of the road. I think you can make a mystery horror mini series in this place with your drone 😄

I have the mini and the Air 2 and the Air 2 is a beast!
Thank you so much I have been looking for à video to do with wind speed for the Mavic 2 and finally someone has some one
*done not some😅
Ask and you shall receive!
Zuidpier in the wind is hard enough to cycle. This is an incredible video.
Another day another beautiful place 👍🏼
Love it!! "Take off permitted"....it's up to you.
Exactly!!
😱 Nice work Ray 👏
Thanks!
Dang. 👍👍👍 love the active track circle.
Thanks!
this is awesome review. I like it very much....seriously so suprised with its capability to perform under such heavy wind....good job !!!
That moment, the wind is strong enough so the shut off drones propellers are mooving as fast as if the drone is on :D Mindblowing stabilisation!
Great real world test and risk factor!
Good info. I don’t think I would ever have tried in those conditions but it looks like it would be possible if there were some particular footage you wanted to get. The smoothness of the footage is amazing.
This is the video I wanted to see on UA-cam about this drone!!!!:)) Thank you very very much! Good test! Good luck!Best regards from Portugal!;))
This video convinced me to get the Air 2, many thanks!
D!! you have a set for sure flying so close to that water
you fully guide the features of the mavic air 2, I just bought it but dare not use it. Thank you very much
