Yes, never that close to the ground with that much wind. I was worried when landing and was extra careful of bursts of wind.I flee yesterday with 30kmh and one metre of ground crash and broken proppels
Wow that's some wind, you didn't physically feel,that was a lot of wind? I know when I flew yesterday I could feel it was quite fast, and it was half the speeds you've encountered.
Yes, I'm looking to get one. Though in this situation it wouldn't have helped if the launch area was insulated from the winds experienced after launch.A good anemometer makes a fine addition to any UAS's accessory pack.

Yeah, something directly attached to the unit to give true real-time wind speed would be awesome.DJI needs to add pitot tubes to the Phantom 4.
That be amazing when flying telling us wind speed on the dji go.DJI needs to add pitot tubes to the Phantom 4.
BTW on UAV Forecast, change the WIND ALTITUDE to the height you usually fly at or plan on flying it. Sometimes ground wind is much different than wind at 250 feet up.Beginner here
Been eager to fly again after some bad weather; today all the boxes on the UAV Forecast app where green apart from wind, which was red because of over 20mph winds. Decided I'd take her for a ride. I completed all the checks & hovered at 1 meter for a couple of minutes. I felt happy, and took her straight up to 50 meters, and suddenly the wind took her 250 meters away from me.
I felt massively uncomfortable, and immediately started to begin to bring her back; however I really struggled as I was flying into the same strong winds that took her away. I was managing speeds of only 3mph max, and at one time I was really concerned about getting her back. It seemed an eternity, but eventually I got her back safely.
As a noob, I’m possible overreacting. However, for now I’m setting the UAV Forecast to 10mph, and only flying on all greens.
Out of interest I took a look at my healthy drones log; it estimates the winds I caught where averaging at 43.2mph (link below)
