I've gotten a couple of "High Wind Warnings" lately on jobs that occurred at 200' AGL while the wind was only around 10-15 mph on the ground. Can anyone tell me what wind speed triggers that warning? Thanks.
7 metres/sec = 15.7 mph.Can anyone tell me what wind speed triggers that warning?
What did the warnings say on the app?Hi, I can't answer the specific question about the wind speed that triggers the high wind speeds warning. However, I do heed these warnings when they occur just because I know that winds speeds usually increase the higher above ground level you fly.
Earlier this year I had a sobering experience when I was flying a Litchi mission flying a large orbit around an old mansion house. All was proceeding as planned, the drone was at 65M AGL when suddenly as I watched the monitor it appeared to come to a violent shuddering halt and my first thought was that I had hit something but I knew that I was way above tree top height. The drone immediately continued the autonomous flight only for it to happen a few more times. There was a light breeze at ground level but I had to conclude that there were some very violent gusts up at the drone level. I suspected that the building had been offering some protection from the gusts earlier in the mission. I cancelled the mission. Another factor was that I was flying the P4 with a sunshade which may have caught the wind and overpowered the gimbal.

I don't recall seeing any warnings. Nearby tall trees obscured my view of the P4 at the time that the dramatic wobble so I was following the mission on the tablet. Initially I thought that the P4 might be on the way down... Very uncomfortable experience.What did the warnings say on the app?

That camera rock is a very normal occurrence with my Phantom. It doesn't happen a lot. I can mimic that response of the camera by switching to FPV and look down at the ground while moving side ways. It's not a good affect. lolThe app simply said "High Wind Warning" in a box near the top of the screen. Lasted about 5 seconds. I too experienced a sudden camera rock during one flight. Looked like the drone suddenly turned 90 degrees on its side for a split second on the screen, but it looked fine in the air so I suspect the gimbal had some sort of high wind induced twitch. Seeing that sideways view did stop my heart for a second.
Yeh I get some aswell,some are real and some confused drone decision lol,depending on surrounding some winds can be about at this height ,,almost like birds taking off in the wind,,,feet or landing gear up and they gone,I do expect prompts in windy conditions like it should but I ignore others
I've had similar symptoms with OA throwing a false positive when it catches a reflection or glimpse of something bright/shiny. That's why I fly all my LItchi missions with OA turned off provided that I can fly above MOCA.Hi, I can't answer the specific question about the wind speed that triggers the high wind speeds warning.

The "high wind warning" trigger speed is still a user settable parameter in the older versions of DJI Assistant. The default setting of 15.7mph is way too low, and is a real annoyance! It used to be even lower, but was later raised in a FW update, but is still way too low. It can safely be ignored in most cases. You'll know when it shouldn't be ignored!I've gotten a couple of "High Wind Warnings" lately on jobs that occurred at 200' AGL while the wind was only around 10-15 mph on the ground.
