Off a full charge, I managed to get twelve and a half minutes of video, bringing the battery indicator on my tablet down to 55%.
Winds were steady, with my phone's weatherbug app reporting 15mph winds with 22mph gusts. A few times in the video during what was supposed to be level flight, you can see the props briefly as a result of the quad battling the wind. At 7:53, I hit a 1/4" wide by 3' tall sapling while flying. The gimbal did an amazing job of hiding the fact that my quad was bucking like crazy in an attempt to recover. (well, it probably was not all that bad, but considering she was fresh out of the box, I was pretty worried).

The highlight of the flight was when a few red tail hawks came flying up for a closer look. I managed to get a small bit of video of one of them, and have cropped and slowed down the video of that here:

Excuse my ignorance, are you talking about Miles per hour or Meters per hour, the wind speed? because in reality the video does not show the presence of wind, no blade or any branch moves, it is more in the 12th minute you see a label hanging from your control perpendicular to the floor, with almost no movement. This I say to the sole effect that you ensure that the application of the climate you use, this indicating real values and not something else that could put your drone at risk. Greetings and flights!
