@@LamboPhoto I am deaf so going by the subtitles, you appear to refer to the drone being in ATTI mode, have you hacked the firmware to get that? If not, how are you putting it in ATTI mode? Perhaps, for clarity, you could state the cost of the additional "flyaway" coverage above and beyond the cost of the normal "care refresh" coverage, or the cost the flyaway coverage if care refresh is now included in 'flyaway' coverage. Perhaps you could state the cost of the "excess" for a flyaway claim. I can not, at the moment, find quotes in UK £ but in US $ care refreash for the mini 2 is $49 whilst the flyaway insurance is $225 and then there is the excess to be added to that. Just as a matter of interest did you realistically think there was the tiniest bit of hope that any drone could have fought that storm successfully? When it was already being blown away at 60ft WHY did you continue to make it climb to 400ft?

You are a brave man but what did you expect in Storm Eunice? Mavic Mini 2 top speed is 35.7mph so in any wind stronger than that you are going to lose it. Your Mini recorded 100mph but that's ground speed not airspeed. The Mini2 flys at max 35.7 airspeed no matter what the wind is doing. Think paraglider, in stll wind it will have an airspeed and groundspeed of around 20mph. If flying into 20mph head wind it's still travelling throug air at 20mph but groundspeed is zero. If it turns 180degress and flys down wind it's still travelling through air at 20mph but ground speed is 40mph. Your mini had 100mph ground speed, was flying THROUGH air at 35.7mph in a parcel of wind that was moving downwind from you over land at around 65mph. You could throw your mini into the air without starting the motors in a 65mph wind but it wouldn't be flying it would be being blown away! Loved your video though. Best wishes.
