The Mini 5 Pro is not great in the wind. The battery drops like a rock. The drone itself starts to lose altitude. Sport mode is super slow when the battery is low and fighting the wind.
This video shows the 3 things I learned while flying on a windy day.
This test was done using the lighter weight battery. A heavier battery might help the wind resistance, but in any case, keep the drone close and away from water if you fly the Mini 5 Pro on a windy day.
