( This film is a supplement demonstration to this 1 hour film "Drone Quad-copter flight control demo - Legislation (What they didn't tell you)" )
NOTE: At 00:32 "the tree" 120 meters away can be seen to the right of the film.
While this is a more powerful medium level drone (Tarantula X6), it is only rated 5 minutes flying time with its' 1200mAh 7.4v battery.
In this it crashes because the wind moves from 3-4 meters a second to more powerful constant or gust of around 6-7 meters a second, blowing away the quad-copter although in essence it is able to handle that type of wind but, for most, for the first 2 1/2 minutes of the battery power.
(what you are watching is a waste of time for attempting with a drone under designed weight with camera of"250g" e.g. a V686 would have its takeoff aborted at 4 meters a second by a sensible person because it would fail at that wind speed to be controllable)
Also "Headless mode" is not in use making steering a little inaccurate and not precise enough for the required absolute countering of wind direction!
"Headless mode" is a system that can be set from the transmitter to allow the aircraft to respond to control stick signals as though it were always facing away from the transmitter.
Moreover, i wasn't my best that afternoon and the sky was darker than it appears, and i couldn't quite properly judge the paint color positions put on the front two limbs(the color although bold red is on the darker side too).
Toy drones "the alike of" e.g. V686 are not able to handle wind beyond 3 meters a second(and should only bee flown inside or in properly wind shielded areas) - THEY ARE PROBABLY MOST OF THE REASON FOR MOST CRASHES AND THUS LAW UNREASONABLE LAW CHANGES AND BANS AGAINST DRONES, AS MUCH NON UNDERSTANDING THE SEVERE LIMITATIONS ANY SMALL ABSOLUTE-NON-PROFESSIONAL SIZE DRONES HAVE FOR POWER AND ITS' SUPPLY OF ELECTRICITY !!!!
FOR more information see "Drone Quad-copter flight control demo - Legislation (What they didn't tell you)".
"Unfortunately" toy drones(under 250 grams) are not safe to fly outside where light breeze or "breeze gusts" most often will send a toy size quad-copter from control because it is too powerless.
*** a note about when i say ..."full power"... at around 37:10 in the film, that is an attempt to lift the V686 up because it is sinking from a combination of air pressure change(sinking is how you detect that change and the weather changed from sunny to raining a couple of times in those few days and totaled around 7 or 8mm of rainfall) and from too little throttle power supplied for a short moment.
With small drones it can easily be too late as can be heard a moment before the small drone under 250g (it weighs just over 100g) crashes!
Here is the V686 being tested when i first obtained it.
It is simply understood by me at that stage that wind grabs it and it is irretrievable to a medium breeze.
The speed of the drift can be seen on the wide angle lens!

This following link is naughty to put here but if you understand this as the base requirement with FPV(has separate charger) and 1080x720 and 200 meter range
you will crash less.
(if you are a novice buying two identical can save having to find another later after destroying the first on in training!)
