DJI Inspire or Phantom 4 Pro - Which is the Best Quadcopter for Windy Conditions?

Today's question is about the best quadcopter for windy conditions. Can you get rid of jello effect when you are flying a drone like the Phantom 4 Pro? Do you need to switch to a larger drone?

Our caller for today, Bob is facing some issues with his Phantom 4 Pro. Specifically, Bob is experiencing jello effect when he is flying his Phantom in high winds. Bob has already tried balancing his props but without any success. So, is it possible to capture smooth footage with the Phantom 4 Pro in such situations? Or, should Bob shift to a larger and more stable drone like the Inspire 2?

Great question, Bob. This is an issue that amateur pilots often grapple with. Drone pilots need to take into account varying wind speeds with an increase in elevation. However, can advanced flying skills make up for your lack of a larger drone? Is it advisable to change your flight settings when you are out flying in high winds? If you are regularly flying in areas with windy conditions, this show will surely interest you. Thanks for the great question, Bob. Fly Safe!
