is it because of the strong winds the horizon is not level in some scene's?
and in what winds can it be flown to get and stay level?

Drone is a DJI mini 3 pro. I don't know the specs for how strong wind it takes, but this day was 11- 13 m/s average. It will fly in winds just over 10 m/s or 20 knots, but it will also have problems keeping the horizon level then. If the camera points straight up- or downwind it looks better than sideways, but the drone is working very hard to move or even stay still in winds @ +10 m/s.

That beach looks perfect! Great surface. Drone footage really improves a video. I wish i had the skills and knowledge to use one.
You own an S3, me too.

Do you like it?
