How much wind can the DJI Avata 2 handle? DroneChecker marks it Do Not Fly above 38.52 km/h (24 mph, 10.7 m/s) in sustained wind or gusts, with a Caution line from 29 km/h (18 mph) sustained or 32 km/h (20 mph) in gusts.
DJI's cinewhoop-style FPV drone, flown in goggles with ducted propeller guards, built for fast low-level flying rather than hovering for stills.

Manufacturers publish one figure: the maximum wind speed a drone is rated to resist. The Do Not Fly line above is based on that figure for the DJI Avata 2. The Caution line is DroneChecker's own margin below it, because a drone flown right at its limit has nothing left in reserve.
Two speeds are checked separately. Sustained wind is the steady average; gusts are the short peaks above it, and they are what tends to push a small drone around. A day with a calm average but strong gusts can be harder to fly in than a steady breeze.
FPV flying hides wind in a way normal flying does not. There is no drifting hover to warn you that the air has picked up, and the ducted frame catches crosswind noticeably. The thresholds here matter more than the flying style suggests, not less.
