How much wind can the DJI Phantom 4 Pro handle? DroneChecker marks it Do Not Fly above 36 km/h (22 mph, 10 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.
The Phantom 4 Pro is long discontinued but still widely flown, and at well over a kilogram it is the heaviest airframe DroneChecker supports.

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 Phantom 4 Pro. 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.
Being heavy is not the same as being wind-proof. The Phantom 4 Pro's official rating is lower than several far lighter modern drones, and its size means a stall or a fly-away carries more consequence. This one is worth checking properly rather than trusting its bulk.
