Engineer interested in mapping with balloons but my area is very windy.
Public Lab is an open community which collaboratively develops accessible, open source, Do-It-Yourself technologies for investigating local environmental health and justice issues.
I am at high altitude (6,000 ft) and if there is even 5 m.p.h. it is near impossible to fly. I am using high grade helium from a welding shop and still struggle with any sort of wind.
Solved, ballons --> no wind, kites --> wind :)

Hi @edugil
The rule of thumb I've used in the past is if the wind is over 10mph, go for a kite! check out these wiki pages: - https://publiclab.org/wiki/aerial-photography - https://publiclab.org/wiki/how-to-map
