how does it handle in windy conditions?

I have used the SGM-1X mostly outdoors and have found that wind noise is acceptable in light winds with the included foam wind screen. If you add a "fur" type wind screen (Movo WS3 Furry Outdoor Microphone Windscreen Muff for Large Shotgun Microphones - Amazon), it will work OK in moderate winds. Bear in mind that trees, flags and other ambient wind sounds will be heard in the wind.

It is better than most in a light wind, gusting winds will flip it but normal light breezes it is fine.

Yes, it is very strong . We used it when it was windy and it was ok and as we can change the position it is very convenient to be able to be protected against the wind

No wind problems. We use ours on wood floors. We angle the outer panels to provide additional stability.

It tends to get windy here as long as you have it anchored down with all the doors and windows closed you should be fine. We had wind gusts over 40 mph with no issues.

I have flown this outside on windy days and calm days. Calm days are great, but it has a hard time fighting almost any breeze.

I have the Hooligan 4-person and have used it during a heavy rain storm and it was fine. Wind gusts were probably 5-10 MPH

I've had this umbrella over six months with almost daily use for sun protection, and live just a few miles from the coast in Southern California. It gets very windy here. The umbrella does great in wind compared to others I've had. There are wind vents, and a strap at the end of the handle (which is kind of awkward in shape but I've gotten used to it), that you can have around your wrist as an extra precaution to keep it in your grasp. Recommending it for windy areas.

It hasn't tipped over on me yet and we've had 50 mph plus wind gusts. However, in high winds, it has blown across my deck when I didn't have the wheels locked.

I have it placed in my yard so it does not get direct wind. We have had wind gust up to plus 30 mph and have had no problems. I made 4 stake out of 3/8 x 2ft rebar and placed them on the corners with no tie downs. If you are going to place it in direct wind I would plan on getting bigger stakes and tie down line. The frame looks like it will hold up to high wind. Hope this answer your question.

Yes, it can withstand high winds and so far it has lasted without any problems.

Have only had winds around 25-30 mph and a fence protecting one side... but so far so good. I have had it set up for over a year and no problems.

As far as winds, it can handle up to 15 mph as long as it is attached to a fixed object like a fence. One thing I notice is that the sun really beats it up and there are holes all over the top of it after just two years of exposure.

It will be fine. I use mine without tying it down all the time. If the wind picks up I put my heavy back pack in it. I've put it on the beach, in the woods on pine needles. I've tossed it up on my driveway several times to show people how easy it is. I love it, if the wind does pick-up to about 15-20 knots, even with the heavy back pack in it, it will twist and maybe scoot a little.

It flies 35 MPH so that's about all it can handle as far as a wind gust. I have flown mine at the beach several times without losing control. As you should know, the beach gets windy.

I was concerned about that myself when we purchased the shelter. We live on top of a mountain in the country and have had wind gust up to 50-60 mph this winter. We have had absolutely no problems with it. I did put it by a row of trees to help protect it and staked it down with additional re-bar and clamps. the canopy and structure have held up well.

We haven't had winds that strong since I installed it but I think it will hold up if installed properly. The anchors seem very well made to me. Hope that helps.
