It's not a race drone. That's a completely different audience. What do you mean underpowered? Compared to what?
It's possible for the maneuver to require so much sideways thrust that you will bleed some altitude and start to fall to the ground (granted on a racing drone this is probably measured in centimeters for most maneuvers, but you get the idea)
Racing drones usually have a thrust:weight ratio of 8:1 or so, but the large Mavik Pro has a thrust:weight of 2.5:1, and their smaller Spark a ratio of ~2:1. You need a minimum TWR of about 2:1 to be flyable.
If the Mavic Mini has a similar TWR as the spark, then it's very unlikely you'll be able to fly it in any sort of windy conditions.
I'm in the market for a drone at the moment (eyeing the mavic air over the mini to be honest) for holiday type shots, all this racing stuff is pointless as far as I'm concerned. I can't figure out based on your comment whether the wind will screw a wide shot or not, it might not make it through a circle, but i'll never get this drone through this sort of activity anyway.....
I realize now that the way I described it in my parent post doesn't make very much sense
I saw some quads with lateral DOFs that used swashplates and piston engines in the 40-50kg class, but then you basically have a helicopter with 4x the problems of a helicopter.
A drone needs to tilt to work against the wind, but this also increases its wind loading.
