Advertising blimps handle wind much better than balls, balloons or tubes. The big advantage of a blimp is that it has tail fins that cause it to act like a weathervane, keeping the nose always pointed into the wind. Wind will push a ball or balloon over to the side and down to the ground, while blimps will remain in flight.  Excessive wind (over 25 mph) can cause damage to the blimp, possibly ripping or tearing tether patches and other parts of the blimp. 10 ft. blimps shouldn't fly if wind speeds are exceeding 15 mph.

This is one of our customers Bill Yates and his kids, walking along with his 21' blimp. Bill uses the blimp for his aerial photography business in Jacksonville, Florida. Note the camera hanging below the blimp.

Most people don't realize how easy blimps are to use. Our 10 ft, 13 ft, 15 ft ,18ft and 21ft blimps come with tail fins and their guy lines attached and ready to inflate. You take them out of their box, fill them with helium, attach them to an anchor point and let them go up the full length of their tether lines (135 feet). There is no mystery about flying an advertising blimp. Instructions come with each size blimp, explaining how much helium is needed, where to get it, and what to do about everything.
