Wind resistance - how much better is a large platform?

I just got my first Multirotor (AR Drone not counting :shame: ), a F450 with WKM, but because of the weather I haven't had much flight time. Today I was out on my first outside flight and was actually pretty impressed by the WKM's ability to hold position and handle the wind.

Seeing the video from my hard mounted GoPro got me thinking about how big a difference there is between a F450 and a larger platform like a Cinestar or a SkyJib when it comes to providing smooth footage in the wind. The wind was blowing around 6-8 M/S today.

Obviously a stabilized gimbal would have helped, but on a Cinestar og DW HL og SkyJib platfom what wind range do you consider acceptable for smooth video?

Cheers
