We had a stormy evening, with strong southerlies and we took the Canon XF200 out on our heaviest tripod, plus the Rode VideoMic Pro. We kept the tripod low, yet despite this there was a bit of wind shake, which we corrected with the Adobe Premiere Warp Stabiliser and the Rode wind screen kept most of the noise away. But the main trick is to position the gear out of the wind. Even moving a few feet we found the odd place to shelter. The other trick is to use your body to provide protection to the camera. And like the birds, point into the wind!
