Nikon SLR Cameras

Would it be safe to bring my camera outside in these conditions?

I finally found a sunny day where i have time to film a short film, however the winds are around 20-30 mph. I have a Nikon D5100. I was just wondering if it would be okay for me to bring it outside without any kind of harm done to the camera. I know this question is stupid, but you can never be too careful, especially with something so expensive.
Thanks!

Added (1). Thanks, I was just making sure.
And of course I wouldn't change lenses out there, never!

Just take good care of it, ware the neck strap and don't fall over.

Winds aren't a problem. Shoot away.

It would be a good idea, if you're changing lenses outside, to stay out of the wind and any dust. But that's pretty much the only precaution.

I would not change lenses outside at all. You don't want dust to get into your camera.

If you don't drop it, the wind shouldn't harm the camera. Keeping the camera from shaking can be a problem. If possible you may want to find a shooting position from which there's some structure to break the wind. If you must use a tripod it is best to have a heavy one, and adjust the legs to a very shallow angle to keep it from blowing over. Spreading out the tripod legs like that is how I got this shot on a very windy day.

What looks like fog in the 1/10th second exposure is windblown snow.
