    Interesting experiment. I did not expect the result.

    I think you can turn landing protection off with the Litchi app.

    MM and Litchi

    I use a micro USB to female USB adapter that works good. Then you can just use your regular charging cable.

    Drone Flight Over Water Checklist?

    I have DJI care On my Mavic Pro so as long as I can recover it from the water it’s covered under warranty.

    Better follow me mode

    You could use the Litchi app and then link another gps phone to it using Litchis magic leash app. Just found out about it myself and haven’t had time to try it yet. Saw a video of a Mavic using it and it seemed to work well.
