TL;DR

The OP asks if it's worth considering the added value for adding pressure switches on the sides to do something completely unnecessary and would likely introduce an undesirable failure point. Having launched and caught the mavic by hand hundreds of times, IMO the answer is no... it's not worth...

Or just catch it without problems... I've done it hundreds of times...

Why would you need someone to forward a YouTube video link to your email?

That's awesome! Unfortunately when you're MTBing in actual mountains they have severe elevation changes and whatnot so you have to be much further away and it doesn't look as good.

Don't film beach parties with a drone. That's the answer.

That's one of the worst places to ski I've ever seen...☺️

I think litchi would track something like that better than DJI go

Any confidence that they'll have actually addressed the problem? The cracks expand quite a bit when pressing on the retention buttons...Makes me think it's a design flaw...

I have the exact same problem with my original battery in the basic package. What did you find out from DJI?

Where in the world did you quote that from? I sure hope official literature uses better editing than that...Either way, anybody with a mavic will you you that it's pretty hard to see the thing (clear VLOS) even at 400 feet...So the point is moot.

Of course it's possible...But I'd put my money on the most likely scenario.

What's a Mivic? And how did you get the pro version? ☺️

As a licensed private pilot, do you want drones sharing uncontrolled airspace with you while you're in your rented 172?

Maybe try turning the controller off before putting it away? Really though...What's more likely here, that the controller was never actually turned off or that nature miraculously completed the proper sequence to turn it on?
