Hey guys I was wondering what would be some of the best fail safe systems to have for your Mavic 2 when things go bad and the drone falls/crashes or whatever into bushlands / oceans / rivers and then recovery becomes the main concern. The whole idea is to avoid it in the first place but if it does happen then DJI Care Refresh is only gonna be effective if you can give them the actual drone back.
So far I've been looking into the different scenarios and what accessories would be best, love to hear any thoughts, opinions & real world tests.
RIVERS / OCEANS
Arris Raptor2 Skid for the DJI Mavic 2
I bought this actually just for the fact that the pontoon attachment seemed to lock in quite strongly and if the drone did happen to fall into a ocean or river it would float even upside down with water filling up inside the drone. I've emailed to see if I can get confirmation on whether or not the pontoon attachment would actually be able to float a fully submerged Mavic 2 Pro.

GetterBack Depth Activated Recovery System
This one looks super useful for when the drone may fall into a river, it won't float the drone but it will indicate where it is so you have the chance of retrieving it and they're pretty cheap!

BUSHLAND / TREES
DroneKeeper mini2
I haven't bought this yet but I think it would be a life save especially if you lose line of sight and the drone falls into dense bushes ect. A loud ping gets emitted and should make finding your drone heaps easier.
