Can the Mavic fly inside a cave? I know it will lose GPS signal quickly but as long as the drone doesn't act crazy I can fly it manually. I don't plan on flying it in far, may 100' from the opening where the light basically ends.
I've never tried the foil trick but I agree manually being able to engage ATTI is a needed feature.Too bad the Mavic can't be switched to ATTI mode by the pilot. I would be worried that there will be an interval before the Mavic switches to ATTI and the compass is compromised. Maybe a piece of aluminum foil over the top of the Mavic to keep it in ATTI mode.
Ugh, it seems FedEx lost my drone. So it may be longer than I thought.

I flew in a cave.. a rather large one (Hang En in Vietnam), so my situation may not be what you are doing.
I had no GPS, vision sensor was in and out (mostly out), and I had to manually compensate for air currents that were circulating. Even though I was in the third largest cave in the world, I was worried about being blown into into a side ( you can look closely at the tents and see them blowing in the wind).
Good luck!
