Flying close to water???

You don't say which drone this refers to, but I find it very hard to believe.
Every Mavic, Air, Mini, Inspire and Phantom since at least 2015 records the flight data from every flight.

M3.
Do you know what is the 1001 firmware?

Google suggests that it's Russian hacked firmware.
If you are flying with hacked Russian firmware, you do that at your own risk.

I have a question for you Meta4
I plan on photographing colourful trees near a lake and want to descend from straight above and hover close to the water. Does going straight up and down pose a risk? I won't be flying low over the water to get to the spot I want to capture the images.
Thanks in advance.

Why can’t you start from the hovering position, then climb to get the shot you want to make, then reverse it in post. It means that you’ll be concentrating on getting the low point correct without being distracted by getting the shot.
