Flying Over Water - Some Results and Tips

[Class V Gear]

I can confirm the drift when sensors are disabled. For my application of the mavic, the drift is really unnerving. My mavic ascends when the sensors "freak out" over water. Given my application is over Idaho whitewater. I often use the active track mode, so disabling the sensors isn't a good idea. I'm still looking for options or solutions to ascension problem. In addition do you if the mavic can or will descend with you? I attached this video for reference. Thanks in advance!

Any pics of these floats?? Seems like those white balls would mess up the handling capabilities and are something you could pick up at Micheals for a couple dollars...

Great idea for 10 bucks on Amazon for 3. I agree about flight characteristics being thrown off and acting like a kite in he wind with the white balls.
