Launching from boat - Mini 4 Pro went straight into the sea

[Max Headroom]

You don't have a theory ... you have guesses that are only supported by the number of other people repeating the same guesses.

You seem to keep deliberately ignoring the fact DJI have stated in their manual that APAS system may not function properly over water its not a guess on my behalf its a theory based on the information given by DJI themselves.



You keep on clutching those straws if it makes you feel better

So, DJI claims "improper operation" (launching from moving platform, I guess I moved my hand a bit or the boat was swinging in the breeze), but they're making an exception and sending me replacement for free. Huge props to them for that!

And I guess I'll have to reevaluate the risk of launching the drone from the boat, maybe that's just not for me - landings and birds can be really stressful).
