My first follow me mission test over water with a gps-tracker.

My first test with a gps tracker over water:

A little more jerky than I was hoping for, but I used a quite old phone as gps-tracker so it might be better with a newer one.

I was nervous, I think I never been so glad to se my drone on the beach when I got back

.
Have anyone tried this floatation things? How much do they impact speed and battery life?

If your drone fell into the water from that height it would probably be stuffed, anyway! Spend the money elsewhere. ??

Mavic 2 zoom, but the follow me app works for all dji drones.
Will test it in 25knots tomorrow and in swell.
Location:
Strömstad sweden.

Do you kitesurf?
