Hi!
There I need advice for the most experienced ...

How to get past the phobia of filming and photographing above the water to avoid bad experiences of impromptu descent?

_ Should I avoid calm waters?

_ Should I stay high and which would be good?

_ Turbulent waters like falls, are rapids less hazardous for this activity?

If you have other tips or sites, videos that talk about the subject in order to do well without having this famous stress, I take everything!

Hopefully it can help other amateur and new drone players like me.

Thank you

The most important thing to remember is not hover
to low over the water, especially calm waters. Also when
flying over water if its windy, fly into the wind so on the return
the wind helps pushes you back to shore. I have flown over
water many many times and I still get nervous or stress.
To help build your confidence try flying the shoreline first and build from there.

Hi there, we do not fly close to a reflective surface such as water as this type of terrain may affect the performance of the vision system and cause flight hazards. For turbulent waters, please do not fly too close as the Mavic Mini is not waterproof.
