Hello guys! I was flying my Mavic Air 2 in Sport Mode & by my mistake I descended too low without paying proper attention to the drone's speed & I've literally managed to do a last second save from crashing the drone in the sea water.
It seems like Karma saved me.
Hope you guys like the video.
I've learned my lesson now.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuWctnqMhC0

Hello there mystical_journey. I am sorry for the trouble this has caused and thank you for sharing this video you have captured using your DJI Mavic Air 2.  Just a reminder that when flying above the water, the vision positioning function will turn off automatically and only the GPS and barometer are used for positioning, if affected by the accuracy range, and an accident might happen. In addition I will also post a DJI Forum thread on How to Fly Safely Over Water. Again amazing work and please stay safe always.

Thank you. All manual control, not automated. I have tried the functions, but less things to rember handling the sticks myself. The only useful function for my purposes is the point of interest. However, no one seems to use it tofollow irregular shapes like circling buildings.  By moving closer or away from centre, you can run parallel to walls and corners and this is a doddle. It looks impressive on screen. Give it a try.
