You just saw clear data of altitude hold problems over water at a specific altitude when vps sensors were activated. VPS sensors were not activated again until over land. These situations DO NOT HAPPEN OVER LAND WHATSOEVER. The ONLY time it happens, and it's been multiple. is OVER WATER. And it doesn't happen all the time. But WATER is the common denominator here. Just because you do not have problems with this, does not mean they do not exist for others. You claim you can look at the data and it will determine the problem... So what was my problem? Is my VPS bad?
I've had a Mavic Mini descend when low over fairly shallow water, this was at the end of a 'speed run' and it was visible with my eyes on the drone.
Rather than get into a debate with anyone I'd suggest that you just 'accept' that it can happen, which you seem to have done, and watch the drone like a hawk when low over water. Preferably with eyes on the drone rather than the screen, and be ready to counter any uncommanded descent if you even think it is happening, better safe than sorry.
If I am low over water my thumb is ready to give the drone throttle if I even think I detect a descent, better to lose the view than the drone.
Generally, for me, low over water will either be
a) at the end of a commanded vertical descent, to get the view/shot, followed by a climb back to a 'safe' height or
b) at very slow horizontal speeds, the above "speed run" was, for me, a one of and has not been repeated.
