Since Mavic is so tiny, it is quite common to land on a rough surface  comparing the size of the dron and the type of the surface (grass,  gravel, ...). In such situation I rather land in to my  hand carefully, which is nothing extraordinary - I guess, everybody does  it. My point is, how to stop the engines. Typically, I pull  down left stick all the way till it stops, of course. But at that moment  Mavic is starting to panic, trying to fly away. Of course - I think  this is due to the visual sensors on the bottom. You can feel the strong  force generated from the propellers and must hold the dron's body quite  tight
Please, does anybody has an advice how to stop the engines slowly and  nicely (without Mavic's panic) like when it is on the surface after  automatic landing? Is it possible to turn off visual sensors by some  easy tap in the app before manual landing (I know about the sliders in settings)? Or any other trick? Thank you for your hints.

Thank you, that helped.

I read turning it on it's side will shut the motors down.
I've also seen people starting a landing procedure and quickly hold their hand below the AC while it has started descending (it was on the Spark forum, but I think it will work for MP also).

If you turn off Landing protection it won't fight you when you land in your hand it shuts right off

You will still have Precision landing and all that good stuff
