USING THE DJI MINI 5 PRO INDOORS WITH PROP GUARDS

Hey everyone — I've been shooting a lot of indoor manufacturing content lately and running into drift issues with my drone. I understand GPS is unavailable indoors and the vision positioning system has real limitations, so I'm not chasing a hardware fix — I'm looking for operational strategies.

The environment is a large active manufacturing floor with high ceilings, industrial HVAC, and a mix of surface types underfoot. I've already ruled out calibration as the root cause.

Current settings:
• Obstacle avoidance: OFF
• RTH behavior: Hover

A few specific questions:
1. Any recommended flight techniques or positioning strategies that help stabilize vision-based hover in this kind of environment?
2. Floor surface and lighting tips that have worked for you?
3. For those who've flown both — is the Mavic 3 Pro Cine meaningfully more stable indoors than the Mini 5 Pro? The weight difference is significant and I'm wondering if it holds position better in light turbulence from HVAC.
