power off by usb for R series

Hello. Please make the "power off by usb" function for the R series, in particular I have r6 mark II. The fact is that when the camera is connected via cable to the DJI RS5 stabilizer, the camera begins to be powered by the stabilizer and it acts as a power bank, thus quickly discharging. For 4 hours of shooting, the bundle of r6m2 and dji rs5, the camera did not lose a single division of the battery, and only 20% remained on the stabilizer. It's a very quick discharge. You need a USB power-off function so that the camera can be powered by its batteries, not by a stabilizer. This function is implemented on Sony cameras. Please do it too. In Bluetooth connection mode, it is not possible to control the iso, shutter, aperture functions through the ring on the stabilizer, which allows you to adjust the exposure without touching the camera.
They are available only when connected via cable. But in this case, the stabilizer starts to receive power to the camera and quickly discharges it. Thank you #r6m2 #poweroffusb
