Is it possible to do USB-debugging on Android when Phone's USB port is already used?

Problem: I'd like to run an app on my Phone from my laptop, via USB, using Android Studio, while my phone is physically connected to another USB device (a remote controller for a drone).

In this case, I have:

Problem is the phone obviously only has 1 USB port, so can't connect to both the laptop and the controller.

Question: Is it possible (with a USB hub or maybe connecting both phone and controller to computer?) to do usb debugging on phone from laptop while phone communicates via USB to controller?

Note: I have successfully connected laptop-to-phone with WIFI-debugging before, but the connection can be a bit slow and laggy so it would be nice if it was possible with USB. Additionally I am not able to do this while my phone is working as the internet hotspot for the laptop (so I need to bring in yet another hotspot device).

Since you have an Android 11 phone, you can use "Pair device using Wifi". In this way you can run the app into your phone from your pc.

Only option you have is to use the dji bridge app on a second phone. It also uses the wifi, so I doubt it will work better than wifi-adb.
