Is there a way to reduce the time taken (long press) to initiate the drag of a collection view cell?

Question

I've implemented drag and drop between three collection views using UICollectionViewDragDelegate and UICollectionViewDropDelegate and it seems to be working okay. The only issue is, I don't like the long press that's required to initiate the drag session. I can't find anything in the docs explaining how to override this behaviour so was wondering if one of you fine folks could help me out?

I can see a solution proposed by julsh in the following question - Ability to shorten UIDragInteraction's long press timing - which looks great... But I don't know how to implement it against a collection view cell?

If anyone has any ideas I'd really appreciate the help.

I found this which should help. I ran into the same problem and it turns out that the UICollectionView holds the gesture recognizers.
