Today I took my Mini out for a flight, the mini did not return to home and somehow had the same footage like that in your youtube video. The sad about it is that I lost my drone, it went further away as soon as the return to home is activated. I want to file a report to DJI on this...sounds like a manufacturer's defect software or hardware or both interface !

to be precise the drone fails to RTH and crashed at a distance of 570 meters at the height of less then 200 meters

Mavic Mini Camera pointing straight down, suddenly jumps few degrees upwards, ruining the footage. does any one is experiencing this also?
It happen every time, 3 days in a row, at first i was thinking it was the wind, but not any more.
It is my first drone I am not sure if I should return it or DJI release a firmware after people complain?

i notice that behavior today, but its seems for me it jappen only in sport mode

This is why all blue zones around red zones should be red zones if you are on a Mini.  Being able to pull 65mph w/o an Inspire 2, w/o massive winds is no way pilot error.

But seriously though, the fact the Mini can pull 65mph... it really can be done performance wise....

Hi KlooGee, we are so sorry to hear about the problems that you encountered. Could you please help to provide the below information? We'd like to forward it to our engineers for analysis. Thank you in advance.
1. The serial number of your drone.
2. The original videos from the drone.

Lots of pixelation and shaking for my mini...no wind, sunny day, fling in slow cinema mode...not happy..

3days in my DJI Mavic Mini was 30ft away from me at approx. 6ft off the ground.... GPS signal suddenly loses connection kicked it into Attitude Mode....my hands were off the controls...it sped horizontally about 20ft...hit a tree and flew off into a river... GONE... I've sent all the flight records into DJI and all they offered was 14% off a new DJI Mavic Mini...  I was shocked when it flew away so I Googled it when I got home. Looks like there are a ton of posts about the issue with the DJI Fly App and Android v10...  My Fly Away was on 1.11.20 and a DJI Fly App/Android v10 patch/fix was released on 1.14.20.   They haven't responded to my last message from a couple days ago...  Weak.

I can't afford to buy another $500 DJI Mavic Mini.... Does anyone have any suggestions for a solid under $300 small foldable Drone with a decent camera?   Gracias

I would suggest you start a new thread (not in this one) and post a link to your flight record.  Maybe someone here will be able to provide you with some details to go back to DJI with.

It appears as the result of broken storage (microSD) rather than a fault with the drone.

Hello! Recently I bought a DJI Mavic mini. When I went on the app store in order to download the application I noticed the comments bellow from users that they had problems with the new version of Android 10. I followed the instructions from the application and download the manual from the DJI official web page and read carefully the manual. I was ready for the first flight of my brand new drone. While the drone was flying suddenly I lost the control of the drone.the result was to hit on a wall and fell down. Does someone has similar problems with his drone? Another problem that I notice was that I couldn't land the drone..the surface was clean without obstacles. Is there any connection problems with android 10?

If you want help understanding what may have happened with your drone, I would suggest opening a new thread and posting a link to your uploaded log file.  I'm sure you will very likely get several people willing to have a look at it and give some feedback.

You can upload your log here:  https://www.phantomhelp.com/LogViewer/Upload/
In regards to the drone saying the surface wasn't suitable for landing, it happens occasionally.  If it really is okay to land, just use the left stick (assuming Mode 2) and pull it back and hold it back.  This will force it to land at its current location.  Just keep holding the stick back until the props stop turning.

Dear KlooGee, thank you for your feedback, since I am not familiar with that procedure ( it was the first flight of my drone and now is damaged) I will try to find the flight documents, because honestly speaking I do not know where I have to search for them..As soon as I can upload them i will follow your instructions because it is very important for my to understand why i couldn't control my drone and finally that heats on a wall (. Regarding the landing surface it was clean  it was flat and another important factor it was night, without winds. From my point of view the weather conditions were perfect and since the moment that I lost the control of the drone it was flighing up to 4m. far away from me and the remote control.

When i realize that the drone will hit on the wall, i tried to take the control and change the direction, but unfortunately the drone didnt respond.

The directions for getting your logs is on the page I provided.  

Night time is a tough time to fly, especially for your first flight.  Drones have 3 systems that basically help them understand where they are (GPS, Compass, Vision System).  If any of them aren't able to do their jobs well, the risk of a bad outcome significantly increases.

GPS - the drone needs to have a clear view to the sky and quite often can take a minute or longer the first time you turn it on in order for it to find the satellites and lock into its location.  If you took off without letting a good GPS location get locked in, this could have contributed to the behavior you saw.

Compass - the drone uses the compass to know which direction it is facing and compares that to the accelerators to determine if it is turning or not.  If your compass was experiencing magnetic interference from something magnetic nearby (such as rebar in a concrete slab), this could have contributed to the behavior you saw.

Vision System:  The Mavic Mini has downward facing cameras that it uses to help it know how far it is off the ground when it is close the ground.  It also uses it to help know if it is moving by tracking objects underneath it.  If it was dark out, the vision system would not have been able to function and do its job and can contribute to negative outcomes, especially if the GPS or Compass also was not in ideal conditions.

I get exactly the same thing, in my intial flights it was a perfect little drone, and the range, although not as good as my mavic pro, was acceptible.  But lately flying it a hundred meters away I consistantly loose video completely, I can still control the drone, and see where it is on a map, and even see the drone is responding to my commands, but I just get connection lost for the video feed.  This makes the drone completely useless.  Sad as I was happy with the flymore combo and bought the care refresh, never been crashed, or roughly treated, simply doesn't work.  Guess I am going to be chasing refunds.  (bought it directly from DJI's Sydney store so at least that's something.  I'll keep you all posted.

Yeah, the behavior you describe sounds like a possible prop or motor failure.
