HI, I am a newbie with almost 50 hours of flying drones....( about 15 hours with my new Mini 3 Pro) Can you please help me solving this mystery. Display is my tablet not connected to the internet so whenever app asks me to unlock "Authorization zone" I switch to my phone, unlock the app, then connect remote back to the tablet. This time I must have skipped that (I think) and before app asked to unlock I already "started the engines". The scary moments began when I wanted to RTH but I couldn't ! There was no wind and even in S mode and at full speed my drone barely moved - the ONLY moves were up and down. I managed to walk directly below the drone and caught it by hand. But what if this happened in the middle of a river? Also fortunately I had enough battery to play with it. I still don't know what happened!

I would advise uploading your flightlog and posting the URL link to it here so that Labroides and JJB* and others can take a look and perhaps advise, suspect its related to the zone though... go here and follow the instructions, any isses reply back here https://www.phantomhelp.com/LogViewer/upload/

This could be a recent problem with control updates in the app. I had a similar problem with my M3 not responding to RTH or landing. I thought it was just me....but I am not new to this.

Under certain versions of the app return to home does not work if you are very close to the home point.

Also did you wait till the home point was set before you took off
If the geozone wasn't not unlocked it would not have allowed the motors to start

thank you everybody for fast reply, I attached screen shots to better understand the situation.
As for me it looked like unlocking the "Authorization Zone" expired during the flight.
