That does really seem strange, especially since it straightened up just before descending to land.

I did one more test somewhere else and it behaved properly so Im chalking it up to the wind,   I rarely use the RTH anyway so not a big deal.

I've tested RTH on each drone just to observe how it functions.  However, like you, I prefer not to use it, especially since I hand recover 99.9% of the time.  I still can't believe how incredibly low the Mini 3 sits, so just another reason to hand launch/recover.

I have landed the mini3 on the ground a few times but for the most part I either land on the sea wall if Im down at the creek or I hand catch as I have had it fall over a few times when landing.

I hear on that.  I'm just really not comfortable with landing on a pad or whatever in lieu of the Mini 3 not having any legs to speak of.  Those "nubs" just make it sit way to low to the ground and would be very easy to kick up things to injest in a motor or force through one of the air intake vents.

Yes,  its better to be safe than sorry.

For sure it is.  I guess  the only reason DJI cut off the legs was to keep weight down, especially since it appears the gimbal assembly is heavier than on Mini 2 and for sure the OA sensors have to of added a bit of weight.  So DJI had to cut weight somewhere else and off went the legs.  I think the body (shell) is thinner than on Mini 2 also.

And also the needed cooling fan.

True.  I wonder if the fan really weighed that much or was it a combo of fan weight and drawing voltage?   

In any case I sure wish they would have left it in.

Have you noticed that in the wind with the gimbal at -90 those little numb fit can pop up in the footage or image?

Not yet. Can you show an example.

Haven't seen that yet, but then again I haven't flown much on windy days.

Been spending time helping a friend's son who is struggling in his college business law class so it has somewhat minimized my flying these past few days.  Shame he didn't need help during that week or two where we had rain everyday and I couldn't get out to fly.

Its always the way though isn't it.   I always have chores on the best flying days.

A bit of karma involved it seems.  

Hi all!!!

Since the update i have 2 problems:

Sounds like the frame rate might be too high.  

Sounds good!

Took the chance between too big rain clouds to test.
I have calibrated the RC and the Mini 3 Pro, because the compas view was 90 degrees off.
Then i discovered that it depends on which compass view you use.

> Classic View with drone in the center -> everything is ok again.

In my case that's the same, but ...

> New View with RC in the center -> still moving or jumping around.

... in this new view I have no moving, but the directions are wrong by around 180°, that means it shows South where North should be.
