During RTH pulling the left stick down (mode 2) on the DJI RC makes the Mini 3 Pro ascent instead of descent.

Hi, fans302fcd3a. Thank you for reaching out. Which RTH did you use? If it's Smart RTH when did you pull down the joystick? Is it during the Ascending, Straight line, or Landing Stage? Also, you have provided 2 versions, does that mean that this scenario happened twice? We will wait for your reply. Thank you.

Hi, This happens during straight line flight on both automatic low battery rth & manual activating rth with the onscreen 'button'.
At the time RTH is initiated the drone is already higher then the set RTH altitude.
I tend to lower the drone during rth when it's flying high to reduce head wind & landing time.

All my other drones do descent during this straight line flight (P3P,  M-Air, MP & M2P) when pulling down the left stick.

I was hoping this issue was resolved with the latest DJI RC firmware update but it's not, that's why I provided both.
Today I updated the AC to version 01.00.0450 and will test again tomorrow.
Edit 2023-02-13:Same issue with AC firmware v01.00.0450

I can PM you a relevant flight record. (I always download all flight records to my computer but do NOT synchronise them to DJI servers).

I had the absolute same problem.

I was thinking is this real or am i going crazy . It is 1000000% an issue on Mini 3 pro. if you are doing return to home in high winds. please be mindful that when pressing the stick down will make the drone go up.....

it was the most bizarre experience.

I will have to upload a log.

what i did when i notice was to take it out of the RTH mode and fly it manually as its behaviour worried me. It kept increasing height.
I will upload the log once i get a chance (I am sure in the meantime someone else will do that but its confirmed issue. the controller i was using was the RCN controller and not the smart controller)
