Hello,
Is there any way to change or disable the minium flight height? The sensors keep sending my drone higher and it won't let me go to a certain altitude before lands the drone. I know there are ways to disable it on other versions of the drone that are known but am unsure about this drone specifically. Covering one or both sensors does not work, I am looking for a different solution to this problem that will still provide me with the same flight stability.

Thank you.

There is no way to disable the downward sensors on any DJI drone that uses the DJI Fly app.

Have a look, from 4:32,  at

NOTE if you are flying indoors ( GPS presumed to be not suficient ) this will likely result in the Mavic Mini switching to ATTI mode, where the drone will neither brake nor hold position and YOU will be responsible for ALL control of horizontal movement.
I wouldn't recommend that if you are a new pilot.

Hi there. Thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately, we do not have the option to disable the Downward Vision Sensor of the DJI Mavic Mini via the DJI Fly application for safety purposes. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Thank you for responding! Is there anyway to change the minimum altitude from the ground from .5 meters to like 0.127 meters because that's about the clearance needed for my maneuvers.

See this thread on the MavicPilots forum discussing what the downward sensors do and how to get around your problem.
