Today I actually managed to get a flight in between the crappy weather here in the UK.

I wanted to understand what happens when I initiated RTH, and after visually and then analyzing the flight log was surprised what I found.

1) Hit RTH button

2) Preassend MM didn't change it's heading but rises 4.5 M

3) The MM rotates and aligns with the home point

4) Increases altitude to RTH height setting

5) Flies at P mode speed to above the home point.

By hit you mean press and hold? or just a quick touch?
Just one touch should pause it.

Hi,

Looks like MM RTH procedure is different than Spark and MA.
Did a RTH on my new MM, fly height 13 meters and RTH height 30.

Press RTH button on RC:
1) climb from 13 to 19 meters (heading not changed)
2) align to home heading
3) further ascend to 30 meters
4) fly towards home.

MA does first step 2) than 3) and 4).

cheers
JJB

You can still use controller for more speed altitude orientation but not direction .

Hi. Thank you for sharing your insights with regards to this RTH process of the the DJI Mavic Mini. Yes, the drone is following the standard process for the RTH. For reference, I will be posting an image about the RTH process. Thank you.
