If it lands because of low battery, I doubt it would blink and beep very long - never tried it...

Hello there Doug. Thank you for reaching out and for these information you have shared. The DJI Find My Drone feature shows the location of your DJI Mavic Mini at the last point it had contact with the DJI Fly application. So if your Mini goes down while connected it will lead you right to the said drone's location. In addition, The DJI Find My Drone works as long as you have connection to the drone and it still has power. Thank you.

As a test, I left one of my Minis powered (not running) until the FULLY CHARGED battery died. Took 3 hours.

Ok thanks. I’m sure many have wondered the same and will appreciate your answer.
I’m surprised it was only three hours without the motors running but I believe you.
So I’m guessing if lost at a low battery then we only have minutes to get to,it.

At least we still have the last known gps location on the map.
Again thank you.

"At least we still have the last known gps location on the map."

As long as it did not fly out of range, then the last position is of no use at all. Once it gets out of range out the transmitter, the last known GPS reading is useless.

Be careful, if left on the floor too long, it will overheat, as it doesnt have a cooling fan.

As I have said many times before, I use this simple "stand" for my drones:
