Like I said take care with all the smart features. In this particular case with low battery protection with RTH. I was flying in park and starting walking between trees with the mavic in tripod mode filming the patways the trees  flowers etc...i walked along the park some distance...all in all I call the shoot done and preparing to catch the drone in hand because tall grass...strting the drone descend with one hand raised to catch the drone then the drone ascended a little ...I presumed that I disturbed the ultrasonic sensors ...then preparing for another carefull try when the drone started quickly to ascend ...imediately backed down the trothle full and this keeped the drone in place...glanced on the screen and observed that the RTH because low battery enaugh only to reach home position...managed to cancel it an then landed in hand...lucky that I was not under a tree or something...

Then the lesson...don't forget to constantly update home position at the remote or aircraft when walking with the drone...and keep an eye on the battery...to not be surprised by the drone taking height in a tree because it is smart

Next time, when you walk the Mavic, you should turn off the smart RTH and choose hover when lose signal  because the Mavic always near you
