DJI Mini 3 Pro 'Return To Home' Tutorial for Beginners

Here is a little video going over all the aspects of "Return To Home" for the DJI Mini 3. If you are a new or beginner drone pilot you may be a little apprehensive about what happens if you fly your drone too far and become disconnected or perhaps your battery gets too low. The DJI Mini 3 has 3 types of "return to home". Manual "return to home" when you initiate it yourself, Fail-Safe "return to home" and low battery "return to home". In this video tutorial, I demonstrate how to use "return to home" and some tips that you should know about. I also demonstrate a low battery and fail-safe "return to home" so you will know exactly what happens and will feel more confident flying your DJI Mini 3 Pro.

I really really appreciate this video, especially demonstrating the "failure" RTH modes. I just got my Mini 3 Pro, my very first drone, and the idea of losing it absolutely terrifies me. This put me at ease quite a bit. Thank you!

You're a brave man, Sean. (Im still reluctant to use my right joystick let alone fly out of range to test Return to Home). Good to see these safety features in real life. 👍

Being a new drone pilot, this really helps my flying anxiety and I think I made the right buy for my first drone. Thank you.

[patoconnor]

Thank you for such clarity and completeness about the return to home operation. I have not seen it ever presented so well. Thank you for what you’re doing.

[georgedanilov]

That’s a lot of anxiety removed for a brand new beginners like myself - I’ve just got my first - DJI mini 3 few days ago

Thank you for this very clear demo!

Thank you so much! Today was the first day my drone performed a automatic Return To and it went straight up into the air! Uggghhh. From you I found out I had set the RTH altitude to about 200 feet (60 meters). I was just terrorized by this and then it did exactly what it should do and landed right where it should. Thank you so much for explaining this so well!

[CaliforniaLivin]

Wow this makes me feel confident that my drone will always return. Thanks bro

[williamherchenroder]

Incredible Tutorial videos. You have answered so many questions I've had. Being a Newbee to Drone flying you give me the confidence I need to get off the ground without being too apprehensive about losing this machine. I think I can I actually enjoy flying with some confidence thanks to you.

[gerrykp]

thank you thank you! this was a much needed video! I am a new licensed Mini 3 Pro user and I have the beginners “I am going to lose my drone” nerves. This really helped ease those fears! as a matter of fact I am going to follow your instruction and try it out myself. thanks again!

[prateshramjohn]

Thank you so much. This video helped me feel a bit more comfortable purchasing a drone and trusting I won't mess it up.

[alexmanson]

Thank you for taking the time, you have giving me more confidence in the drones technology. The Mini 3Pro is my first ever drone. I always get nervous when I see the signal drop.

[jedjones]

Nice straight forward easy to follow instructions 👍

[athirath]

Great demonstration of all the various RTH modes. Especially knowing about the Home point update feature. Thank you so much.

[unicornconservationco]

This was excellent. Thank you! I keep my drone in a fairly close range because I've been terrified of the drone disconnecting. It's good to see how it works.

[gillycruz]

Thanks a lot for this video! I’m new to drones and this answer many questions I have. Thanks!!!

[georgekelly]

Thank you Shawn. I always enjoy you tutorials and reviews. Cheers from Wisconsin.

[RonaldBrown]

Nice tutorials for beginners, and good reminder for drone veterans how these features work. So sorry about your range and signal issues, but keep talking about it and making video's on it. It keeps the pressure on DJI to fix it for all users. Thanks for sharing.

[Tomedy]

Great tutorial, thanks. Wish I’d found this before I lost my drone this morning. Expensive lesson learned! 😢

[Faluthe]

Great video covering practical scenarios a flyer will face in the field. Thank you for shairing!.
