I am new at flying drones. I have a whole 45 minutes of flight time logged so far. LOL. When I signal the drone to RTH. it does. But, It always lands one to two feet from the landing pad it took off from. Is there something I can do to address this?

That's completely normal and the kind of accuracy you can expect from consumer grade GPS.I am new at flying drones. I have a whole 45 minutes of flight time logged so far. LOL.

Thanks for the info.!Fly it onto the landing pad manually. It's a basic flight skill you need to have. You don't want to depend on RTH to do your landings.
(You may not be climbing straight up after takeoff and hovering long enough for the drone to take the photos it needs.)
Does the Mini 3 have the Precision Landing feature that needs this?(You may not be climbing straight up after takeoff and hovering long enough for the drone to take the photos it needs.)
The Mavic 2 Pro, Mavic 3 and also the Air 2S are pretty accurate. RTK drones using the base stations or service are the most amazing ones as far as I know.I was shocked to find out the accuracy of consumer GPS is only 5 meters. Plus, it gets worse if you are around buildings and wires.
They are only as (in)accurate as any other DJI drone using consumer GPS ... usually within +/- 2.5 metres, but can be up to 5 metres.
Cost of replacement batteries and the possibility of an Air 3 on the horizon?The Air 2S is so capable much better than the Mini 3 Pro and people are selling them like Junk price. I cant understand.
On take off from landing pad go straight up 25 - 30' and hold for about 5 seconds. Should solve your problem unless you have compass or GPS issues.I am new at flying drones.

This will not take any effect with the Mini, Mini 2, Mini 3, Mini 3 Pro. That procedure is for precision landing and they lacks of that feature.On take off from landing pad go straight up 25 - 30' and hold for about 5 seconds. Should solve your problem unless you have compass or GPS issues.
I must have got a lemon . My Mini 3 Pro seems to be hitting the mark pretty good on RTH. The times I notice it being off the mark occasionally by a meter or two are during extremely windy conditions. No matter what, I always bring it in manually for safety sake. I did the same with my Air 2S as well. Just like the range issues that dog us…RTH issues seem to be dependent upon your areas signal characteristics too. Maybe I’m wrong. Just a thought though.This will not take any effect with the Mini, Mini 2, Mini 3, Mini 3 Pro. That procedure is for precision landing and they lacks of that feature.
I never say they can land all the time off by 10-12 FT. They some time land on the spot. But it can be very off.
