Mavic mini-distance range flight problem

[MirzaMIKI50]

Hi guys,i am new to drone world.I bought the mavic mini (CE) edition in Europa.I have a problem.When I start flying,everything is ok in one direction,but when I turn around and start flying in the opposite direction it gives me only 50 meters limit flight in that diretion. I dont know what to do.I live next to my capital city.The whole city is under GEO zone and i cant even start to fly my drone in there but thats ok I understand that,but this problem which I have its happening outside the GEO zones.Is it possible to make a limit to my flight because I am moving in the GEO zone even thought the GEO zone is a few kilometers away from my home point.If someone can help me it would really mean a lot to me.
P.S Check the pics for the GEO zones that I am talking about

Why are you in payload mode? Have you attached anything to your drone?

 

[MirzaMIKI50]

I didnt chose that mode it came like that.How can I exit that mode, and on drone is added protection propellers that came with drone and I bought a landing gear(exstended legs) for it. THX for the replay.

Setting > Safety > Advanced Settings > Payload Mode just turn it off to override the flight limits

 

[MirzaMIKI50]

Ok but its allready off but I use propeller guard .

Take off the propeller guards when flying outside. The added weight can automatically activate payload mode and they catch the wind so you get blown around more.

As per the manual (p 32):

If accessories are mounted to Mavic Mini, it is recommended to enable Payload mode for enhanced safety. After takeoff, Payload mode is enabled automatically if a payload is detected. Note that the Max Service Ceiling above Sea Level is 1500 m and the max flight speed is limited when Payload mode is enabled.
The Find My Drone feature helps to find the location of the aircraft on the ground.

You should also consider that flying with the propeller guard outside makes the drone more susceptible to wind, and payload mode flight speed limits will make it more difficult to control in gusts. Might be better to restrict yourself to near flights until you feel more confident, and then remove the propeller guard to fly without these limits.

when you put the prop guards on the drone will select payload mode itself there is no way to disable it it is meant to be for indoor flying as there are no sensors on the drone to prevent it hitting objects in its path

Ok thanks for the advice boys,it means me alot.A answer to my problem is that payload mode if i am correct?

Yes, because you have prop guards on the MM detects that and sets the limits

I’d remove the extended landing gear legs too. I helped a friend fix irratic flight issues on a mavic pro that were caused by extending landing legs...

 

[Antaire]

Just to add I fly with the extended landing legs and two cree strobe lights on the back legs with no issues . (CE version)

Guys I would like to thank you for everything you guys wrote.It helped me alot,I figured my problem because of you.This forum is awsome.People are very kind and likely to help.Again thank you guys.

Being this new to the Mini - please read your manual very carefully and download UAV Forecast Application, we all use it to prevent bad times. The Mini is truly the best drone I've ever owned, also my first & only one, lol!

Just finished work - going home now to fly my baby drone...

I attached the pgytech landing gear to my mm. I could only fly a short distance. It then told me max distance reached and would not fly any further. Even though the no limit was set. What’s the fix. I tried p mode and a mode.

What is a manual. ?

What is a manual. ?

I learnt to drive on an automatic and can't drive a manual...

Oh, you mean this mavic mini pdf manual https://dl.djicdn.com/downloads/Mavic_Mini/Mavic_Mini_User_Manual_v1.0_en_1.pdf

its because its gone into payload mode, which restricts the height and distance the drone can go ,the thing is the landing gear should not be heavy enough to trip it, go in to settings in the app screen and disable payload mode and then give it a try

So even though I never activated payload it automatically did. I will try that next time. Thanks

It’s posible the extended landing accessory it’s interfering the antenas of the mini
