My Mavic Mini LED flashes green, but every minute flashes red twice (slowly), has anyone seen this?
Does this with full battery. Performed IMU and compass calibrations. All firmware up-to-date.
Looked at logs and no mention of why the LED flashes red twice intermittently, or about every minute.
Weird, the manual has 3 red flash description, depending on flash speed: , slow, blinking, fast.
I’m seeing regular or slow flash. battery low or IMU error.
Again, nothing in the logs, flys well.

Red Blinking quickly — critical low battery
Red Blinking slowly — low battery
Red Blinking — IMU error

if you are indoors it could be because you have not got a good enough GPS lock

You might as very well have answered your own question, Location has a lot to do with IMU. How many sat's do you have where your flying? Are you flying indoors? Are you near a lot of metal?

lots of things that potentially cause issues.

Respectfully,
 
Found the reason from reading other posts on this forum. We are near, but not in a NFZ. I know we are in the departure/arrival path about 3.5 miles out from a small airport. Maps show us outside the zone. So we moved about 1.5 miles further away and no red led blinking.
Solved. Not in the manual anywhere.
Thanks everyone. BTW-this is all outdoors.

great deal!, I will add this: Be careful when Flying in or near a NFZ specially around the boarder. have seen multiple cases of software glitches and AC literally auto-landing them selves do to the NFZ.
