Rookie Mistake

Flying indoors is totally fine you just need sufficient lighting ....and GPS has kicked in many times while flying it does not make it move rapidly or anything crazy . It isn't like back in the day when flying your Blade 350 QX quadcopter inside and then GPS would kick in it and it would go hard left LOL it's totally stable. just have some common sense about it. and be in an open space with decent lighting!

And prop guards!
 
It took 21 posts before someone mentioned prop guards. I would not even consider flying indoors without them.

I have flown indoors in Tripod mode with prop guards and have had no problems. Set RTH to hover, turn off forward sensors, stay away from drapes/plants/anything light that will get kicked around by the prop wash, and stay away from the ceiling because the Mavic will suck itself to it if you get too close. Keep the downward sensors on for stability but be aware that it will cause the craft to rise if you fly over and too close to an obstacle. After flight check the motor and gimbal area for hair or other debris that may have been stirred up. The Mavic makes a great indoor leaf blower.
 
Hi. Is there any form to prevent GPS signal kicks in?

Yeah, place a small pc. of foil over the top rear of the AC, you will see the GPS go to zero. Use enough tape so it doesn't blow off...

You can find the sweet spot with your hand, just place it over the rear and watch your sat counts go down to nuthin'....
 
They make plenty of (relatively) cheap indoor FPV drones. Just get one for winter/rain days.
