My mavic mini not hovering stable when I tried to fly i doors what to do.it showing gps is not available and aircraft unable to hover error code 30008
What to do any suggestion??
 
Indoors what surface was it hovering over ?
Mine seems able to detect flapping cloth etc. and reacts to it. It prefers a stationary surface underneath it
 
You'll also need quite a bit of ambient light indoors so the downward facing sensors are active. If that's not possible, you might consider some white LED lights facing downward and perhaps also forward to assist the sensors.
 
As Loganair said, make the room as bright as possible

Pay attention to post #6 and take the drone outdoors.

See item (g) in that extract from the manual too - avoid flying over reflective surfaces. Those tiles look quite glassy smooth.

If you hover over a rug (or sheet, piece of paper etc) and then pull the rug along the floor slowly then the Mini will actually follow the rug as it is using it for a position reference. Obviously, only if it doesn't have a GPS signal.

I have another drone that doesn't have GPS but uses the same vision sensor as the Mini. When hovering over a field of long grass that was waving in the wind it started following the wave patterns travelling across the grass!
