Normal flight at 300 ft., drone in sight, GSP waypoint mission ended and cancelled. I flew manually and normally for a while, but commanded RTH when battery got down below 50% and as a very light drizzle began. The drone commenced RTH at 300 ft altitude, but stopped about 200 ft. from home point after flying about 1000 ft. horizontally. Message: Obstruction Detected, fly with caution."
The highest obstructions within a half mile were about 200 ft. above home point.
I cancelled RTH with the pause button, but it ignored commands to go further, hovering as battery slowly went down. The drone was pointed away from the sun, but sky was solid overcast anyway. video feed and signal strength looked normal. At this point, my memory is sketchy on how I regained control. I think l yawed it around about 180 degrees and backed it up to about 200 ft the other side of home point. When I then pressed the RTH button, it returned home normally, landing within half a foot of takeoff point. The drone body showed a few drops of moisture, but the lenses seemed clear.
1. Anyone have idea on what caused the obstruction warning and avoidance behavior?
2. What could I expect if I did not interrupt with the pause button and let things continue? The way things were going, it looked as though the next event might be a low battery emergency (<10% charge remaining).
