Sadly I went through a similar negative experience trying to get a good video. I wore a GoPro head mount and was never able to get the sn in focus, and lots of glare on the phone. I said screw it and submitted it anyways.
I went out the other night in flew in the dark around 32F. I saw the same behavior with the VPS sensor displaying a couple inches again. Wasn't able to specifically confirm that disabling VPS fixes the problem but I'm sure it does. Seems to be temperature related.
I had not thus far. I went to do it this morning but didn't run into the same issue. Temperatures are in the upper 40's which agrees with my thought on fogged vision sensors. Not sure if that is enough to confuse it or if it would have to have something going on with the data from ultrasonics as...
I have had my Mavic for about a year, I've logged about 24 hours of flying on the quad but haven't been flying much in the past few months. I have had a few bugs but none associated with the downward vision sensors, only with the controller or phone randomly disconnecting and needing to restart...
I had a similar thing happen a few months back. I had been flying in sport mode for most of a battery on a hot day in NY (approximately 90F). When I returned back to myself to land I brought the Mavic down to catch. When it was just within reach I grabbed onto it at which time it became totally...
My comment wasn't directed at one specific person in particular, just as a blanket statement about misinformation. In an already confusingly regulated hobby more misinformation is not helping anyone.
I don't understand why some of you are citing part 107 as the all powerful law when the majority of flyers are flying recreationally. If you think recreational flyers cannot fly at night you are part of the problem because you clearly have not fully researched the topic before spewing false...
Blinking signal strength indicators has been covered here a bunch of times and it is also in the manual. That said it indicates signal interference. Once the blinking starts it won't stop until you land the aircraft.
It has happened a few times now where I will get a yellow status light on the rear of the Mavic mid flight. It goes back to green very quickly, and does not display any messages in the app or on the controller. I wouldn't describe the light as "rapid" but it is hard to tell because it happens so...
I've noticed mine does die pretty quick when not in use... Probably not that fast though. I'm just guessing, but after ~4 days I'd probably see 10-15% loss.
