Several people have had similar issues with new Mavic 4 Pros. A simple procedure seems to calibrate the OA sensors. Five minutes of flight in a large + pattern about 10 feet AGL in a flat open area did the trick for me. There's a long discussion here on the forum...

There is no threat of an insurrection in Minnesota.

Absolutely wonderful photos. Your comments make me feel better about buying the Mavic 4 Pro, despite the complications. Here in the US, we're limited in how closely we can approach US Navy vessels - no closer than 3000 feet laterally. "These new restrictions specifically prohibit drone flights...

Yes, that's true for one of the two RTH modes.

You said, "... the entire region is under threats of "insurrection." That sort of false and inflammatory claim has no place here. Stick to drone topics. even if the discussion is about the decision making process inside DHS.

Or better yet, don't take off directly beneath a tree, regardless of the control mode chosen. You might steer clear of the tree on takeoff, but if the flight ends with RTH, you'll have a serious problem.

Let's keep this sort of absurd fear-mongering nonsense off this forum, please. There is no threat of an insurrection.

That wouldn't be effective with the drone moving forward though the rain, snow, or fog. Given the turbulence beneath the rotors not be effective even when hovering. Another concern is intruding into the field of view of the camera, unless it was well above the gimbal and/or short.

Here's what the FAA says. "As a result, ice accumulation is often greatest at temperatures not too far below 0 °C (32 °F), where LWCcan be abundant. LWC is usually negligible at temperatures below about -20 °C (-4 °F)." Details on page 9...

It can be, and not just at times when there's rain or snow.

That would still leave the problem of rain and snow on the outer surface of the cover.

I suggest calling DJI.

Anything like that would substantially degrade the camera images and video, like rain and melted snow do.
