Not only am I getting warnings but the craft refuses to fly forward?? Any thoughts? Sensor recal.??
 
The following could be causing the problem:
  • The sensors could be covered with the protective stickers applied before DJI ships them out
  • The sensors could be dirty
  • Something you attached to your Mavic could be blocking the sensors
  • You're flying directly into sunlight
If none of those things apply, then try calibrating the sensors via the DJI Assistant 2 app -- like this:

 
The sun sets mine off a lot, a little annoying when I am flying a Map Pilot mission.
 
Flying in Mexico a few days ago over the ocean at sunset. It was twilight time. On my way back to home to end my flight I had three episodes of obstacle avoidance. I was at about 90 feet over an open bay flying in a southwest direction. It was weird. Initially thought there may have a bird cross in front but could not identify anything like that. The plane was about 200 feet from me so I could easily see it hold up and stop. Sun was behind a hill at time so that can not be the explanation. Is this similar to what you guys have seen.
