Forward obstacle avoidance...

[Scott Parker]

Has anyone had an issue with the obstacle avoidance kicking in at 30 mph? It also comes on at about 25 mph on rth.

Hi, I have a Mavic Air with a similar issue. It takes forever to get back home because it slams the breaks on numerous times for what I assume is a false collision avoidance activation.. I think I might change out the front vision hardware and test again.

Doesn't have anything to do with speed. A false OA detection usually is caused by a low angle sun getting into the sensors. What makes it seem speed related is because the AC has to be tilted in order to go forward. When it stops due to OA, angle changes to level, and sun no longer appears to be in the way. Remember, unlike the main camera with a gimbal, the OA sensors are fixed to the AC body.

You can get around this by turning off the corresponding OA mode, or fly manually in sport mode which disables all OA.

I should have added this happens for me regardless of sun position or OA enabled.. So may be a deeper issue.

RTH has its own OA setting.
Perhaps SAR/Meta can check from your logs exactly what was happening.
