Front Sensor glitches

[Sevier456]

Has anybody had there front sensors go off randomly in flight??¿¿


Was flying yesterday I was about 1000ft away in my line of sight. No wind surprisingly and my front sensors started going of telling me in 4 ft always from something. No birds flew by I was in open air up about 120ft

Were you flying toward the sun? That's a common problem for the Mavic.

It wasnt that sunny but honestly maybe glare off the water I might just turn them off until I'm landing inrarly use rth

Do you find your self turning off your front sensor? The sun really has an effect of them. The drone will go completely vertical trying to stop. I've been turning them off just so that doesn't happen

I normally fly with the sensors turned on. I'll turn them off mid-flight if I run into this problem though.

Sorry to bother you again.. I took off last night (dark out)under a tree. My satellite reading was 15 but it had a hard time hovering in one spot. It would go side to side up and down not drastically but very Slow. Do you have any suggestions?

I know this is unrelated but you are very intelligent and quick with your responses

Thank you

Stay clear of any nearby obstacles when flying at night or wait until the daytime when the sensors can be used to help stabilize the Mavic's position.

At low altitude, the optic sensors try to help, but in low light they struggle for a reference point.
