Into bright sun

[Oyibo VFX]

I just noticed that when I flew a little, that when flying towards a bright sun, I got obstacle warning.
Does any of you experienced the same? It was really bright. Had a ND64 filter and still high EV

Known issue on the Mavic with the sensors. Direct sunlight overloads the sensors and makes them blind. What they cant see, the cant detect and it tries to protect itself by warning you that it cant see.

Also, obstacle avoidance uses the sensors st the front of the body, not the camera, for detecting obstacles.

The sun will interfere with obstacle warning , I think it says it in he users manual

It's personal choice but this is the reason I disable obstacle avoidance in RTH.

Can we disable the front sensor only to avoid such issue?
