Hi,
I posted my issues before. “Downward sensor issue” need to recalibrate comes up while in flight. Green indicator light on drone goes from green to red after roughly a minute in the air.
I had thought it was the led light landing gear messing with the sensors cause of the metal led lights.
This happened for a while. I called a shop in Richmond, explained my issue.
They asked how I stored the quad. I realized it might have been the microwave it was above in the cabinet or possibly something else in the kitchen messing with the compass and sensors....?
I did a Re-cal. on DJI.com for sensors. Problem seemed to go away. Flew the quad during the day yesterday, seemed fine. Flew last night in pitch black, damb issue came up again. Green to red and “downward sensor error” window pops up. I tried turning off all sensors, didn’t help. Sensor issues again. At one point when this issue started happening, a gimbal warning came up as well. The only add ons I’m using on the quad are landing gear by PGYGEAR with leds and a good cover.
Am I missing something?
Would setting quad back to factory default on DJI .com be an option or bad idea....?
Thanks for any advice
Chris

I fly Mavic Pro and I always get vision sensor warnings on night flights, letting me know that vision sensors work poorly, if at all, in low-light situations.
