Repeats home point updated in active track

Why did my mavic pro keep repeating home point updated please check it on the map over and over and over.
It was windy and I was near a nfz.

I’m quite sure I wasn’t. It’s never happened before either..
I was in active track following my niece on her bicycle in a large parking lot just outside of a nfz.
it was very windy but I was only 10-15 feet up.
It just constantly repeated without even a few seconds in between..
I’m going to test it by locking into my vehicle which now is several miles from small regional airport..

idk, very strange..
I will follow up in a few and tell if it’s still reoeating

I just followed my vehicle in active track and it did not repeat the home point updated message..
Does height u fly at or size of subject possible effect message..
I’ll post vids later

Both vids demonstrate the repeating home point message

it was a guess, is the holder on the controller for the phone, catching the homepoint icon on the phone?

Could have been..
I’m at a loss.
Seems like it was only while filming niece on bicycle those two days

another guess from me when you first took off did you choose precision landing so the drone went up 25ft and locked its home point i ask because you stated that you were at 10 to 15 ft,if you took off manually then maybe it didnt have time to get a lock and because of the height you were at it may have been trying to get a home point lock just a thought

I pretty much always do precision land.
It possible I didn’t.
Good call..
I guess I will wait for niece to come back and try and track her again in bicycle..
It is the ONLY time it’s ever repeated it and over a two day period
