Side obstical avoid not working.

[ScottM2Zoom1]

New pilot, first drone, almost 100 hours flight time so far in first 2 months. Always noticed side obsticle avoidance is red in P mode with all turned on. Figured this was normal because sides turn green in T mode. As I begin to work on close proximity obsticle skills I switched to T mode and tested side avoidance today. It doesn't work even though it shows green active. Any thoughts that might help?(I will recalibrate sensors and try again this morning)

the side ones do not work that great honestly you need a pretty solid object. Tree limbs don't qualify. I KNOW this... sadly. Front and rear are pretty sensitive

I think it’s only active in intelligent flight modes and tripod mode

Recal got it working. Gives 10 foot warning. Thx for replies.

The side sensors on the Mavic 2 are not stereoscopic, so they do not work in real time like the others do, and they only work in tripod mode, point of interest, circle, helix, boomerang, timelapse and active track. They work by comparing images, so they only work with slower consistent/predictable movement.

Retired, 57, live on 100 acres Texas hour out of Ft Worth. Plenty of time, plenty of batteries. Ferrel hogs destroy property and grass landing strip on property...mostly fly the property hunting hogs and
dispense of them with long range sniper rifle from back porch. Otherwise I pleasure fly in-between.

I have a 5,300 sq ft lot. But could use that rifle for the squirrels. They have taken up residence under my solar panels. But neighbors might be in jeopardy!

I hear that Texas has a pretty big problem with hogs wrecking property
