DJI any chance you can tweak the obstacle warning sensors on the next firmware update so that sunlight doesn't trigger the obstacle warning sensors all the time ?
it means I always have to send it away or to the opposite/side direction of the sun as face on it stops it going forwards no matter at what height i'm at etc

sometimes the locations have the sun in the direction I want to go but i cannot get there unless i disable that feature, which I dont really want to have to do...
should sunlight trigger the warning ? what about some stick on lenses for the front to filter off the sunlight but capture solid objects ?

Thanks

It's very annoying, sunlight should not be an obstacle....

I turn off all the sensors. Unless you're flying in an enclosed space I don't really see the point.

I guess I'm quite new and like the safety element, but once I get a good hang of it they are going off I think

Agreed.  I keep mine off all the time as well.  Not only for situations like false sun readings but for the 22 mph speed limitation it imposes on a Mavic or original P4.  I do use the setting to engage OA during RTH even when the main OA is set to off,  That was a nice addition.
