I was wondering if anyone else ran into this issue or maybe know what caused it. I flew my Mavic 3 at dusk. I got a warning that the vision sensors were disabled due to low visibility. I decided to turn around and bring it back in. The flight home was significantly darker than the flight out. I found that while flying my Mavic 3 back in it slowly decreased in speed until it finally wouldn’t move forward at all. I had to reposition the aircraft sideways and fly back sideways. Anybody else experience this or maybe know what caused it. Is it a setting that I need to change?

That sounds really strange, I have flown other products in complete darkness and had no issues but in saying that are you flying in a NFZ area?

Maybe you disable the OA and try again?

No. I wasn’t in a NFZ area. It’s a path a fly on a regular basis. The only different factor on my flight was that I flying the Mavic 3. There were no obstacles in my path and I was about 300 ft in the air. I’m not sure what could have caused it

Anything showing in the flight log? Seems like a weird one.

Something similar happened to me with the mavic air 2. Switching into sport mode helped, but didn't remove the issue completely/
Try to disable the sensors and fly again.

For an update, I flew this morning. No issues in the flight, nothing abnormal with the sensors or my flight. I tried to check my flight yesterday to see if any warning popped up before hand but I didn't see one. The only thing that I saw was not enough ambient light visions sensors disabled. May attempt to fly at dusk again to see if I can duplicate the issue, just have to get up the courage to do so, lol

I'm seeing something similar. If I'm flying  and get the too dark for vision sensor it stops and I have to pump the stick to go again. On some flights it's happening repeadtly. Haven't tried turning off sensors.. Here is a log of mine from today... I'm having an altitude issue so I pulled it for that. Not sure what to look for.
