When object avoidance becomes a problem

Air 3s in awe
lvl.1

Snow everywhere, wet and new.  I had a couple hours I knew it wasn't going to snow, so I set my Air 3s on my front porch and take off.  Beautiful snow everywhere, good video and great results.  I bring the drone back home, and it refuses to go back into the porch.  The building walls, pillars and ceiling on the porch give the object avoidance a very uncomfortable feeling, apparently.  It refuses to come onto the porch, so I stood up and grabbed the drone (it was hovering at about 4 feet in front of me).  The drone then starts pulling on me, like it senses my touch as a strong wind, pulling furiously away. I turned off the transmitter, hoping it would disconnect.  It didn't stop it.  Finally after maybe 2 minutes of a tugawar, it stopped.  Prop dinged my finger in the struggle.  I want to be friends with my 3s.

It occurred to me after the flight, I possible need to turn object avoidance off, for landing in a small area?  

If I can harvest off someone else's experince on this, it will be very helpful.  Thank you.

Not sure about your model, but for my Mini3Pro, if I switch the RC to SPORT mode, it cancels the obstacle avoidance so I can bring it close and hand-catch it.

Good thing that your finger only got a prop ding.  On the Air 3 as I return to the boat I live on I always turn off OA.  The one time I didn't I had to grab the drone and flip it over.  Definitely not the safest move to do.

If you quickly turn the drone upside down it stops. I sometimes do that when it won't com down or takes "forever" to do so.

After grabbing flip the drone or hold the left stick down either will stop the props.

Turn OA OFF, do not put it in SPORT as controls will be too fast and you will crush. Just leave it in C or N and turn off OA.
