I was wondering if anyone else is getting the same alarm when flying? It is random and i dont understand what is causing the issue. When i am flying around i will get a random warning for obsticle avoidance.

Are you already aware of the common issue of the OA giving false readings when pointed at the sun?

Also, *one* of my two forward sensor cameras has a blue protective plastic film over it (with the small tag for removal)  out of the box - but none of the other three. Just check, in case...

Vision systems might not work fine when lighting is not adequate.
As for sunny day, please try to not shoot into the sun or tilt the camera down more to see if it happens again.

It happened to me early (few month ago) but since then it stopped happening. I have tried iton several occasions shooting directly into the sun and no more warning. I don't know if it is firmware update or my lucky star???

This taken from video looking straight at the sun.
