Had this happen to me several time this morning, when I would turn into the sun I would get an obstacle warning and the mavic would stop, I could turn away from the sun and everything would be fine.  Anyone else seeing this happen?

Yes, lots of people. It's a known problem.

Thanks for the reply, I didn't know, now I do.

Yep. Quite normal. It does see the sun as threat with good reason but cannot judge the distance. With low sun just switch fwd off so mavic won't go apesh1t..

Move to England for virtually unrestricted flying time!

Yes. This is even documented in the manual.
