G-day pilots! Last day my Mavic Air started to beeping several times while on Smart RTH mode, the beep was the same one that starts when there's an obstacle very close to the aircraft, but on that altitude (even though out of my line of sight) I was pretty sure that there was nothing near the MA.
Unfortunately I couldn't record the screen of my phone, I just performed a visual sensors calibration today, but I would really be curius to know if there was really some obstacle (such as some birds maybe) around my MA.
I would really appriciate if someone of you could take a look of my flight record and tell me what was the trigger of the beeping (back, front or down vision sistem).
Thank you in advance, and have a safe flight!

sounds to me like a RTH sound together with the warning sound it makes when an obstruction is picked up by the sensors. My thoughts are same as hereforthebeer says: looks like the sun freaked it out.... this means that when you are flying more or less into the sun the the light is bounced within the sensor cavity which causes the sensors to pick up false obstruction readings and sets that alarm beeping. No birdstrike is apparent - most likely just reflections in the sensor cavity due to the sun
