My Mavic does this too I think it's a common weakness of the OA system. Forward OA sensor is being triggered by sun with craft pointing in it's direction and sun is relatively low on the horizon.
I try not to rely on OA under these conditions. Best to just turn off OA if it starts to do this or else alter crafts angle relative to suns rays.
In certain scenarios wherein one has lost visual reference to craft and also radio control / video link, RTH could auto initiate and then the craft might experience this false OA error and stop mid flight, failing to return home. Something to be aware of anyway.

thanks for the reply.....
I watch the video were this happens .
I believe your right........... sun glare issue.
I will turn off the OA but as a newbe  there's  alot going on/look at on the controller and phone
while flying this marvel machine as the more flight time I get I will be able to tune out the non important stuff Like camera Icons setting menu during flight
Thanks Again ......C
