I am planning way point missions with the Mavic 4, however my missions get cancelled because of the obstacle sensing. Is there a way to turn off the obstacle sensing? These way point missions I am flying are completely safe because I have flown the drone to each way point in order to set the way points.

Hi, @Lifeon3, Try this: Tap “···” in the top right corner of the camera view. 2. Select “Visual Navigation Settings” and then tap to turn on/off “Enable Obstacle Avoidance” in the top right corner. When your aircraft prompts "Vision system error", refer to Aircraft Vision Sensor Calibration Instructions. Hope this helps!

Your menu is different than mine. I had previously turned off manual obstacle avoidance.

I've never seen that "visual navigation settings" tab. I that something that is only available when the aircraft is in the air?
I'm going to have to share some screen shots.
 
Hmm, yes, some screenshots would be helpful. I assume you're using DJI GO 4?
 
The ‘Go Fly for DJI Drones’ app is a scam. Not worth the electrons consumed to display it.

The app you need is ‘DJI Fly’ by DJI. It’s free. Earlier drones (much earlier) would use an app called ‘DJI Go 4’. That isn’t compatible with recent drones such as the Mavic 4 Pro or the Mini 4/5 Pro.
