Pro4 mini Waypoints and obsatcle avoidance

[Camerart]

Hi,
I have a Pro4 mini, and happily learning to fly, including Waypoints.

I like flying in woods, so under a canopy of foliage, and figuring out the effects of lack of good Satellite vision.
When using waypoints, I think it is drifting because of this?

When steering through holes, the hole needs to be calculated or it senses and stops at the near foliage. Even though there is plenty of room, it won't go through, when running a flight.

I use the 'N' setting, but will it go through if I set it to 'S'. I've been reluctant to try it.

If anyone has both Pro4 and 5, and uses waypoints, could you tell me the difference between the two please, I read that the 5 can use more vision than GPS if necessary, is this true.

Waypoints are normally used in open areas and obstacle sensed will normally stop both 4 and 5. However, if you fly the drone the 5 will sort out a way that will stop the 4 as the lidar sensor is more sensitive than the optical sensors. If you are using the tracking function the 5 is really good as long as you look out for thin dark leafless twigs.
You don’t want to set it to s as that turns off obstacle avoidance and increases speed and sensitivity.
The 5’s GPS is apparently accurate to about 0.5m but you’ll need lots of satellites with a clear view, not under trees.
