Hi all,
in the latest (Feb 2024) update I've read the option to disable the lower sensor, nevertheless I just don't find in the menu.
I had 2 times crash with my Air2 where I had issues to descend through the fog. So this option would be warmly welcome.
Any hints where to setup?

On the RC2, go into the main settings menu, scroll down to the bottom under the safety tab, click advanced safety settings, and scroll down to the bottom again, theres a blue switch labeled Vision Positioning and Obstacle Sensing . It's hidden a bit, likely for good reason A great feature for the use you mentioned, but I'd never use it close to the ground...
So:
Settings, Safety, Advanced Safety Settings, Vision Positioning and Obstacle Sensing

Hello there. Please make sure your aircraft, remote controller already has the latest firmware. The omnidirectional obstacle avoidance feature including downward·obstacle avoidance on the Mini 4 Pro can now be disabled by turning off the Vision Positioning and Obstacle Sensing. Please refer to Manitobahunter's procedure. Please keep us posted if you are still experiencing an issue. Have a nice day.

Hi there, Henry. sorry about the trouble. If I may ask, have you installed any accessories to your Mini 4 Pro? Thank you.

in addition to post#2 (all correct)

DO NOT FORGET TO ENABLE AGAIN BEFORE LANDING!!

Tested it out to land with disabled sensors and it can be a very hard landing if you are not really smooth smooth smooth on the stick.

This needs a little nuancing. This is certainly true if you land manually. But as this shows, it seems that the downward sensors are enabled if you use and land through RTH. Not sure what happens if you ask the drone to auto land...
