Hi everybody,
P3P is a fantastic flyng camera, and intelligent flight modes helps a lot : instead of piloting you concentrate on the framing and quality of you vid

But,there is too much minimum altitudes and distance limitations: 5m radius for POI, 5m between waypoints,
3,5m approx  when tyou decide to lower the P3 in auto flignt mode.
I think 1m distance will be much better as the very wide angle lens make the subject very small if youre not close, and no lower limit for altitude,
even if you are in negative altitudes (when starting from a high point)

Exemple: : you want to siral around a 30m tower.
First you fly over, camera vertical, to pick the POI over the center of the tower
secondly you adjust the radius and speed
and third, you start circlng and lowering altitude
When you will be 7,5m approx under the POI, the bird will stop descending

Please DJI add a solution:  a disclaimer like this: "you entter lower limit values than the minimum recommanded by DJI, you understand the risks to fly too close to an object or the ground, click yes to accept and enter and override these limitations"
and let the pro take their responsabilities

I need this too. Where can we override these std limits?

You should be able to change these values by editing the Firmware, which is not advisable, anyway you can expect responses from other Users or Medadores of the channel

From your comments I presume you are using the DJI-GO app to fly.
You could try Litchi which I am pretty sure will allow you to fly much tighter orbits.
Just checked my setup and the minimum orbit radius in Litchi is 16 feet.
