The one thing I might add for my M2P is leg extenders. The gimball is less than an inch from the ground which seems really low, doesn't take much to bump it.
"I know that many folks simply want to fly above the regulated 400' AGL regardless of rules "

No. There is no altitude limit except within 5 (?) miles of an airport for recreational users. This will likely change in the near future but this is a fact.
