If you know how to adjust parameters with Assistant 2 1.1.2 you can check to see if the M2P has these parameters which do that:

g_config_mode_tripod_en_cfg_avoid_safe_dis=.5

That’s for tripod mode stock is half a meter.

g_config_avoid_obstacle_limit_cfg_safe_dis=1

This is P-GPS mode with front sensors on and the default limit is 1 meter.

Again not sure if this is available to be changed on the M2P but if it is that’s what would do it. Also of note is that tripod mode will let you get closer then p-GPS mode. Remember too that you can turn the sensors off altogether off you want

I also take real close up pictures for my work. I have prop guards and only when I am making the close up, I go vertically above where I want to drop and take the picture (use the snap down button to get the camera looking 90 degrees down), in tripod mode, snap the camera back to horizontal and SLOWLY drop down to your picture. DO A LOT OF VLOS PRACTICE RUNS WHERE YOU CAN JUDGE THE DISTANCE YOU WILL BE AWAY FROM YOUR TARGET. The advantage of the prop guards is they will protect you (somewhat) when dropping vertically down.
