TINFOIL ! Yes, you heard right. I was on another forum when I read Tinfoil will trick the Mavic 2s' Top IR Obstacle Sensor into thinking nothing is above it. So I taped a piece of uncreased tinfoil over the sensor. And, behold, I could take off and hit the ceiling if I wanted too. The tinfoil actually tricks the sensor into believing there are no upward obstacles. So you can get as close to your ceilings indoors as you need. Or, if you placed something on top of your drone that is obstructing the sensor, just tape a piece of tinfoil over it and your good to go. I couldn't find a way to turn it off in the app. Does anyone know of another way to disable it? I'm all ears.
