I have successfully hacked the 500 meter altitude limit in DJI Go and flown my P3P 609 meters (2000 feet) straight up using the DJI Go app.
Here is the hack:
1) Buy the Litchi app
2) Sign up as an Alpha tester for the P3 version
3) Once you have the Alpha version for the P3, connect Litchi to the controller and the P3 and set the maximum altitude to 2000 feet (or anything above 1640 feet / 500 meters)
4) Power off the tablet, the controller and the P3
5) Power everything back on as normal.
6) Launch DJI Go
7) Confirm the maximum altitude is over 500 meters (what ever value you set in Litchi)
8) Fly as normal. If you reach the new set altitude it will report as normal that you have reached the maximum altitude. As far as I could tell everything in DJI Go worked normally.
This procedure needs to be done for each flight as it will default back to 120 meters.
Please fly responsibly! The only reason I wanted to fly over 500 meters is to do aerial video over mountains. I generally always remain below 400 feet above the ground. I see no point in flying this high over flat ground as it can be dangerous to aircraft.
