Here there all,

I'd like to be able to use my new Osmo Mobile 6 on a desk to hold my camera while I'm using Continuity Camera for something like Facetime or Zoom.  This only works with the "main" cameras (not the selfie cameras), which means I want both the main camera -- and the controls -- to face me.  Continuity Camera can't use a third party camera app -- so I'm limited to the tools built in only to the gimbal, no auto-tracking.

This feels like something that could easily be enabled via a firmware tweak, especially because most of the time, the Osmo will be sitting on a desk and only adjusted using the controls slightly.

Now, there's two obvious ways to do this that don't involve new firmware:

1) put the clamp on the phone backwards (over the screen) but this feels somehow "wrong", like I'm going to scratch up the screen.

2) The osmo's on a desk, just point the controls away from you, and get used to reaching behind it and blindly fumbling the buttons.  But this also feels like a missing feature.

Has anyone else hit this?

Also, despite my phone having three rear-facing cameras, continuity camera doesn't have "zoom" or "focus" settings.  It's all "automatic".
