Hey DJI, it would be nice to have a programmable ActiveTrack mode.

I'd love to be able to start the Spark out in ActiveTrack Trace mode, then set it to circle at a certain rate for a certain period of time (let's say 20-30 seconds or whatever you want), and then when it hits the profile of its subject after the time elapses, it automatically switches to Profile mode for the rest of the video.

And also the other way around, where you have it start in Profile mode, run for a set amount of time, and then switch to Trace Mode with a preset circle rate.

I basically want to have it switch between the modes without having to fiddle with my phone in the middle.

The kind of shot I am thinking of is something like where I might be kayaking down a river, and I want to have it start out in Profile to get the motion of the kayak down the river.  Then it automatically switches to Trace mode and starts circling, so that your video ends up with these great panning shots of your surroundings after you got yourself moving in profile.  Same could go for hiking, MTB, 4x4, surfing, etc.

Sounds good and dangerous at the same time.
