Not a fan of manually stitching together pano shots considering my Spark and Osmo can do them fairly well via the Go app. Is there hope for panorama coming to the Mavic or third party apps capable of this via my phone?

Mavic doesn't support Pano at the moment. Hope we will release in the future.

If you are running a IOS phone/tablet try http://www.hangar.com/hangar360/
Also Autopilot (IOS) and Litchi (IOS/Android) have Panorama functions.

Mavic DO support panorama, just DJI GO4 is not in combination with the Mavic.
