I'm sorry, I could have taken jburkett's reply serious, If the Spark didn't have the option. But stating that it's only an professional demand and have it implemented on your entry level drone doesn't make any sense.
I can understand that DJI needs product diversification across their line of drone's, and offcourse everybody wants their drone with as much features as they can get for the lowest price possible. but having a popular feature, which is somehow suddenly graded as an 'professional demand' on your entry level drone and then leaving it out on a more proffesional drone that costs nearly twice as much is a contradiction to jburkett's statement.
This thread has been covered so many times (I myself started one a while back not long after the MA was released, I keep hering its a pro feature but it was on my spark and the phantom and the mavic and non of them are Pro model they are consumer, unless DJI is toying with us and are referring to the label PRO as in Mavic Pro as a Pro drone with the feature!
The scroll function is very slow as does not help when trying to land having to wait for it to scroll down so i can see my LZ! This is such a simple feature and easy to implement and has been on all the other models including the Spark which isnt a pro model by any shape of the imagination.
In short to all your answers this has been requested for nearly a year now and there have been 3 FW updates for the model since is release (maybe 4) and it hasnt arrived and the admins on here may well pass the details onto the engineers who probably just file it in the 'Dont Care' tray and the admins get fed the same story as we do, I dont think DJI engineers even look at this forum, so I wouldnt hold your breath chap!
It such a quick fix/win for them as lots of people have asked for the function to be added (DJO GO4 app has the function as part of it for all the other models so it only needs a simple (check where my current camera position is and then minus the differ to turn it to 90 deg downwards they already have the code for for the mavics so they only need to add the option in to the FW and we can choose to sue it or not really simple!

Problem is DJI have great products but not customer service for things like this, I suspect this was just forgotten about during the dev cycle and has been re-labeled a design feature by adding in the slow scroll feature instead (forgetting to add vs suggesting another feature as a replacement!
I would love to see this feature but suspect my lottery win will come first!
