Currently, I have the Osmo Mobile 1 paired up with a Samsung s8+ . There are 2 questions I have before I upgrade.

1) Will I be able to stream to my business page from the app? Before, I could only stream to my personal page and not business (Facebook)
2) Will there be a way to hook up an external Mic? I currently use a Rode Directional Mic for tri-pod experiences, but it does not work on the Osmo and I heard wires and other things will really way down the phone and not allow it to work. So, I heard rumours that there is a mic jack on the handle, is that true? Can I easily hook up an eternal mic?

1. I don't think so (but have not tried) since that is a different type of account.
2. There is no mic jack on the handle of the Osmo Mobile 2. Just a USB port.
The Osmo Mobile 1 had a 3.5mm jack, but that is for charging.

And back to the external mic.
It will probably work, especially with the jack being on the bottom half.
I have tested with my iPhone SE and that works great with a Rode VideoMic Pro. That cable has the right length and is not too heavy.
Just make sure you purchase the mount where the mic will sit on and keep the cable loose enough, but not hanging down too much.
And re-calibrate with the mic attached.

The only hesitation I'm having with the external mic on the Mobile 2 is that unlike the Mobil 1, the Mobile 2 does NOT have mic gain control.  So if your mic tends to run high and distort, you seem to be out of luck.  I have a forum post on this topic going with DJI so I'll let you know if I get a response from them as to how to fix this.

I have not had problems with this (but have the OM1 )
Now I do use Filmic Pro, maybe that would help.

Can Filmic Pro use the tracking feature of the OSMO?

No, it does not have that (yet).
You can ask the developers if they have plans for that.
They are rather open about their timeline.
