A great feature to add would be the ability to have the Mini 2 track a target with pan and tilt. It would work as such, take the drone to the desired altitude, select the object or person to track, now the drone would stay in the same position but rotate and tilt the camera to keep the target object in the shot.

PS, it will require some practicing, but after that you can do this much better yourself.

The frustrating thing is the Mini 2 already has this functionality built in. When you use a quickshot and select an object, the drone will track that object (pan and gimble) while waiting for you to actually start the quickshot, but you can't record at that point.  So all the heavy-lifting tech is already in place. It just needs a UI to enable it.  It should also be possible to allow the drone to be flown on all 3 axis manually in this mode, and it will automatically maintain its orientation and gimbling to keep the selected target centered.  That gets around the "we don't allow follow mode on the Mini 2 because it doesn't have the sensors required to do this safely".

Yess 100% it would be easy to implement this feature but un likely that it will ever happen.
