While Viewpoint has some uses it could be improved or Autel could provide a more robust Course Lock addition to the Intelligent Photo modes.
First, you cannot use it for timelapses. At least I couldn't get it to do interval photos. Why? This would be one obvious use case for this function. Camera functions should be independent of the flight mode. Also a held reverse option would be nice.
Second; once a course is selected one cannot yaw the craft without changing the course. This may be intentional, but only further suggests the need for a Course Lock mode. With a true Course Lock one would be able to yaw the craft while maintaining the predetermined course allowing for trucking shots to the right or left or behind. Since we don't have any cinematic mission options any steps in that direction would be useful.
