Right, it’s there as part of hyperlapse. But in other DJI models it’s one of the intelligent flight modes in normal flight/video operations. Another reason it makes no sense that it’s not standard with the Mavic 2.

Well, we never really know why DJI does what it does, do we? Maybe there's a bug, or maybe, for marketing reasons, they decided tap fly was sexier than course lock, so they pushed that instead. At any rate, I'd love it if someone here could replicate what I found, run it through its paces and...
