Can the M2P shoot vertical pics?

No ... like almost all drone cameras, its camera cannot rotate in the gimbal.

Well, it could if you tilted it on it’s side by hand(grin).
But seriously, if you are willing to crop off a lot of pixels (about 1/2 or more) you can shoot landscape and crop to a Portrait orientation. Two things to consider:
1) you usually need to be further away from subject in order to frame it loosely for the vertical crop.
2) the image will end up being significantly lower in resolution. Too low? Only you can decide that so try it out.

The MP1 has a "portrait capture" mode, and although I've never experimented with it I believe the camera actually does rotate 90 degrees.
That's the only one I know of that can.
It's probably the reason the OP was asking.
I have a MP. It does have a portrait mode. Watched it up close, and the camera actually does rotate. Once accidently switched to portrait mode using the 5 way button and filmed some video with the drone seemingly on its side.
Great feature of the MPP, and would have loved to see it on the MP2. If you shoot manual panos, which I do a lot of, the vertical mode offers a great solution. It's always better to combine vertical shots (portrait) shots into a horizontal (landscape) oriented image. Less distortion (which the MP2 has plenty of), and overall better perspective.

Have anyone come across any intelligent answer why m2p does not shoot in portrait mode? It clearly can turn the whole camera unit vertical during startup calibration...
For the M2Pro, go to Pano Mode under the still camera Settings and select Vertical. Pixels will be cropped but it works. You have to experiment because altitude and distance matter.
