Okay guys here I go again and thank you all in advance. I intended to shoot a few panoramas with the M2P and having a friend with the original MP he is able to shoot panos in vertical (portrait) aspect to get more pixels in the height. I've looked everywhere for the option on the M2P and can't find it. Maybe due to the lens design? Also, the M2P doesn't seem to offer 4:3 format either, just 3:2 and 16:9. That too could be the result of the Sony sensor.

You can't find it cos it's not there.
The original Mavic was an oddity being able to rotate the camera to shoot portrait format.
I'm not aware of any other drone that can.
 
Yeah sadly you've lost the physical movement to portrait which does make panos harder.

Aspect 3:2 (full sensor) and 16:9 are available.

4:3 isnt which is nice - i hated that aspect. Every single image needed cropping.

It doesn't matter how many times you say it, it's no harder making panoramas from landscape format images.

It's pretty rare that I don't crop at least something, no matter what aspect ratio.
That's just a normal part of photography.

I agree, in fact it's simpler to do that. BUT, when you shoot a vertical pano you get greater depth to the image and more pixels. I'm extremely new to drones and still trying to work out how to fly it safely but I'm hopeful that I'll be able to shoot multi layered panos when I get more experience. Both Lightroom and Photoshop are capable of amazing stitching these days.

The simple solution is to shoot a multiple row panorama
