Mini 2 changed from Mode1 to Mode2 in Follow- and Focus mode
After starting Focus- or Follow-mode the controls on the Mini 2 changed from Mode1 to Mode2, so pitch and power were reversed!
The remote is always in Mode1 for me, a bit scary to see it changed...
After an abort of the mission the controls returned in Mode1.

Moving this to feature requests. When you run follow mode, Dronelink puts the drone into virtual stick mode, which effectively bypasses the remote controller. Dronelink does listen to the stick movements however, and each mode interprets this in a different way to modify current parameters (such as follow direction and distance), depending on the purpose of the mode. It sounds like you want us to add an option to the wizard at the start of the mode let you customize how the stick input will behave.
Hi Jim, it still feels for me as a bug, when I start the dronelink-app (no mission loaded or aborted one) the stick movements are Mode1, normal flight for me.
When I run the follow-mode suddenly the stick mode is changed to Mode2, that feels as a bug...

I understand your perspective, but in the end I guess it doesn't really matter what we call it. You are asking for a change in functionality that will require more code to be written :)
Indeed! :-)
The settings stick across the apps so I’m guessing that’s why if your using mode 1 on DJI Fly app it works when manually flying. Once a mission is loaded DL takes control and is using default mode 2 which is mostly used by pilots. Maybe it’s the DJI SDK Dronelink is using to build their software. Just my thoughts. As always I could be wrong. 😬. Interesting tho….
Some assumptions:
-Stick mode is set by the Fly-app, setting is therefore fixed in the firmware of the remote controller
-Dronelink-app can't check in the firmware which stick-mode is chosen and the Dronelink app user can't change the stick-mode either (option is not available)
-During (advanced) Follow mode, the Dronelink-app must have full control over the drone and control it with virtual-stick commands
-The virtual stick commands, when manually changing the position of the drone, are a sum of user stick input and what the Dronelink app has calculated for the correct position of the drone
To know the stick input of the user you will have to read the sticks and in my opinion that’s where the problem is, which stick is used for what?
To solve this issue, you must have an option in the Dronelink app to indicate in which mode you want the remote controller, hence this feature request :-)
Exactly
...Is there anything to expect soon for this feature request?
Probably not.
