Various drone suggestions

Gimbal mode / Mavic mode / Cinematic mode
- Being able to control camera angle separatelywhile the drone is still kinda floaty or flying in a set direction, is a big part of doing cinematic drone shots. Same with zoom
- Moreso, using gamepad triggers for changing gimbal angle is already ergonomically good- triggers are analogue, which allows for slow, smooth, yet variable angle change
- Also, this style of flying is more beginner-friendly and gamepad-friendly than FPV, which would make drone mode a more desirable feature for many people outside of FPV-community (which means 💰VRC+ cash💰)
- And, i bet this mode would make a LOT of VRChat content!
Disabling Z-axis while auto-leveling
- Making it possible to compensate only yaw and roll, would allow for some really cool shots with altitude change
- (bug?) Whenever i do a slow height change in auto-leveled mode and zero my stick (stop sending inputs to change throttle), drone gets yanked in the opposite direction. Not sure if a bug or misconfiguration on my side
FPV-drone mode suggestions
- Being able to make own drone pickuppableby either friends or anybody, would allow some cute interactions between a drone operator and their viewers
- Inclusion of FPV drones with decent physics already provokes drone-based events (racing, freestyle aerobatics), and being able to differentiate between different players droneswithout looking at nametags is crucial, and can be done with acolor change, and/or, adrone model change.
- I can see being able to turn off the trailas a desirable feature for immersion. Probably simple to implement, too!
- Sharing own drone feed, if technically possible, would allow to host racing events without an external player
- Racing feature - hitbox tilt. Usually racing drones are starting while tilted, not vertical. Making it able to tilt drone's hitbox is the simplest way to do it.
Quality of life changes for FPV operators
- Horizon levelis a widely used feature IRL
- Switch Auto-Levelingby a keybind / gamepad button.

Quality of life changes for non-operators
- Showing a drone iconin nametag (like with earmuff mode) to indicate that the user is in FPV drone mode and might not hear people around them, would improve interactions between operators and non-operators and reduce misunderstandings
