I imagine something like this would involve a firmware fix to improve the logic for Pan Scan and Smart Track. I definitely agree with this:
I wonder if asking about this kind of thing in the latest beta firmware release topic would help this issue get some traction. I didn’t see anything specific to this function in that announcement, though they’re apparently still trying to make improvements with this Cam.
That seems to me like the “return to Home Waypoint” or “continue to next Waypoint” logic is probably too aggressive. They’ve had notes about changing the “return logic” for Solar Cam Pan, but I haven’t seen the same thing mentioned for Cam Pan v4. I do see this in the notes for the 4.70.0.2595 firmware release for Cam Pan v4, but that doesn’t really provide any detail:
Optimized Smart Tracking priority logic.
Maybe they need to “optimize” some more. What firmware are you using?
