Face (Object) Tracking on Zhiyun Smooth Q2 with iPhone 12 Pro Max

In this video, I check out the Face Tracking feature on the Zhiyun Smooth Q2... and reveal the good and the bad! ⏩ https://youtu.be/d1NGfvh80Tg

First of all, the feature is called Object Tracking, not Face Tracking because the app cannot detect faces. Even the sales page says so, but people are asking about the "face tracking" feature. Object tracking only works when using the ZY Play app, and not any other native cameras. This review is done on the iPhone 12 Pro Max running iOS 14 and the Smooth Q2 updated with the latest Gimbal Firmware version 1.98.
