1. Pointing gimbal at circle-centre,
2. Gimbal Following another vehicle,
3. Time based triggering of image capture,
4. Start/Stop Video recording when arm/disarm,
5. Camera logging with mount specific messages,
6. GIMBAL_MANAGER_SET_ATTITUDE support,
7. Transferring support of mount poi (point of interest) from lua to c++,
8. Support for specifying which gimbal each camera is associated with,
9. Fixing other bugs in gimbals and cameras (specifically SiYi Zr10)
