Stop button no longer works so cannot exit Tripod mode?

Encountered this wee gremlin tonight for the first time. I like Tripod Mode, it slows things down to a speed that you can concentrate on filming but tonight try as I might I could not get it to exit. Wasn't a huge deal but for the wind suddenly got up a wee bit as the sunset and it felt like the Air was being blown backwards a little and the battery was starting to get a bit low for comfort. Started thinking I wasn't going to get it back, but I lowered the altitude a bit and the resistance to forward travel appeared to dissipate enough for me to get it back in plenty of time.

Yes, wind speed is very much related to height above ground. See: Wind gradient - Wikipedia

Will need to remember the Pause/Sport mode trick to recover in future. Ironically I was thinking I might need to put it in Sport mode to fight the breeze, had I actually done it would probably have solved the issue!

I'm certainly glad to know about those, too, in case the problem reappears!

Mike
