Tripod mode is really something else!!!!

Yep - I tried out tripod mode for the first time the other day and really liked it. I was flying at very low height between some small statues that were close together. Perfect for this sort of thing.

I don't understand what you can achieve with tripod mode that you can't with just a steady hand in normal mode?

You are a genious, we, common mortal, are not

It just makes it easier for beginners to fly more safely in close quarters, especially around people and for close up inspections, so the sticks don't get away from them, and kill the wife/GF or having the "dingo"/Mavic eating the baby!

Nathan, seriously, take that video down. Not worth the risk.

Yes I agree Tripod mode is great. It's quite stable. I compared doing a long flight (10 minutes) using Tripod mode vs the same using a Litchi waypoint mission and the footage was smoother using Tripod mode (although you have to get your initial direction perfect).

Here's an example:

Very cool! The cars look like ant trails!

It's really so much easier to control panning shots as well as dolly type follows. If you haven't tried it yet and you are interested in the filmic look, give Tripod mode a shot! Heres a short clip of what I did today with it.

Nice work Joshua very "moody" and yes quite smooth...
