Tripod mode missing? UPDATED with possible fix.

CrossBowChris · Nov 3, 2016

So when I first got the Mavic I easily found the tripod mode with all the other Flight modes. But now I am having problems locating it... anyone know where in the DJI GO app I enable tripod mode?

UPDATE-
So the only fix that is confirmed to work for this so far is to delete the DJI Go App and reinstall it. Try that first.

UPDATE #2- I have not had much luck finding a solution. I thought fix above was working but this was not the case. Not sure if other people are having the same issue. I am currently chatting with DJI support to see if they can fix the issue.

Update #3 So after talking with support they suggested Restoring Factory defaults. I could not actually find that, BUT I did find the Restore Factory Default CAMERA settings and tried that and for some reason that worked... Not sure if it will continue to work but for now Tripod mode is back... so I guess its working for now.

Did you swipe to the second flight mode screen?

There's a settings option for extended flight modes or something along those lines. Is that checked?

Make sure you have the gps and I think it was ground detection mode on. I believe that will prevent you from having that mode

Please send the Mavic to me and let me troubleshoot the issue for you. I'll send it back once I've located the tripod mode...

I thought Tripod Mode was also beneficial for indoor flying. No GPS, so will that still work?

I think you'll find you actually have to be airborne to select the mode. You can't access it from a table top.
(I maybe wrong though - I normally am)

I have the exact same problem ... I had it when I first started but I can't seem to find it anymore ... did they remove that function ?

Are you on an iOS device? Someone posted elsewhere that they updated the DJI GO app to version 3.0.2 and the tripod mode returned.
Also make sure you're not in sport mode.

You should be able to see Tripod mode when your Mavic is on the ground -- like this:

Indoor flying still works. Tried that as well.

Thanks for your reply. I do have a iOS device and I checked to make sure the DJI go app is updated. As well as not in sport mode.
