before i had my MM i often used Tripod mode for slow ,low flying in woodland ,with the RTH signal loss set at hover, it is very very slow and easy to control the drone in Tripod mode ,the biggest drawback for me was that in that sort of confined flying, i was very conscious of the fact that i was flying an expensive drone in far from ideal conditions ,with all the issues of a collision,the MM on the other hand is much more fun to fly that way in cini mode, and is now the drone i use for such flying ,in some respects ,using tripod mode outdoors,can present its own problems,as it really does fly very very slowly ,and things take a while to happen ,cini mode in the MM is much better in that respect as it slows the yaw down considerably ,but its still possible to fly in the other directions with a reasonable turn of speed
