Tripod mode indoor

[espadasmoran]

Have you noticed that after the last update the tripod mode has desable the gimball pitch?
I first take off outside, got GPS and then fly into the room to get tripod mode, but it's annoying having to stop intelligent mode to move the camera [emoji27] [emoji27] [emoji27]

Tripod mode needs gps. Won’t work indoors.

That's incorrect. I fly Tripod mode indoors all the time.

That's incorrect. I fly Tripod mode indoors all the time.

Really? Mine has never worked indoors. Same as the OP, the gimbal won’t move. I asked DJI, they said it doesn’t work without gps.

I can confirm I was flying through some tunnels no GPS no Tripod mode.

How?
What i do is get gps signal outside the building, then fly into the building then i have tripod mode,

the question is why gimball is stock when tripod...

Lets report everybody this bug to dji and force the update...

Apparently, Spark doesn't allow Tripod mode without strong gps signal. Still, that would be a valuable feature to fly indoors in Tripod mode.

You can, if the light conditions are adequate for the Spark to use the Vision System, as stated.

No GPS needed.

You're right! Tested it today, and Tripod works indoor beautifully, activated after takeoff. Thanks!

A word of warning - do NOT fly into dark spaces while in Tripod mode indoor => Compromised Vision System makes Spark unstable as it enters atti mode immediately.

Good to know, I wondered about this.

Another little tip about Tripod mode if you didn't know.
While in Tripod mode, you can tilt the camera up past the horizon and see above a little.

This area of tilt is used for the automatic pano / sphere photos that the Spark takes and can be accessed only during Tripod mode.

I learnt that form Spark 317::

Try and tell us if it works.

Tripod mode and gimbal work just fine indoors. Just make sure there is enough light for VPS to work.
