I can’t find a way to set a traditional self timer using the RC or DJI go app (either directly or via the remote controller).

While I can see a way to do timed interval shots, I don’t see a 2 or 5 second countdown for a single shot. The selfie mode with gesture control does this but I always seem to have trouble making that gesture work reliably.

Without a self timer, all my pictures show me holding the remote or phone and I’d rather have a few seconds to hide it.

To my best knowledge there is just the gesture controlled 'self timer' available until now.

This question also interests me a lot. With the Mavic or Phantom, the main purpose is shooting *other stuff or other people* whereas with the Spark its nearly always ourselves with family etc.
I hate to see the remote and or the phone in the shots.

I want to add: a timer is also needed for all the preset flight modes such as Dronie, Circle, Helix and Rocket. In all these shots I look stupid at the start because I am still holding the remote in my hand or even look down at the screen. There should be a three second countdown with visual feedback on the drone.

In gesture selfies mode, it will count down for three seconds automatically. You can also set the Interval in camera settings.

The new 3 second timer for quick shots is definitely welcome, and I’m also aware of the gesture control selfie countdown (I still have problems getting that to work reliably).

I would still like to have a configurable self timer for the photo button on the remote controller and the DJI Go app as well. Seems like an easy thing to add.

I as well would also like to see a timer when using the remote control.  I like to use my spark for taking family pictures, and do not want a remote in my shot.
