ooking like something out of a Terminator movie, the all black carbon fibre construction, six-bladed Yuneec Typhoon H weighs in at just 4 lbs, which makes it light enough to throw in a backpack and carry around for a day of flying without worrying about straining your back. Setting up the Typhoon H is a snap, just unpack it from its case, unfold the arms, attach the quick release blades and you are pretty much ready to fly. The 3-axis anti-vibration CGO3+ gimbal camera features a high-quality glass 98° field of view, wide-angle lens, offers manual camera settings while in flight, and is capable of capturing ultra-stable 4K UHD video or 12.4 megapixel still images and (unlike other consumer level aerial platforms), can be rotated through an unlimited, 360° range of motion. The Typhoon H is able to achieve the full 360° range by incorporating retractable “landing gear” of the type normally found on larger more expensive professional grade UAV platforms. Of course, without the legs in the way, you now have unrestricted camera views without having to physically rotate the platform itself, perfect for capturing those long sweeping panoramics that drones are known for.

Thanks to its six rotor design (in actuality, it only needs five to fly), the Typhoon H has a built-in redundancy where if one rotor were to fail for some reason, it can self-diagnose the issue and then safely fly back to the home position for repairs. The Typhoon H comes with built-in obstacle avoidance technology. However, unlike other systems (which rely on a visual avoidance system), the Typhoon H uses sonar, which means that it is capable of avoiding obstacles in low-light and even complete darkness situations.backpack melaka Also, the Typhoon H is the first Drone that will be compatible with the upcoming Intel “Realsense” module that will allow for active real-time collision avoidance (expected to be available by fall 2016). sig 556 backpackFind out more about Intel “Realsense” here.best backpack for inca trail

Another benefit of its six-bladed design is that it’s fast… really fast! The Typhoon H also features six flight modes including: The Typhoon H is controlled via the Android based ST16 ground station which integrates all your flight controls and a 7″ touchscreen monitor into one unit. The monitor will display telemetry data, streaming live video (HD 720p up to 1.6km) and let you access additional features and flight modes.backpack koken Want to have someone else control the camera and allow you to focus on flying? burbank laptop backpackWith team mode activated, you can have a second ground station connected to allow for dual pilot functionality.jansport d4 backpack The feature rich Yuneec Typhoon H has everything you could want and if you’re looking for an aerial photography/videography drone that won’t break the bank, you should really consider checking it out.

Hover Camera Falters in Wake of Phantom 3 Standard Drones for Good: Research and Ecology Yuneec Typhoon H battery: longer charging time and shorter flight time I would suggest Yuneec Typhoon G for a first time drone buyer I would like to give Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K 5 stars, but instead I gave Q500 4K 3 stars. The CGO3 camera is very good and the steady grip is very good. That alone almost makes the entire package worth it. But the Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K does have some issues. Mine crashed on it’s second flight due to an engine failure. The Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K just fell from the sky and hit the ground, one of the props clipped the edge of a branch and the Quadcopter fell about 30-40 feet to the grass and shattered. The material the shell was made of was very brittle and thin and cannot take much of an impact.

We chalked Q500 4K up to material defect and went to find out how to get the Q500 4K repaired. The web site said that the only way to contact service was to call by phone. Since we were working with a security client in a very remote rural area with poor cell reception, we had to travel over 90 mins RT to an office to call. You would think that a technology based company would have a simple online repair system to enter the information and send a couple of photos. The process is extremely cumbersome. Yuneec was more concerned with their internal processes, instead of making it easy to get an expensive unit repaired. Finally we were able send the Typhoon Q500 4K to the Yuneec for repair. It took a couple of months before we heard from the Yuneec despite repeated emails asking for a status update. Finally, they sent us a quote by email to approve the repairs. We approved the repairs and then were informed that the only way to submit payment was by calling them on the phone and providing CC information.

I had to resort to something that I never do and submit the CC information in multiple emails in order to get this processed. They told us they only accept payment by CALLING THEM. So the unit continues to sit at the repair depot until we can get to an office to call. They couldn’t even take an online payment, send a payment invoice (PayPal or Intuit), take e-checks, checks, invoice the company, or arrange for any alternate payment options. As consultants, we have many clients in remote rural areas and a difficult repair process costs our clients and us money and time we don’t have. It has been a year. Getting parts and batteries takes forever. We will never recommend to a client to Yuneec again. I have flown Parrot Bebops with much less trouble then my Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K. I would really like to love this drone, but I just can’t.
