Please ensure the Start button is held for 3 seconds and you have more than 4 satellites on the display The LED on the rear of the Q500 will be solid purple. DO NOT place anything through the damper holes to hold the camera - this will severely affect the damper operation.

Please follow tightening directions on the top of the propeller hubs. We eat the descendants of the regressive-type fish on fluffy white buns after frying them. It can be reduced by using a longer shutter speed, which really requires you to mount a neutral density filter on the lens, cutting the amount of light coming into the camera and forcing a longer shutter speed.

Yuneec Q500 4K Typhoon Quadcopter 3-Axis Gimbal Camera

Includes gimbal for smooth aerial video footage. Supports most GoPro cameras. Includes handheld stabilization mount for GoPro. Remote control with integrated LCD. Very quiet during flight. Includes Return-to-Home and Follow Me modes. On the large side. Only includes one battery. Battery charger can get hot. Camera gimbal is slow to adjust. It's an attractive option if you already own a GoPro, but is hampered by a fairly limited video transmission range. Our Editors' Choice drone is still the pricier , but don't count the Typhoon G out if you prefer to use an action cam. Design The Typhoon G is the same drone as the Q500 4K. It's big, about 8. Its plastic chassis is finished in gunmetal gray and black. The gimbal sits on the undercarriage, flanked by two large landing struts, and can be removed to mount on the included SteadyGrip. Behind it is a transmitter that sends a video signal back to the included ST10+ remote control. The Typhoon ships in a reasonably sized box with styrofoam inserts, which I found more practical to carry, packed, than the oversized hard case that ships with the Q500 4K. But you're probably going to want to invest in a wheeled hard case or a large backpack if you're serious about taking your drone to exotic locales to capture aerial video. Unpacking and re-packing it in styrofoam will have you reaching for lens wipes to clean little bits of detritus off of your lens before every flight. The ST10+ remote control is finished in black. It has a number of switches and buttons that do nothing with this particular aircraft; you can ignore them. The left joystick controls altitude and yaw, while the right moves the drone left, right, forward, and back. The wheel on the left side of the remote moves the gimbal up and down, though I found it to be a little too slow to respond, like the Q500. The wheel on the right of the remote sets the maximum flight speed of the aircraft. It can manage about 15mph with the GPS enabled at top speed—if you turn the GPS off you can get it going at speeds closer to 60mph, but that's only recommend for very experienced pilots. The remote has an integrated LCD with a touch-screen interface powered by Android. It's bright, but fairly low-resolution 480p considering its 5. Telemetry data is displayed along with the live video feed, and it lets you know when the GoPro is recording—so you won't find yourself flying around without capturing video. A hood is included to will help you better see it on bright days; you'll have no issues with glare if you can find a shady spot from which to pilot, but in very bright light it's hard to see the screen. The hood is affixed via suction cups, which isn't the most elegant solution in the world, but it gets the job done. There are Photo and Movie buttons on the remote, but they won't work with the GoPro. You'll need to start recording a video or set the GoPro to time lapse mode if you want to capture stills at set intervals before you take off by pressing the Record button on top of the camera. You'll also need to install and remove it frequently, as the gimbal does not provide power, despite connecting to it via USB. It also blocks the memory card slot. Thankfully, attaching the camera is pretty easy to do—just make sure you plug in the right-angle USB plug before sliding it into the cradle. The camera is kept in place via a single thumb screw. The handheld SteadyGrip is a beneficial accessory, but has some drawbacks. First, the good: It's pretty easy to use. Just unhook the gimbal from the aircraft it slides off easily if you hold down the plastic latch that secures it and slide it onto the grip. Turn it on, press Record on the GoPro, and you're ready to capture very smooth handheld video. A control wheel adjusts the gimbal tilt when the grip is set to Angle mode. Using the mode button on the grip you can switch to Pitch Follow mode, which keeps the camera level even if you tilt the grip forward or back—the automatic correction means that the control wheel is disabled. I have two complaints about the SteadyGrip. One, it's made of plastic, and feels a little cheap. A heavier, sturdier build would make it a bit easier to hold steady, although the gimbal does a fine job keeping footage from looking jerky. That's a minor complaint. The real issue is that it requires eight AA batteries for power. Yuneec recommends using rechargeable NiMH cells, but that's a lot of batteries to keep charged. A single modern rechargeable battery would go a long way toward make this a more appealing device. Flight Modes and Operating Range There are three flight modes available with the Typhoon G—Smart, Angle, and Home. Smart mode includes some functions that will appeal to the GoPro crowd: Follow Me and Watch Me. When set to Follow Me, the drone will follow the remote as it moves on the ground. Watch Me does the same, but also makes sure the camera is pointed at the remote control. Carrying a big remote with you while you're trying to record aerial footage of a sport or activity can be a drag. If that's your reason for thinking about a drone, the remote is available. We had some issues with the Wizard when we tested it, but it's worth considering if you're not a long-range flyer. When the Typhoon is in Smart mode it's restricted to flying no further than 295 feet from the remote which will remedy the range issues of the Wizard. However, you can make the limit smaller or larger, but I don't recommend that using the software. The software also lets you change the maximum altitude limit which is applied in all modes —it's set to 400 feet, the limit in the United States, by default, but you can raise it if you're flying in another country with less stringent restrictions. Smart mode also does one thing that may throw experienced drone pilots off course: Directional controls always stay relative to the Home position, regardless of where the aircraft's nose is pointing. That's actually a plus for bringing a drone home if you've lost visual contact, as you can see where it is on the map and simply fly it toward you by pulling the right stick down. Angle is where more experienced flyers will feel at home. You have complete control of the aircraft, with no limit to how far away it can fly aside from the range of the remote control itself. As far as range goes, in the suburbs I had no problem controlling the aircraft at distances of up to around 900 feet before I started getting intermittent RC Control lost messages. In an open area the range is closer to about 1,200 feet. The Phantom 3 Professional is one of the better drones we've tested in terms of operating range—it can manage 2,500 feet without breaking a sweat in open spaces, and better than 1,500 feet in the suburbs. Home is pretty self-explanatory—when you switch the remote toggle to that position the aircraft will return to its takeoff point and land. Just make sure that you have a GPS satellite lock before taking off it should be part of your preflight checklist. You'll be able to see how many satellites both the aircraft and the remote control can see on the remote's display. The Typhoon usually picks up a satellite lock quickly, while it may take a minute or two for the ST10+ to acquire a lock. But the video feed from the GoPro is going to cut out much more quickly. I lost it after about 500 feet in an open space with a clear line of sight to the drone. In areas with trees and buildings it can drop very quickly; it really depends on what's between you and the aircraft. When the feed starts to go you'll see green splotches on the screen, and then the last frame transmitted. Flying it back in range doesn't restore the video immediatley—it takes about ten seconds to reestablish the connection, which is disconcerting. Overall, this is the biggest complaint that you can make about the Typhoon G—but it is still a much better option than drones that use GoPros and don't offer any sort of video transmission out of the box, like the. Video quality is going to vary depending on which GoPro you use. The gimbal works with Hero3, Hero3+, and Hero4 models with the exception of the. I flew with the Hero4 Black and found that its 4K ProTune footage is much better than you'll get from the CGO3 camera that Yuneec bundles with the Q500 4K. It shoots with a very wide field of view, though, so expect to see the rotors in shots where you wouldn't with a CGO3 or the 20mm camera used by the Phantom 3 Professional. Of course, you'll also get audio with a GoPro mostly the sounds of the propellers , which you won't with most integrated drone cameras. You will notice some dark horizontal lines in our test footage—you get that when flying into the sun; the propellers block it out just long enough to create this effect. It can be reduced by using a longer shutter speed, which really requires you to mount a neutral density filter on the lens, cutting the amount of light coming into the camera and forcing a longer shutter speed. Most ND filters on the market require the use of the GoPro case, which is no good for drone users, but PolarPro makes a that mounts on a GoPro sans case and is intended for gimbal use. A single flight battery is included. Yuneec states that you can expect a 20-minute flight time, but I was getting closer to 15 minutes before the ST10+ told me that the battery was low and I should land. That's less than the 22 minutes I got with the Q500 4K, but I wouldn't be surprised if the video transmitter cut into the battery life a bit. Regardless, I heeded the advice and landed—it's tough to see just how low the battery is getting, as the life indicator isn't that precise. I prefer the marked percentage shown by DJI models. Recharging an empty battery requires about two hours. The included AC adapter can get a bit warm when doing so—be careful not to block its vents. A cigarette lighter adapter is included for car charging. The ST10+ remote charges via micro USB. Conclusions Despite sharing the same flight hardware, the Typhoon G is easier to recommend than the Q500 4K. If you already have a GoPro that makes the price easier to swallow, and if you shoot with a Hero4 Black you'll get 4K video that's better than the quality offered by the Q500 4K's camera. Overall I was happy with the way the Typhoon handles in the air, and while its operating range is a bit limited when compared with DJI models, it's adequate for flying within line of sight. The short video transmission range is a concern, however, and it's one reason to buy a drone with an integrated camera. If you want the best, spend a bit more on our Editors' Choice DJI Phantom 3 Professional, which has an excellent integrated 4K camera, although one that isn't quite as wide as a GoPro in angle of view. I prefer the tighter view offered by the Phantom, but that's a personal preference. If you already own a GoPro and want to take it in the air, the Typhoon G is a good way to do so.

The Typhooon H update file should be a. Whether its an optics problem or a shortcoming of Yuneec's distortion correction is tough to say, but unfortunately it extends to the 4K idea as well. I read through the quick-start guide, set it in the middle of field, and lifted off. The forward-thinking fish noticed that something amazing was happening and got in on it. On the large side. It can be reduced by using a longer shutter speed, which solo requires you to mount a neutral density filter on the lens, cutting the amount of light coming into the camera and forcing a longer shutter speed. But erstwhile competitors are beginning to emerge. Design The Typhoon G is the same drone as yuneec q500 gimbal calibration Q500 4K. If you want to go side to side you sin it left or right. The left joystick controls altitude and yaw, while the right moves the drone left, right, forward, and back. There was no calibration, and no apps to download. Includes gimbal for smooth aerial video footage.
