Thanks, I was looking for a little more detail on the pass band cutoffs. 'IR Pass' is a pretty wide target. I think it might actually be a dual band pass, but not sure yet. More testing... Thanks.

You won't find this part. Once in a while one pops up on ebay (for crazy prices), but rarely any more Better idea: does anyone know the details of the optical filter used on the bottom plate. I have tried a couple filters that haven't worked. Does anyone know the cutoff or passband frequency of...

The app is on the Yuneec download page, along with manuals and controller update zip. https://www.yuneec.com/en_GB/support/downloads/breeze-en.html

LBasco1 is describing his [smart] use of a USB cable from console to phone instead of using the bluetooth link. That's one less wireless interface to go wrong, less phone battery load, and can result in faster live image updates since it's little software load on the phone. CableCreations has a...

OTG cable - great idea LB! I should have tried that too!

Just an idea: I use an ancient Samsung galaxy S5 for the breeze. I believe that's the oldest phone with 802.11ac, and works great with the breeze. You can add a internal SD card to store a ton of breeze images without clogging up the phone's main internal memory. The S5 connects easily to any PC...

DM is right as usual. If you xfr files from a live breeze using the Breeze android app to your [controlling] phone (the phone/tab that you just flew with) the vids will be MP4. You can convert to anything else on the PC.

I've only had the breeze since Winter, haven't been able to fly in temps above freezing yet & it's been flying fine to 10 deg F. The only issue I've run into, I clipped a tree that popped off one of the prop guards. They are nearly impossible to find in the snow. On that same screw-up, I found...

I also use an S5 and normally don't have any issues. As the smart guys said, use airplane mode ON anyway. I'm pretty sure I've been ok with AP off, but w/the S5 you have to very sure you have no other networks around that you've previously connected to. The S5 will try to reconnect any time a...

Ouch, that's bummer. It seems a little cyanoacrylate type cement might re-weld that if you can spread the crack a bit, apply, and wrap it tight w/a tie-wrap. Maybe pull the motor first. I had a similar smack and have cracked the motor guards (really hard to find white pieces in the snow), and...

WTFDp has great advice. Grab an inexpensive inverter. If I can make out the microscopic type on the breeze charger, it wants 0.8 amps and lets assume 120v (I used to be able to see that small). That should put you at a 100w inverter. Maybe a bit more headroom, say 120watts. These are cheap if...

My favorite warranty plan is to watch for bargain sales. Woot has had 3 deals in the last 3 or 4 months for a $99 new Breeze. That's a great deal and your unit will instantly become the spare parts bin for the next 'event'

Yikes, what a mess of an environment. Any time I see you guys that have to shoot in these constraints I feel lucky to be out a bit. Nice info, and thanks for doc'g the details.

I have also had that happen a couple times. MaxBTM & DoomMeister had a good tips - make sure everything is centered before powering up both. I've used the 'yaw trim' toggle on the controller (gently), the opposite toggle to the gimbal control. I believe this is item 07 in the controller manual...

I believe that means that many of the flight modes must be controlled via the phone. You can bounce from 'Controller' managed flight (ie. the game controller) to a 'phone' managed flight (orbit, journey, etc.) by just returning to the menu and selecting the other mode, all while the breeze is in...
