    Exhaust fan noise - what's normal?

    If anyone has what they consider to be a 'normal' sounding ST16 and has the time to post a sound clip I'd really appreciate it. I'm finding the noise quite annoying and distracting, but equally it's probably an element of dripping tap syndrome whereby I'm focused on it and it annoys even more...

    Great supportive forum

    Just wanted to say that I've only recently joined the forum and have asked quite a few questions. I really appreciate how helpful and responsive everyone has been. It's all too easy with things like this to post a question, get a response and then disappear again without stopping to think that...

    Exhaust fan noise - what's normal?

    Hi all, Enjoyed my first flight with the H this evening. I love it, it's a beast. I'm enjoying not having to mess around with my phone and wondering if the DJI Go app is going to crash again, as it did with my phantom. Reading the forums I'm aware there is a particular issue with fans in early...

    New H owner - gimbal rotating slowly on its own

    Thanks for your reply. The switches were both up, but I also tried putting the gimbal pan switch into middle and bottom, but it made no difference. However, I have since done a firmware update, recalibrated the accelerometer and gimbal, and obviously restarted both St16 and the H in the...

    New H owner - gimbal rotating slowly on its own

    Hi all, Quick question. When the H is stationary and powered on, is it normal for the gimbal to very slowly rotate of its own accord? It tends to be in the direction that the gimbal pan was last turned, even after it is centred. It happens in both directions. Guessing this is normal but wanted...

    Neewer ND filter set. Any good?

    Thanks for your reply. If you don't mind me asking, what was the issue with them that led you to upgrade?

    Update on UK range?

    Thanks both for your replies. I tend to stick within the LOS rules but was equally interested to know what the limitations are. The main thing is that it reliably stays connected within LOS, as you have both said. I had a suspicion that the Yuneec spec. was now a bit conservative (which is...

    Update on UK range?

    I have just purchased a Typhoon H Advanced in the UK, and I contacted Yuneec in advance about the spec. They say all ST16s now come with the additional antenna (3 in total) and patch antenna as an option. This is good news as I thought that only applied to the Pro version. My question is, has...

    Is the Typhoon H still limited to 400 feet?

    Does this apply to the UK version too? Yuneec still has a message on their website saying it is limited due to CAA rules.

    Typhoon H and Mavic owner here!

    I had a Mavic for a week but found the gimbal to be a really weak aspect of the design. Every time I stopped the drone abruptly it would jump, causing a visible jump in the video, and I was also really concerned about how fragile it was, especially the tiny ribbons and rubber bands. Coupled with...

    Parts availability longer term - new pilot question

    Thanks for your quick reply! I've ditched DJI after numerous issues and have no desire to put up with their shocking GO app any longer. Really looking forward to the dedicated controller/monitor. I hope you're right and that Yuneec will keep going. I guess the imminent release of their new...

    Parts availability longer term - new pilot question

    New Typhoon H pilot here. Just ordered a Typhoon H having tried one out a few months back. I notice the price is dropping in the UK and I know Yuneec laid off staff earlier this year. Is this a concern in the longer term? Is the H about to be discontinued? I know that batteries have a...
