    Folding frame for Q500

    Certainly an interesting exercize in getting the packaging size down. It certainly is a large quad. I for one would be interested in what you come up with in the future. Keep us posted.

    Video for Youtube

    Well after some experimentation, I've concluded that my laptop and desk top cannot handle 4K at the moment. So I'll have to shoot 1080. In fact my pcs don't even recognize nor give me the option to see it in the list of videos on the sd card. Odd but until I can get a pc that handles it or can...

    So i bought one of these

    Update. Seems the batteries I noted above are ok. My Yuneec charger was the issue. Gonna keep the batteries and the new venom charger and see how it goes in vacation to Colorado. Hoping for some nice no wind days and that the firmware they sent me for removing the 8000 foot limit works..lol...

    Video for Youtube

    so I'm wondering, after I shoot video using my 500 4K and put it on you tube for family to view, do I shoot it in 4K, 1080 or 720. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Then next I need to learn how to set that up on a private you tube channel. Many tks

    So i bought one of these

    Well I got tired of wondering if it was the charger or the batteries, so I bit the bullet and took the advise of those more knowledgeable in here and bought the 50 watt dual 3S Venom charger from Walmart for $59. This way I can see which it is and also get a better charger in the process...

    So i bought one of these

    Yea I'm not sure if the pins on my Q500 4K are lining up or if I got two bad batteries. Disappointing in any case. And it's been too windy here since I bought it to actually try out the batteries much before vacation. Does anyone know if the venom chargers noted on another thread come with...

    So i bought one of these

    hello, I need some advise I bought one of these batteries off of eBay as an extra battery before I leave in vacation. eBay The first one I used for about 10 minutes then put it on the Yuneec battery charger. Well after about 5 hours, it still had the green and red light blinking. I put it...

    Q500 4K maiden voyage... Propeller just flew off mid flight.

    Just a heads up on the Husky box i bought today. So the website showed two different prices, which I did not catch until I was at the store. The store that did not have one in stock quoted $49. The other store, 4 miles away, website and in store price were $59 (in stock) . So after some...

    ND Filters, worth the cost!

    Just an update, my local BB had a couple left at $49. After showing the sales guy the website I was able to get the clearance price too. Just in case others need one. There are some still available.

    CGO3 vs CGO3+ ?

    Hello can someone explain, now I'm going by memory, but when I get into the camera settings of my new 500 4K via the st10 one of the options is CGO pro. I have not set it to that' yet but just wondering if our cameras are the regular CGO or pro. Is the pro version the "+" referenced by others...

    Q500 4K maiden voyage... Propeller just flew off mid flight.

    Cool and tks. It looks like a great solution. And since I checked earlier in the week, it's back down to $49. Several stores in the area have them, looks like I'll be setting mine up this weekend since I can't fly. Cold and windy and my house is in a no fly zone. I need that waiver Yuneec...

    Hey Jafo if you have a Home Depot locally you can get it delivered to the store for free I believe. Let me know if you need a part number. I'm gonna get one by this weekend.

    Q500 4K maiden voyage... Propeller just flew off mid flight.

    So wingshooter, the $59 question is would you do it again as opposed to the normal case where some disassembly is required. I'm guessing yes? I plan on looking at the case this weekend and after the shock of it's size, buying one for my bird. By the way, I'll say it again. Great forum and...

    Q500 4K maiden voyage... Propeller just flew off mid flight.

    Well I'm not sure I completely agree with your analogy of forcing bubbles out. It really just fills in the voids between the threads with a mild adhesive. It's used extensively in the aircraft industry. It's great for stress and vibration environments. There are many types from mild to...
