    Accessories for q500 4K +

    Thanks for the tip Steve, it have been without a charge for over a month, I may or may not get it back up to where it can be charged on the Yuneec charger, plus to be honest - I am not quite sure how to test each cell. I think the safest way is to just buy a new battery since I cannot use it to...

    It's got about 3 volts according to the multimeter. So I've read and watch some people charging them slowly with a different type of charger, that's why the OEM Yuneec charger does not charge the battery anymore due to the very low charge. But there is always a risk of overcharging the battery...

    Yup, that's the first thing I need to get, the original one is shot, do you suggest a Yuneec battery or generic one that one can buy at Amazon?

    haven't attempted it yet, I figured it may cost me about $200 over all cost, but that is just my guess-timate. Assuming the electronics are not shot.

    actually, the drone fell off the tree about 2 weeks ago, just forgot to update this, so I will attempt to repair the drone, so no longer for sale at this time

    DIY fix or send to Yuneec

    After thinking it over within the last few days, I have made my decision. I will hold off on fixing it at the moment, only because I just bought an Autel XSP a few days after I lost my Q500, I didn't think I was gonna get it back. So really, I just spent a good amount of money in July ($799 for...

    Thanks Steve. So now it comes down to the actual cost of repair, I'm not sure the total damage if any, if it's just the shells or maybe more such as electronic boards that are in the camera and drone, since it's been up in the tree for a while, it's been rained on a few times. So it may have a...

    I will have to buy a new battery, my battery is shot since it was not charged for about 1 month since it was on the tree. Does anyone here have any experience with Vertigo Drones - they are a Yuneec reseller and supposedly supported by Yuneec to repair their drones, with a turn around time of...

    I have not opened the shell on the drone, however there is a small crack on the bottom shell, and a piece of plastic piece came out of the drone because I heard a rattling sound inside the drone when you shake it, the camera shell is in one piece however the protective lens cover to the actual...

    So, I finally recovered my downed/stuck drone from the tree after it fell off the tree and my neighbor finding the drone, only problem is it was on the tree for literally a month, -so obviously the battery is shot - but I tried charging it last night hoping that it would but of course it didn't...

    Old bird has returned

    My old Q500 4K is back, it got stuck on my neighbors tree for about 1 month, my other neighbor found the drone on their yard, not knowing who owns the drone, they left it outside on their patio, I was back to the tree today checking if it was still stuck on the tree until the neighbor that found...

    Up to the top. Lol, still for sale, I got this on ebay, but will ask $150 here instead of $180 plus shipping cost of course. Plus I made a error but you guys probably know about it already, The remote is an St-10 not ST-16, now sure why I keep making that error.

    Accessories for q500 4K +

    That's a bummer, so I did fly over the tree, got the new drone as low as I can, was unable to see the drone from the top view, my guess is it's probably about 3-4 feet deep in the middle of the tree from the top and maybe another foot or foot and a half from the side. I loved my Typhoon Q500 4K...

    Accessories for q500 4K +

    Yup, I know. Unfortunately I ended buying a different brand, now I'm tempted to put a rope and a hook on the new drone and try to retrieve the one stuck. But I'll probably not gonna do that, the last thing I need is having to expensive drones stuck on the same tree but I am however thinking of...
